Transparent plastic films are widely used in agriculture as greenhouses covering and in the food industry as packaging films. The films are usually prepared by hydrophobic low polarity thermoplastics such as polyethylene (PE). In a greenhouse, the temperature and humidity are usually higher than the outside temperatur…

All glassy epoxy polymers develop macroscopic properties at some degree of conversion. Our selected example, diglycidyl ether bisphenol‐A epoxy pre‐polymer, was cured with 3,3′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone at stoichiometric equivalents using a series of cure profiles to produce distinct variation in the degree of epoxy conv…

Basal elements in archaeal promoters, except for putative initiator elements encompassing transcription start sites, are well characterized. Here, we employed the Sulfolobus araS promoter as a model to study the function of the initiator element (Inr) in archaea. We have provided evidence for the presence of a third c…

In the kneading of glass–fiber‐reinforced plastics by twin‐screw extrusion, the use of a backward‐mixing screw (BMS) element for melt mixing has been found to be effective in dispersing glass–fiber bundles. In this study, we use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate the mechanism for the effectiveness of B…

The use of NMR-derived chemical shifts in protein structure determination and prediction has received much attention, and, as such, many methods have been developed to predict protein chemical shifts from three-dimensional (3D) coordinates. In contrast, little attention has been paid to predicting chemical shifts from…

The purpose of a concept analysis is to examine the structure and function of a concept by defining its attributes and internal structure. Concept analysis can clarify an overused or vague concept and promote mutual understanding by providing a precise operational definition. Mentoring is a concept more fully used by…

The phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of the Mo–Re system are studied by combining first-principle and CALPHAD approach. The mixing enthalpies in the bcc and hcp solution phases are estimated by first-principle calculations using the special quasirandom structures. The liquid, bcc and hcp phases are descri…

Protein phosphorylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications used in signal transduction to control cell growth, proliferation, and survival in response to both intracellular and extracellular stimuli. This modification is finely coordinated by a network of kinases and phosphatases that recognize…

The electrical and thermal behavior of epoxy composites reinforced with different contents of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (from 0.1 to 0.4 wt% CNT) is studied when they are subjected to relatively high DC voltages (from 1 to 100 V). These materials obey Ohm's law, reaching values of electrical conductivity in the ra…

The amorphous Co 3 O 4 nanostructure, which adopted sodium hexametaphosphate as structure-directing agent, has been successfully synthesized in large scale via two steps: preparation of the precursor and the calcination process. The results of X-ray diffraction indicate that the prepared materials are mainly composed…

We use Raman scattering to study phase transition in the graphitic g‐BC8 phase and graphite at high pressure up to 84 GPa. The E2g Raman active mode of graphite (G peak) can be detected up to 84 GPa. We demonstrate that there is (1) a phase transition in g‐BC8 and in graphite at 35 GPa and (2) that above 35 GPa, the g…
