It is important to be able to measure the parameters, such as spatial resolution, astigmastism, signal-to-noise ratio, and drift and instability, that characterize the performance of a scanning electron microscope. These quantities can be determined most reliably by a Fourier analysis of digital micrographs from the i…
The glycyl radical enzyme pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL) synthesizes acetyl-CoA and formate from pyruvate and CoA. With the crystal structure of the non-radical form of PFL in complex with its two substrates, we have trapped the moment prior to pyruvate cleavage. The structure reveals how the active site aligns the scis…
Cationic copolymers of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) and N-methyl-N-vinylacetamide (NMVA) were synthesized by radical polymerization in a broad range of composition. Since the cyclocopolymerization of DADMAC and NMVA proceeded as nearly ideal reaction, linear copolymers of different charge densities but ap…
Dendrimer nanocomposites (DNC) are hybrid nanoparticles formed by the dispersion and immobilization of guest atoms or small clusters in dendritic polymer matrices. They have a great potential in biomedical applications due to their controlled composition, predetermined size, shape and variable surface functionalities.…
ABSTRACT: ‘Fortune’ mandarin oranges were coated with edible hydroxypropyl methylcellulose‐lipid composite coatings. The coatings consisted of beeswax, carnauba wax, or shellac, at 2 lipid contents (20% and 60%). Weight loss of coated mandarins decreased significantly as lipid content increased. Beeswax (60%) emulsion…
Cell division, the mating system, and auxosporulation were studied in the marine epipelic diatom Seminavis cf. robusta Danielidis & D. G. Mann. The interphase protoplast contains two girdle‐appressed chloroplasts, each with an elongate bar‐like pyrenoid, and also a central nucleus, located in a bridge between two…
Abstract Kinetics and mechanism of equifunctional 4,4′‐( N , N ′‐bismaleimide)‐diphenylmethane/2,2′‐diallyl‐bisphenol A (BMDM/DABPA) and model (phenylmaleimide/2,2′‐diallylphenol) (PMI/AP) systems have been studied in the temperature range 140–400 °C using IR‐, 1 H‐ and 13 C‐NMR spectroscopy, gas chromatography–mass…
Natural fibre-biopolymer composites have been prepared from flax and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). The flax was modified by drying, followed by plasticiser absorption to replace the water lost to prevent embrittlement. This protects the fibres from problems associated with their water content and changes in water content…
Novel surface-functionalized metal oxo clusters were obtained using an in situ surface-modification method based on the sol−gel process. A reaction of 2-bromoisobutyric acid with Zr(OPr) 4 or Ti(O i Pr) 4 resulted in the compounds Zr 5 O 4 (BrC(CH 3 ) 2 COO) 10 (O n Pr) 2 ( n PrOH) 4 and Ti 6 O 4 (BrC(CH 3 ) 2 COO) 8…
In situ neutron diffraction at 0.9 s time resolution was used to reveal the reaction mechanism during the self‐propagating high‐temperature synthesis (SHS) of Ti 3 SiC 2 from furnace‐ignited stoichiometric 3Ti + SiC + C mixtures. The diffraction patterns indicate that the SHS proceeded in five stages: (i) preheating o…
The paper deals with the computation of very fast transient overvoltages (VFTO) in transformer windings. For this purpose an algorithm is developed. The applied algorithm uses a hybrid model, which is a combination of the multi-conductor transmission line model (MTLM) and the single-transmission line model (STLM). By…
The success of a tissue-engineering application depends on the use of suitable biomaterials that degrade in a timely manner and induce the least immunogenicity in the host. With this purpose in mind, we have attempted to synthesize a novel nontoxic biodegradable lysine diisocyanate (LDI)- and glucose-based polymer via…
The stability and biological behavior of an in vitro system of doxorubicin (DXR) entrapped in NK911, polymer micelles, was examined and compared with those of DXR entrapped in Doxil, polyethylene-glycol-conjugated liposomes. The fluorescence of DXR inside micelles or liposomes in an aqueous solution is known to be str…
Abstract The impact of alkaline solutions (pH = 13.2) on the clay mineralogy of the Callovo-Oxfordian formation hosting the French underground laboratory for nuclear waste disposal investigation (Meuse-Haute Marne site) has been studied experimentally. Initially, each of the four samples selected as representative of…
We have investigated ZnO epilayers grown under various Zn/O ratios by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. The growth conditions are elucidated by a relationship between growth rate and Zn/O ratios. Surface phase diagrams are obtained by investigation of reflection high-energy electron diffraction. Hexagonal-shaped…
Fifty years ago, the concept of an intrinsic electric strength for insulating solids was fashionable. It was supported by the sophisticated theoretical models of von Hippel, Frohlich and others for the interaction of electrons with crystal lattices in an electric field. The models came to be applied, rather implausibl…
One approach to the tissue engineering of vascular structures is to develop in vitro conditions in order ultimately to fabricate functional vascular tissues before final implantation. In our experiment, we aimed to develop a new combined cell seeding and perfusion system that provides sterile conditions during cell se…
Abstract Foams containing poly(lactic acid) (PLA) have been prepared from the corresponding macromonomers using high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) as templates to create the porous structure. The resulting PolyHIPE foams have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy and the influence of diluent type, eithe…
α-Al 2 O 3 nanowires and nanobelts have been successfully synthesized from Al pieces and SiO 2 nanoparticles at 1200 °C and 1150 °C, respectively, in a flowing Ar atmosphere. The α-Al 2 O 3 nanowires are uniform with diameters of 20−70 nm and lengths of 15−25 μm, and the nanobelts are several to tens of micrometers lo…
Nacre organic matrix has been conventionally classified as both 'water-soluble' and 'water-insoluble', based on its solubility in aqueous solutions after decalcification with acid or EDTA. Some characteristics (aspartic acid-rich, silk-fibroin-like content) were specifically attributed to either one or the other. The…
