A bacterial strain, designated strain LP01(T), was isolated from a laboratory-scale microcosm packed with a mixture of soil and sewage sludge compost designed to study the evolution of microbial biodiversity over time. The bacterial strain was selected for its potential ability to store polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as…
The single crystal deformation behaviour of orthorhombic Al13Co4 has been studied below the brittle-ductile transition temperature observed in bulk material from room temperature to 600 °C, using indentation, microcompression and transmission electron microscopy. At room temperature, slip occurred most easily by dislo…
The molecular mechanism of calcium carbonate nucleation in the presence of various types of collageneous proteins is unravelled from computer simulation of ion-by-ion association steps. Single calcium ions are incorporated in the triplehelix by formation of salt bridges to carbonyl and hydroxyl groups of collagen, whi…
We studied the low-lying electronic structure of the newly discovered iron-platinum-arsenide superconductor, Ca${}_{10}$(Pt${}_{4}$As${}_{8}$)(Fe${}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}$Pt${}_{x}$As${}_{2}$)${}_{5}$ (${T}_{c}=22$ K) with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We found that the Pt${}_{4}$As${}_{8}$ layer contributes…
To address the problem of fossil fuel usage and high greenhouse gas emissions at the Missouri University of Science and Technology campus, using of alternative fuels and renewable energy sources can lower energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Biogas, produced by anaerobic digestion of wastewater, organic wa…
In a novel electron-donor-acceptor conjugate, phthalocyanine (Pc) and perylenediimide (PDI) are connected through a trans-platinum(II) diacetylide linker to yield Pc-Pt-PDI 1. In the ground state, the presence of Pt(II) disrupts the electronic communication between the two electroactive components, as revealed by UV/V…
Fano resonance (FR) is routinely observed in three-dimensional symmetric metamaterials (MMs) consisting of elliptical nanoholes array (ENA) embedding through metal–dielectric–metal (MDM) multilayers. It is shown theoretically that a square periodic ENA perforating through MDM layers produces an FR response in the near…
Herein, we present a strategy for the glycoconjugation of nanoparticles (NPs), with a special focus on fluorescent quantum dots (QDs), recently described by us as "preassembly" approach. Therein, prior to the encapsulation of diverse nanoparticles by an amphiphilic poly(isoprene)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) diblock copoly…
The aspect ratio and yield of PbSe nanorods synthesized by the reaction of Pb-oleate with tris(diethylamino)phosphine selenide are highly sensitive to the presence of water, making it critical to control the amount of water present in the reaction. By carefully drying the reaction precursors and then intentionally add…
The functionalization of nanoporous zeolite L crystals with β-cyclodextrin (CD) has been demonstrated. The zeolite surface was first modified with amino groups by using two different aminoalkoxysilanes. Then, 1,4-phenylene diisothiocyanate was reacted with the amino monolayer and used to bind CD heptamine by using its…
Corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) were used as sustainable and environmentally friendly warp sizing agents for cotton, polyester, and polyester/cotton (P/C) in an effort to find potential substitutes for starch and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Sizing is an essential textile process to reduce warp breakag…
The thermoforming process is a manufacturing method to produce fibre-reinforced thermoplastic components within short cycle times (<2 min). During this process, the anisotropic material behaviour provokes residual stresses which furthermore induce unwanted deformations. Thereby, at the beginning, newly produced geomet…
Microstructure of turbostratic graphite consists of a large amount of pores and voids which eventually convert to plates and flakes constituting layered microfolding upon high-temperature heat treatment. This treatment results in apparent phase transformation from 3D to 2D structured graphite where stacking order betw…
) was synthesized, and the details of the structures of its thin films were successfully investigated for the first time by using in situ grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS) with a synchrotron radiation source. Our quantitative GIXS analysis showed that thin films of the star polymer molecules have very complex…
The complex Ti[OGe i Pr 3 ] 4 ( 1 ), prepared via the reaction of Ti(O i Pr) 4 with i Pr 3 GeOH, represents a useful structural and spectroscopic model for titanium–germanium species dispersed onto silica. This precursor was used to introduce site-isolated Ti(IV) centers onto the surface of a mesoporous SBA15 support…
ABSTRACT Rigid polyurethane foam, one kind of building insulation material used in China, is prone to being ignited by hot particles from fireworks or welding processes and has been the fuel for some catastrophic fire accidents. Thermal decomposition has long been recognized to play an important role in the ignition a…
Developing a reliable technique to organize nanoscale building blocks into ordered one‐dimensional assemblies is of particular interest in a range of practical applications. Here, for the first time, it is reported that platinum (Pt) nanoparticle chain networks can be assembled spontaneously in solution on a large sca…
Library search is one of the most commonly used methods for solving the inverse problem in optical scatterometry. The final measurement accuracy of the conventional library search method highly depends on the grid interval selected for each parameter in the signature library, and the time cost of the parameter extract…
Dense arrays of aligned graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are fabricated by substrate-controlled etching of large-area single-layer graphene. An adequate choice of etching substrate and catalyst deposition method allows densities up to 25 nanoribbons μm(-1) to be obtained with average widths of 19 nm. The efficacy of the me…
