The decarboxylation of brown grease (BG) to green diesel hydrocarbons over a 5 wt % Pd/C catalyst was investigated in semibatch and batch reactors. Catalytic deoxygenation of BG under H 2 –Ar occurs primarily via decarboxylation with the liquid products of primarily n -heptadecane and n -pentadecane. A 90% conversion…

The spatial switching of mid-infrared light near-fields is proposed in coupled graphene heterogeneous ribbon pairs. By using the coupled plasmon modes in graphene ribbon pairs, the electric near-field enhancement can be spatially controlled in graphene ribbons as the tuning of the external bias voltage difference.

We report enhanced solar cell performance using high-density InAs quantum dots. The high-density quantum dot was grown by antimony mediated molecular beam epitaxy. In-plane quantum dot density over 1 × 1011 cm−2 was achieved by applying a few monolayers of antimony on the GaAs surface prior to quantum dot growth. The…

An unusually large Kadowaki–Woods ratio of A/γ2 ∼ 43 μΩ·cm·mol2·K2·J−2 has been observed for intermetallic Mn1-xFexCoGe compounds in the proximity of x = 0.2 where the magnetic state of itinerant electrons system changes. The ratio is approximately four times larger than observed for heavy fermion systems. The manifes…

BACKGROUND: We have previously proposed triosephosphate isomerase of Giardia lamblia (GlTIM) as a target for rational drug design against giardiasis, one of the most common parasitic infections in humans. Since the enzyme exists in the parasite and the host, selective inhibition is a major challenge because essential…

This letter reports microwave-assisted magnetization reversal (MAMR) in a 700-Gbit/in2 perpendicular media sample. The microwave fields were applied by placing a coplanar waveguide on the media sample and feeding it with narrow microwave pulses. The switching states of the media grains were measured by magnetic force…
