Chromium oxide Cr 2 O 3 thin films were prepared by atmospheric‐pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. For CVD from chromium hexacarbonyl, the lower limit of the reaction temperature was 150°C, which could be reduced to 60°C by irradiation with UV light. The films exhibited preferred overgrowth with a verti…

Structural changes in sol-gel derived amorphous silica films were investigated using vacuum ultraviolet light emitted from an undulator. A significant increase in the refractive index and a decrease in the thickness for the silica films were induced by photons with energies above ∼9 eV. The frequency shift of ω4 (tran…

Abstract This paper examines the mechanisms by which a polymer is dispersed in a co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder. An experimental investigation of the morphological evolution has been carried out on a 45‐mm co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder. Polyethylene/polystyrene (PE/PS) blends in the low concentration range (i.e., 5…

We have identified three distinct membrane vesicle populations from sea urchin egg cytoplasm that cooperate in assembling the male pronuclear envelope in vitro. Membranes from sea urchin egg homogenates were separated by buoyant density into five vesicle fractions, three of which bind to demembranated sperm nuclei. Ea…

We compared the efficacy and safety of three doses of beraprost sodium, an epoprostenol analogue, with placebo in the treatment of intermittent claudication (Fontaine's stage II). One hundred sixty-four patients were randomized to receive either placebo, 20 micrograms beraprost sodium (BPS60 group), 40 micrograms bera…

The CD spectra of dispersions of DNA, in the form of cholesteric liquid crystalline droplets, in an aqueous continuum have been studied. Calculated curves have been fitted to experimental spectra. The amplitude and the sign of the intense absorption band of the purine and pyrimidine bases vary with the droplet size, t…

Abstract We prepared several types of thick ≈200 μm films of a poly(vinyl chloride)/poly‐(methyl methacrylate) (PVC/PMMA) gradient polymer blend, which contained a widely waried compositional gradient phase, using a dissolution and diffusion method. We discussed the preparation conditions by classifying those gradient…

Highly textured silicon carbide was fabricated via anisotropic grain growth. Large, platelike grains were grown from a fine‐grained sintered matrix which had been seeded with ≤2% SiC platelets. The seeds were initially incorporated with preferred orientation during the green‐state forming process and this resulted in…

Indium oxide thin films have been prepared by thermal oxidation of vacuum-deposited indium thin films in air in an open furnace at about 600 K. These indium oxide thin films prepared by thermal oxidation have been examined for optical transparency by measuring their optical absorbance as a function of wavelength. From…

The determination of thin film thickness by four X-ray reflectivity methods (namely, the peak separation, the Fourier transform, the modified Bragg equation, and the curve-fitting methods) has been studied. An analysis of SrS and BaF 2 thin films showed thickness values determined by the methods agreed to within 4%. T…

During sintering of Al 2 O 3 ‐10ZrO 2 ceramics, cracklike voids were formed due to the differential in densification between agglomerates and the matrix. The small external pressure (2 MPa) applied during presintering at 1200°C prevented the formation of these cracklike voids. The results are explained in relation to…
