Contamination flashover is the ultimate result of the creeping discharge of polluted insulators. Since there are close ties between the contamination flashover and the leakage currents, it is critical to research the leakage current characteristics during the entire contamination discharge process. The leakage current…
Conduction calorimetry has been used to determine with high precision the latent heat and variation in heat capacity which accompany the first order [Formula: see text] phase transition in perovskites with compositions (Ca(1-x)Sr(x))TiO(3), x = 0.65, 0.68, 0.74 (CST65, CST68, CST74). In CST65 (CST68), the latent heat…
In this work, we present transport measurements of individual Sn-doped In2O3nanowires as a function of temperature and magnetic field. The results showed a localized character of the resistivity at low temperatures as evidenced by the presence of a negative temperature coefficient resistance in temperatures lower than…
INTRODUCTION: Recent anticancer drugs have been made larger to pass selectively through tumor vessels and stay in the interstitium. Understanding drug movement in association with its size at the single-molecule level and estimating the time needed to reach the targeted organ is indispensable for optimizing drug deliv…
We have fabricated and characterised colloidal silver nanoparticles by the electrical arc discharge method in DI water. Size and optical properties of the silver nanoparticles were studied versus different arc currents. Optical absorption indicates a plasmonic peak at 392 nm for 10 A which increases to 398 nm for 20 A…
The synthesis of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) exhibiting one fluorescent dye (Texas Red) and one methyl disulfide end group is described. It is shown that the latter end group enabled the exchange of both oleic amine on gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and of oleic acid on CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QD), allowing for a phase…
Photochromic naphthopyran derivatives have been embedded in sol-gel prepared organically modified thin films. The introduction of organic functional groups into a silica matrix allows tailoring the surface of its pores and the polarity of the environment of the embedded host molecules. The photochromic properties of t…
The structural stability, magnetic properties and electronic structure of tetragonal BiCoO(3) under pressure have been studied by first-principles density functional calculations. The calculated results reveal that no tetragonal-to-cubic and ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transitions occur up to 30 GPa with a vol…
We report on the fabrication of Fe–Te–S epitaxial thin films on SrTiO 3 (100) and MgO(100) single crystal substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Crystal structure was checked by X-ray diffraction, composition by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM–EDS), and superconductivity by resista…
The neutral pentacoordinate silicon(IV) complexes 1 (SiS2ONC skeleton), 2 (SiSeSONC), 3 (SiTeSONC), 6/9 (SiSe2O2C), 7 (SiSe2S2C), and 8/10 (SiSe4C) were synthesized and structurally characterized by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and multinuclear solid-state and solution-state (except for 6-9) NMR spectroscopy…
Systematic model investigations of the molecular interactions of fluorinated amino acids within native protein environments substantially improve our understanding of the unique properties of these building blocks. A rationally designed heterodimeric coiled coil peptide (VPE/VPK) and nine variants containing amino aci…
GTP cyclohydrolase II catalyzes the first dedicated step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin and appears to be a limiting factor for the production of the vitamin by recombinant Bacillus subtilis overproducer strains. Using error-prone PCR amplification, we generated a library of the B. subtilis ribA gene selectively mu…
The alkali metal thermal to electric converter (AMTEC) is one of the most promising technologies for direct conversion of thermal energy to electricity and has been receiving attention in the field of energy conversion and utilization in the past several decades. This paper aims to present a comprehensive review of th…
A set of investigations on selected samples of nanosized cobalt ferrite are reviewed, aimed at studying the various factors affecting the magnetic properties of nanoparticles. Specifically, the effects of inter-particle interactions, of structural and magnetic order, both in the core and on the surface of the particle…
Abstract We investigate the numerical response of the linear Cosserat model with conformal curvature. In our simulations we compare the standard Cosserat model with a novel conformal Cosserat model in torsion and highlight its intriguing features. In all cases, free boundary conditions for the microrotations overline…
Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field focused on in vitro reconstruction of mammalian tissues. In order to allow a similar three-dimensional organization of in vitro cultured cells, biocompatible scaffolds are needed. This need has provided immense momentum for research on "smart scaffolds" for use in cell c…
We have investigated the antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of a series of amino-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers modified with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) groups. The antibacterial activity of the PAMAM dendrimers and their derivatives against the common ocular pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and…
The review highlights different approaches to template organic materials as well as hybrid materials that find or are expected to find application in optoelectronic devices. The first templating approach focuses on the use of preformed nanoporous membranes as templates for organic materials and polymeric materials. Su…
We have investigated experimentally the influence of a magnetic interaction between the grains on the compaction dynamics of a granular pile submitted to a series of taps. The granular material used to perform this study is a mixture of metallic and glass grains. The packing is immersed in an homogeneous external magn…
The present work reports synthesis, as well as a detailed and careful characterization of structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties of differently tempered undoped and doped CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) ceramics. For this purpose, neutron and x-ray powder diffraction, SQUID measurements, and dielectric spectroscopy have b…
