This research presents a flexible reflective thermochromic display (TCD) comprised of thermochromic pigments and a patterned indium tin oxide (ITO) film coated on a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate, and the display's thermo-optical characteristics. The display showed maximum red, green, and blue reflectances o…
Since its opening to the users in late 2007, the TwinMic beamline at the Elettra synchrotron has been attracting the interest of a broad life science community. The recent development and implementation of a low energy x-ray fluorescence detection mode have increased the capability and the versatility of the scanning…
We combine polymer integral equation theory and computational chemistry methods to study the interfacial structure, effective interactions, miscibility and spatial dispersion mechanism of fullerenes dissolved in specific random AB copolymer melts characterized by strong noncovalent electron donor–acceptor interactions…
Thin mesoporous titania films prepared by surfactant templating feature some of the highest light conversion efficiencies per thickness ratios as anodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). However, the fabrication of thicker films required for sufficient light absorption is very challenging using this approach, ofte…
This paper describes potentially the using of magnesium alloy as an energy longitudinal member used in crashworthiness applications. Since magnesium alloys are lighter weight material, they are preferred to use to decrease the environmental pollution and fuel consumptions. Non-linear finite element was used to simulat…
The wetting and dewetting behavior of biological nanostructures and to a greater degree single molecules is not well-known even though their contact with water is the basis for all biology. Here, we show that environmental electron microscopy (EM) can be applied as a means of imaging the condensation of water onto vir…
Accurate determination of a liquid structure, especially at high temperatures, remains challenging, as reflected in the scatter between different measurements. The experimental challenge is compounded by the process of the numerical transformation from the structure factor to the radial distribution function. The resu…
Widely used in microelectronics and optoelectronics; Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is a III-V crystal with several interesting properties for microsystem and biosensor applications. Among these; its piezoelectric properties and the ability to directly biofunctionalize the bare surface, offer an opportunity to combine a high…
We present scanning near field microscopy and local spectroscopic characterisation of gold nanoparticles fabricated on glass sodalime cover slides. The nanoislands are fabricated by the thermal annealing of gold thin films. Results are presented for samples annealed at 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C. We study the spectral…
To evaluate the structure-function relationships of invertebrate lysozymes, a new invertebrate-type (i-type) lysozyme was isolated from the common orient clam (Meretrix lusoria) and the tertiary structure of this enzyme was determined. Comparison of the tertiary structure of this enzyme with those of chicken and Vener…
Highly oriented wurtzite ( S c, A l) N films were deposited on a diamond/silicon by a co‐sputtering system. The results showed that the formation of S c x A l 1− x N alloys causes a lattice distortion during the phase transition, and this intermediate phase induces a large piezoelectric response. When the scandium con…
Chlamydia trachomatis is a major cause of various diseases, including blinding trachoma and pelvic inflammatory disease, and is the leading reported sexually transmitted bacterial infection worldwide. All pathogenic Chlamydiae spp. utilize a supramolecular syringe, or type III secretion system (T3SS), to inject protei…
For the first time, POSS moieties were introduced to organometallic precursors, PM1 and PM2, for solid-state pyrolysis, in which PM1 contained one [Co2(CO)6] unit, while PM2 contained two. For comparison, their analogues, M1 and M2 without POSS groups, were also prepared. By regulating the number of [Co2(CO)6] moietie…
A case study is presented on waste management practices implemented after a residual fuel oil spill from a steam-generating boiler in an industrial area, and on the technical feasibility of monitored natural attenuation as a treatment option for a recently contaminated tropical soil. One day after contamination, surfa…
Hundreds of protein crystal structures exist for proteins whose function cannot be confidently determined from sequence similarity. Surflex-PSIM, a previously reported surface-based protein similarity algorithm, provides an alternative method for hypothesizing function for such proteins. The method now supports fully…
Contents release from redox-responsive liposomes is anion-specific. Liposomal contents release is initiated by the contact of apposed liposome bilayers having in their outer leaflet 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE), whose presence is due to the redox-stimulated removal of a quinone propionic acid p…
BACKGROUND: The unique properties of metallic nanoparticles have enabled their utilization in biosensing applications. A novel assay for the detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in serum specimens has been developed using magnetic nanoparticles and unmodified cationic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). METHODS: HCV RNA w…
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) or biological fuel cells are biochemical system that drives energy by mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy without any combustion reactions being carried out. In our research, soil MFC was constructed and bioelectricity was har…
Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) based on metal oxide photo anode is of greater interest at the present scenario. The light harvesting capability of the photo anode is the most crucial factor in determining the efficiency of DSSC. Thus to decide on suitable photo anode to attain greater efficiency is critical confront…
Three-dimensional porous polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds with consistent inter-pore channels, 83% porosity and 300–400 μm pore size were fabricated via selective laser sintering. The PCL scaffold was combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to form a bioactive composite and studied for potential application in bone t…
