We have considered the dynamical evolution of cellular patterns controlled by a stochastic Glauber process determined by the deviations of local cell topology from that of a crystalline structure. Above a critical temperature evolution is towards a common equilibrium state from any initial configuration, but beneath t…

Chemotherapy is commonly used in the treatment of cancers. However, the mechanism of action of many of these agents is not well understood. We present the synthesis of a two-photon fluorophore (C625) and its biological application when chemically linked to a chemotherapeutic agent (AN-152). By using two-photon laser-s…

Nanostructured CeO 2 - x and Cu 0.15 Ce 0.85 O 2 - x were synthesized by high-pressure magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction was used for phase analysis and grain size characterization. The structural analysis indicated that Cu was highly dispersed, which could be explained by surface segregation on cerium oxide nan…

Relationships between the structure, properties, and processing techniques of model polymer gels are investigated. The mechanical properties of the gels are determined by a thermally reversible aggregation of the syndiotactic PMMA end blocks of an acrylic triblock copolymer, which is diluted with a selective solvent f…

The spatial distribution of the terminal groups of poly(amido amine) dendrimers have been determined experimentally by small-angle neutron scattering with deuterium labeling and scattering contrast variation. The radius of gyration of deuterated terminal units of generation 7 dendrimers is 39.3 ± 1.0 Å. This is signif…

The average dimensions of poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generations G5 and G8 are studied by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) as a function of solvents of differing quality, the composition of mixtures of a good solvent and a nonsolvent, and temperature. The radius of gyration, R g, of the G8 dendrimer…

Process schemes for single-step syngas-to-dimethyl ether (DME) were developed in two stages: (1) the performance of the syngas-to-DME reactor was optimized with respect to the feed gas composition and (2) the optimal reactor feed gas system was integrated with synthesis gas generators. It was shown that the reactor pe…

The effect of Al substitution on the hydrothermal stability of Si−Al−MCM-41 (Si/Al = 50) under different treatment conditions has been investigated in detail, and a fundamental understanding is discussed based on its effect on both geometrical and chemical properties of MCM-41. Compared with Si−MCM-41, the small amoun…

The oxidation of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG)-containing oligodeoxynucleotides has been investigated using a variety of oxidants, including one-electron oxidants (Ir(IV), Fe(III), NiCR/KHSO 5, and SO 4 - • ) as well as singlet oxygen, generated both photochemically and thermally. The extents of oxidation in singl…

We present a method for constructing a scalar-relativistic pseudopotential which provides exact agreement with relativistic Dirac-Slater all-electron eigenvalues at the reference configuration. All-electron wave functions are self-consistently computed in the valence region at the exact all-electron scalar relativisti…

Magnetotransport properties of ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As have been investigated. Measurements at low temperature (50 mK) and high magnetic field (<= 27 T) have been employed in order to determine the hole concentration p = 3.5x10^20 cm ^-3 of a metallic (Ga0.947Mn0.053)As layer. The analysis of the tempera…

Numerous and all unsuccessful attempts of experimental search for monopole in cosmic rays and on accelerators in high energy particle collisions have been done since the possibility of existence of a magnetic monopole has been surveyed in 1931. Also the searches have been carried out in mica for monopole tracks as wel…

A method is described to synthesize silicon carbide (SiC)-filled boron nitride (BN) nanotubes (NT) simultaneously in high yield by using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as templates. This method combines both carbon nanotube-substitution reaction and confined reaction. Through the CNT-substitution reaction, CNTs react with bo…

We have measured an enhancement factor of Raman signal up to 30 times using a Fabry-Pérot structure made of porous silicon (PS) layers of different porosity. The obtained enhancement was due to the coupling of the laser radiation and Stokes photons of porous silicon with the microcavity mode at the optimal laser beam…
