Electron charge density studies of a potassium niobate KNbO3perovskite-type crystal have been carried out by analyzing synchrotron radiation X-ray powder diffraction data using a combination of the Rietveld method and the maximum entropy method. The crystal structures of the cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, and rhombo…
Aluminum-based alloy hydride Al2CuHx (x ∼ 1) is synthesized by hydrogenating Al2Cu alloy using high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen atmosphere. Al8Cu square antiprisms in Al2Cu twist around the c axis of a tetragonal unit cell by hydrogenation. The twist enlarges the interstitial spaces for accommodating hydrog…
Alginate fibers were prepared by extruding a concentrated sodium alginate solution into calcium chloride coagulation bath. The rheological behavior of different concentrations of sodium alginate solutions were investigated to evaluate the spinnability. The effect of dope concentration on the morphologies and mechanica…
The work presents experimental results of performance tests and theoretical calculations for the thermoelectric generator TEG fitted in the exhaust system of a 1.3 dm3 JTD engine. Benchmark studies were carried out to analyze the performance of the thermoelectric modules and total TEG efficiency. Additionally the inve…
In the present work the optimal materials selection for wind turbine blades using the Cambridge Engineering Selector (CES) program was carried out. Materials indices were derived, based on the mechanical, physical properties and environmental circumstances. Glass and carbon fibre reinforced plastics (epoxy matrix) sho…
Silver nanoparticles are used in a wide variety of consumer products and are therefore rapidly becoming ubiquitous in the natural environment; they can be expected to be found in the natural waters used as drinking water supplies. This research investigated whether such particles could be expected to be removed in con…
The electronic structures, elastic properties and thermodynamics of MgZn2, Mg2Y and Mg2La have been determined from the first-principle calculations. The calculated heats of formation and cohesive energies show that Mg2La has the strongest alloying ability and structural stability. The structural stability mechanism i…
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen, able to survive and proliferate at refrigeration temperatures. As a result, ready-to-eat meat products have been associated with major outbreaks. Producing meat products involves lethal preservation treatments, e.g. thermal treatments. Listeria contamination, however, ma…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to synthesize Gd(3+)-based silica nanoparticles that conjugate easily with glucosamine and to investigate their use as a nanoprobe for detection of human fibrosarcoma cells. METHODS: Based on the structure of the 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose molecule ((18)FDG), a new compound consis…
Polarization contributions to the tunable properties of Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 ceramics were quantitatively studied by microwave measurements. The width of the ferroelectric domain walls (90° domain walls) decreased with decreasing average grain size. The variation in domain size with grain size for grains smaller than 10 µm…
We demonstrated the grain size effect on the dielectric properties of Ba0.92Ca0.08TiO3 ceramics. Fine-grained Ba0.92Ca0.08TiO3 ceramics with micrometer- and nanometer-sized grains were fabricated by the two-step sintering method and aerosol deposition method, respectively. The permittivity of Ba0.92Ca0.08TiO3 ceramics…
Polyaniline/TiO2 nanocomposites have been prepared by sol-gel technique using citric acid and saturated solution of α-dextrose as a surfactant in presence of hydroxyl group at an anomeric position in sugar chain. The FTIR spectrum indicates the benzenoid, quinoid and MO peaks confirm the formation of PANI/TiO2 nanocom…
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) have received wide interest due to the associated advantages of environment friendly alternate energy source. Owing to the capability of efficient power generation from a broad spectrum of practical fuels, viz. hydrogen, bio fuels, etc, SOFC finds potential applications in portable, mobil…
This communication describes the development of graphene and graphene reinforced polyvinylester nanocomposites. Low concentration of graphene was incorporated in the polymer matrix with the help of two different solvents. The role of solvent in the nanocomposite was studied. The FTIR spectroscopy and electron microsco…
Abstract Synthetic and natural polymers blends represent a new brand of materials with application in wound healing, scaffolds or drug delivery systems. Polycaprolactone/gelatin (PCL/Gt) blends were analyzed in terms of their miscibility. The PCL structure was investigated as a function of Gt content. Changes in the P…
The preparation of reduction-resistant (Ba,Ca)TiO3 ceramics as lead-free piezoelectric materials was studied. To improve their electrical properties, (100),(001)-oriented (Ba0.85Ca0.15)TiO3 ceramics were fabricated by the reactive templated grain growth method using a mixture of platelike CaTiO3 and BaTiO3 particles.…
The development of multidrug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapy is a major obstacle for the successful treatment of cancer. A number of mechanisms have been postulated to account for MDR in cancer. The most common and best-studied mechanism of resistance is mediated through the drug efflux protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp),…
The structural phase transition in vanadium dioxide and its inherent hysteretic behavior are used in the work by Cabrera et al. (pp. 1704–1711) to program multiple mechanical states in a micrometer-sized structure through electrical pulses. The background image on the cover shows one of the lithography masks used for…
