Surface activation of fabric made from cellulose fibres, such as viscose, lyocell, modal fibres and cotton, can be achieved by printing of a concentrated NaOH-containing paste. From the concentration of reducing sugars formed in solution, an increase in intensity of the cellulase hydrolysis by a factor of six to eight…

We have determined the structure of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron TetX2 at 2.8 Å resolution, and shown that it is a class A flavin dependent oxidoreductase. TetX2 has broad activity against a range of tetracyclines including one of the most recent tetracyclines, tigecycline (Tygacil(®)). Comparison of TetX2 with that o…

Abstract In MnAs 1‐ x P x compounds ( x = 0.006 and 0.01), prepared by mechanical alloying, the thermal hysteresis is greatly reduced from about 10–30 K in MnAs‐based compounds, prepared by conventional melting, to 2 K for x = 0.01 (or 4 K for x = 0.006). Such obvious hysteretic reduction is ascribed to the grain‐size…

We studied the transport, magnetic, and structural properties of Ba${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$Sr${}_{x}$V${}_{13}$O${}_{18}$, in which V and O ions form a sodium-chloride lattice with periodically missing sites. We found that the high-temperature insulating phase is characterized by spin-singlet V tetramers, whereas the l…

Abstract The ability of photoinduced surface-relief-grating (SRG) formation of 4-[bis(4-methylphenyl)amino]azobenzene (BMAB) was found to be drastically enhanced by mixing with 4,4′,4′′-tris[3-methylphenyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine (m-MTDATA) due to the increase in glass-transition temperature (Tg). The resulting SR…

Abstract A one‐step synthesis of heterobifunctional hyperbranched polyethylenes covalently tethered with dual acryloyl and 2‐bromoisobutyryl functionalities at controllable contents is reported. It is achieved in one pot by chain‐walking terpolymerization of ethylene with two functional acrylate comonomers, 1,6‐hexane…

Femtosecond reflection spectroscopy was performed on a perovskite-type cobalt oxide, namely, Pr${}_{0.5}$Ca${}_{0.5}$CoO${}_{3}$, that undergoes a photoinduced spin-state transition. After photoirradiation at 30 K, the time profile of the reflectance change shows a broad peak reflecting the propagation of the photodom…

A chemical route was developed for pre-treatment of silica nano particles, prior to introducing the filler into the epoxy matrix in order to improve the compatibility of these phases. Silica nanoparticles were reacted with n-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAP) coupling agent. The nanophase organic-inor…

Abstract Fairly monodisperse “dog bone” shaped gold nanorods were obtained clean and in high yield. Their average aspect ratio could be adjusted from ∼ 2 to ∼ 3 by altering the amount of silver nitrate present in the growth solution. They were coated with a uniform, ultrathin shell of silica and used to detect parathi…
