Abstract Summary: Network polysilsesquioxane spheres made solely of poly(vinylsilsesquioxane) (PVSQ) and poly(3‐mercaptopropylsilsesquioxane) (PMPSQ) were prepared from heterogeneous mixtures of triethylamine (TEA), water, and either vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS), or 3‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The micros…

We investigate by density-functional theory simulations several elementary reactions associated to direct methane-to-methanol conversion on clean Rh(111) surfaces and on Rh adatoms on Rh(111). Energy barriers and reaction paths have been determined by the nudged elastic band method. The rate-limiting step in the proce…

X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and scanning photoelectron microscopy (SPEM) measurements have been performed for Zn1−xCoxO and Zn1−xMgxO to elucidate the effects of the doping of Co and Mg, which have very different electronegativities, on the electronic structures of ZnO nanorods. The intensities of O K…

A system of hard rods confined into a pore with slit geometry (two parallel planar substrates) is studied theoretically in the regime of high packing fraction. In this regime the bulk system exhibits a nematic phase as well as a smectic-A (spatially layered) phase. When the system is confined, strong commensuration ef…

The composites investigated in this article were polypropylene reinforced with Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) fibers. These fibers were modified with N[-3 Trimethoxysilyl propyl] ethylene diamine (Z6020) or stearic acid, which work as coupling agents between fibers and matrix. This work studied the thermal (differen…

The crystal structure of a conserved hypothetical protein corresponding to open reading frame Rv2074 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has been solved by the two-wavelength anomalous dispersion method. Refinement of the molecular structure at 1.6 angstroms resolution resulted in an R(work) of 0.178 and an R(free)…

In crystalline materials, plastic deformation is driven by the non-local long-range interaction of dislocations. This interaction is responsible for a series of features that obey scaling laws, such as the formation of fractal cellular structures, the intermittent plastic flow with scale-free avalanches following a po…

Six new divalent metal selenites have been synthesized by hydro-/solvothermal methods which leads to the incorporation of the organic template as a cation or a ligand. The structure of [H(2)pip][Cu(SeO(3))(2)] (1) (pip=piperazine) features 1D anionic chains of [Cu(SeO(3))(2)](2-) which are cross-linked by the template…

We simulate a disordered assembly of particles interacting through a repulsive Yukawa potential with a small fraction of the particles coupled to an external drive. Distortions in the arrangement of the nondriven particles produce a dynamically induced effective attraction between the driven particles, giving rise to…

Abstract Hexagonal ammonium tungsten bronze, (NH 4 ) 0.33– x WO 3– y , is a possible constituent of the intermediate “tungsten blue oxide” in non‐sag (NS) tungsten production and a material of chromogenic and sensor interest. Its formation has been studied by in situ high‐temperature powder X‐ray diffraction (HT‐XRD)…

K 0.5 La 0.5 Bi 2 Nb 2 O 9 , a relaxor, was synthesized and the structural studies confirmed it to be an n=2 member of the Aurivillius oxides. The 12{h00} and 12{hk0} types of superlattice reflections in the electron diffraction patterns reflected the presence of ordered polar regions. A broad dielectric peak with fre…

Temperature-controlled reversible surface protrusions can be made on NiTi shape memory alloys and thin films as a result of indentation induced two-way shape memory effect. First, spherical indents or scratches are made on the surface of a NiTi alloy in its martensite phase. Second, the indented or scratched surface i…

This paper presents the development of an elastic model for particulate materials based on micromechanics considerations. A particulate material is considered as an assembly of particles. The stress–strain relationship for an assembly can be determined by integrating the behavior of the interparticle contacts in all o…

Partial discharge measurements taken online are severely corrupted by noise due to external disturbances. In this paper a powerful noise reduction technique, based on a wavelet packet denoising algorithm, is employed to isolate the signals from the noise. This methodology enables the denoising of partial discharges th…

The polar Kerr rotation and ellipticity spectra of the as-deposited and annealed Zn1−xCoxO inhomogeneous magnetic semiconductors were measured. The Kerr rotation spectra versus the photon energy can be greatly modulated by adjusting the Co concentration or annealing the samples. Moreover, the observed maximal Kerr rot…
