The partial and total oxidation of methanol on clean and oxygen-precovered Cu(110) has been studied by periodic density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximation. Reaction paths including the geometry and the energetics of several reaction intermediates and the activation barriers be…
Chitosans are natural aminopolysaccharides, whose low cytotoxicity suggests their potential use for nonadhesive, antibacterial coatings on biomaterials implant surfaces. Here, the antiadhesive behavior and ability to kill bacteria upon adhesion ("contact killing") of chitosan coatings were evaluated for two strains of…
Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) has been used to characterize the air-sensitive paramagnetic organouranium azide and nitride complexes [(C5Me5)2UN3(mu-N3)]3 and [(C5Me5)U(mu-I)2]3N, respectively. The trimetallic complex [(C5Me5)U(mu-I)2]3E had been identified by X-ray crystallograp…
Nanoparticles enhance the therapeutic efficacy of an encapsulated drug by increasing and sustaining the delivery of the drug inside the cell. We have previously demonstrated that Aerosol OT (AOT)-alginate nanoparticles, a novel formulation developed recently in our laboratory, significantly enhance the therapeutic eff…
Cationic conjugated polyelectrolytes poly110 and poly120 were designed, synthesized, and characterized with the anticipation of function in the determination of double-stranded DNA concentration [dsDNA]. Their structures contain a pi-delocalized optically active backbone composed of phenylene-fluorene segments copolym…
Solvent cast diblock and triblock copolymer films of poly(ethylene oxide- b -styrene) (PEO- b -PS) and poly(ethylene oxide- b -methyl methacrylate- b -styrene) (PEO- b -PMMA- b -PS), with cylindrical microdomains of PEO or PMMA−PEO, have a high degree of lateral ordering after solvent annealing. The relative humidity…
Low-frequency dielectric responses of carbon nanotubes are important for their manipulation, separation, and electronic applications. Here we report the first experimental measurement of near-dc polarization of individual carbon nanotubes by using modified scanning force microscopy techniques. The transverse polarizab…
FeO(OH) nanorods were prepared by a mild hydrothermal synthesis using tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) as the structure director. The as-prepared FeO(OH) was converted to porous α-Fe 2 O 3 nanorods via calcination at 300 °C. The α-Fe 2 O 3 nanorods have a pore size distribution in the range of 1−5 nm, which is ide…
We present a facile synthetic route to a silver bowl-like array film with hierarchical structures on glass substrate using the colloidal monolayer as a template. In these special hierarchical structures, microstructures were provided by a colloidal template of polystyrene latex spheres and nanostructures resulting fro…
Based on density functional theory (DFT), we have developed algorithms and a program code to investigate the electron transport characteristics for a variety of nanometer scaled devices in the presence of an external bias voltage. We employed basis sets comprised of linear combinations of numerical type atomic orbital…
Two-photon fluorescence spectroscopy of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy [(N-V)-] centers in type Ib diamond single crystals have been studied with a picosecond (7.5 ps) mode-locked Nd:YVO(4) laser operating at 1064 nm. The (N-V)- centers were produced by radiation damage of diamond using a 3 MeV proton beam, follo…
We report here the synthesis of single-phase bulk samples of CoO 2, the x = 0 end member of the A x CoO 2 systems (A = Li, Na), from a pristine LiCoO 2 sample using an electrochemical technique to completely de-intercalate lithium. Thus, synthesized CoO 2 samples were found to be oxygen-stoichiometric and possess a cr…
PURPOSE: To retrospectively compare the frequency of administration and cumulative dose of gadolinium-based contrast agent in dialysis-dependent patients who did and those who did not develop nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The ethics committees granted exempt status for this study and also waive…
A complete, isostructural series of complexes with La-Lu (except Pm) with the ligand TREN-1,2-HOIQO has been synthesized and structurally characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray analysis. All complexes are 1D-polymeric species in the solid state, with the lanthanide being in an eight-coordinate, distorted trigo…
The effect of molecular weight (MW) on the polymorphous crystallization and melting behavior of poly( l -lactide) (PLLA) were systemically studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spe…
A monoclinic lysozyme crystal grown in NaCl solution was transformed into a new monoclinic crystal form by controlled dehydration. This crystal-to-crystal phase transition was accompanied by 20-40% solvent loss and the transformed crystal diffracted to prominently high resolution. The structures of the native and tran…
Abstract The effects of three major molecular parameters of poly(vinyl alcohol)—the number‐average degree of polymerization, degree of saponification, and syndiotactic dyad content—on the characteristics of poly(vinyl alcohol) films were investigated. Various poly(vinyl alcohol) films were prepared by a casting method…
Similarly to atomic positions in a crystal being fixed, or at least constrained by the space group of that crystal, the displacements of atoms in a domain wall are determined or constrained by the symmetry of the wall given by the sectional layer group of the corresponding domain pair. The sectional layer group can be…
Three ternary dysprosium complexes [Dy(2-ClBA)3 · phen]2 (1), [Dy(2-ClBA)3 · 2,2′-bipy]2 (2), and [Dy(2-BrBA)3 · phen]2 (3) (where 2-ClBAH = 2-ClC6H4COOH, 2-BrBAH = 2-BrC6H4COOH, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, and 2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Co…
Metal oxides possess multiple functional properties, such as acid-base, redox, electron transfer and transport, chemisorption by σ and π-bonding of hydrocarbons, O-insertion and H-abstract, etc. which make them very suitable in heterogeneous catalysis, particularly in allowing multistep transformati...
