A unique pentanuclear cluster within a zeolite-type polymer ([Cu5(μ4-Br)(μ3-Br)2(μ2-Br)2](μ2-MeSPr)3)n (1; void space >81%) and a luminescent 1D ([Cu(μ3-I)]4(MeSPr)3)n polymer, 2, are formed when MeSPr reacts with CuBr and CuI.
A novel efficient luminescent chemosensor based on a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen)-tethered Ru(bpy)3(2+) derivative (Ru-cyclen) has been synthesized and characterized. It displays an ON-OFF-type luminescence change with excellent selectivity towards Cu(II) amongst 16 metal ions in 100% aqueous solution. The…
A microfluidic concentration-gradient droplet array generator (CDrAG) with parallel multi-channels and multi-layers was developed with 64 outlet channels producing 33 droplet gradient concentrations. A droplet production rate of 5 × 10(4) min(-1) was obtained, and the RSD value of droplet diameters in 64 groups is 5.5…
Multicellular Tumor Spheroids (MCTS) strongly resemble tumor tissues, which makes them useful tools for radiation biology studies and screening of various chemotherapeutics. The goal of this pilot study was to use MCTS as an in vitro model to determine the response of cells to low temperature-sensitive liposomes (LTSL…
Classic galactosemia is a human autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the GALT gene (GAL7 in yeast), which encodes the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase. Here we show that the unfolded protein response pathway is triggered by galactose in two yeast models of galactosemia: lithium-treated cel…
New dense hollow porous (DHP) metal oxide nanoparticles that are smaller than 100 nm and composed of Co3O4, FeOx, NiO and MnOx were prepared by densely assembling metal oxide nanocrystals based on the hard-template method using a carbon colloid as a sacrificial core. These nanoparticles are quite different from the tr…
The reduction of the Pt(IV) complexes [PtCl4(bipy)], [PtCl4(dach)] and [PtCl4(en)] by glutathione (GSH), L-cysteine (L-Cys) and L-methionine (L-Met) was investigated by stopped-flow spectrophotometry at pH 2.0 (in 0.01 M perchloric acid) and at pH 7.2 (in 25 mM Hepes buffer). Kinetic measurements were performed under…
To further systematically investigate the influence of the positional isomeric ligands on the structures and properties of transition metal complexes, we synthesized six Cd(II) complexes with three positional isomeric dipyridyl ligands (4,4′-bpt, 3,4′-bpt and 3,3′-bpt) and three positional isomeric phenyl dicarboxylat…
Novel cubic Ag@AgX@Graphene (X = Cl, Br) nanocomposites are facilely manipulated by means of a graphene oxide (GO) sheet-assisted assembly protocol, where GO sheets act as an amphiphilic template for hetero-growth of AgX nanoparticles. A morphology transformation of AgX nanoparticles from sphere to cube-like shape was…
Amauroderma rugosum is a wild mushroom that is worn as a necklace by the indigenous communities in Malaysia to prevent fits and incessant crying by babies. The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritive composition and antioxidant potential and anti-inflammatory effects of A. rugosum extracts on LPS-stimulated…
A simple ultrasound assisted chemical precipitation technique for the synthesis of Au@SnO2 core–shell structure nanoparticles is reported. Au nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical reduction of metal salt followed by sonochemical deposition of a tin dioxide shell with controlled shell thickness. The phase and mor…

Short side chain (SSC) perfluorosulfonic acid membranes such as Hyflon Ion® have shown improved proton conductivity and the ability to outperform the benchmark long side chain (LSC) material, Nafion®. Using atomic force microscopy phase imaging over a wide range of relative humidity, we compare the morphology of Nafio…
This paper investigates the tribological characteristics of magnesium (Mg) composites prepared by powder metallurgy route. Attempt was made to identify the effect of filler types (i.e. micro-sized silicon carbide (SiC) particles and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)) on Vickers hardness, specific wear rate and coef…
Light-initiated, radical and hydrogen-bond induced self-assembly of bis-acetamido-functionalized triarylamines is demonstrated to occur in strongly dipolar "push-pull" molecules. This self-assembly process results in the formation of self-assembled nanostructures which in turn increase the efficiency of organic photov…
A Fe/N co-doped ternary nanocarbon hybrid, with uniform bamboo-like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in situ grown on/between the single/few-layer graphene sheets interspaced by carbon nanosphere aggregates, was prepared through a one-pot heat treatment of a precursor mixture containing graphene oxide, Vulcan XC-72 carbon nano…
Conversion of methane to syngas using a chemical‐looping concept is a novel method for syngas generation. This process is based on the transfer of gaseous oxygen source to fuel (e.g., methane) by means of a cycling process using solid oxides as oxygen carriers to avoid direct contact between fuel and gaseous oxygen. S…
CO2 capture from fossil fuel based electricity generation remains costly since new power plants with monoethanol amine (MEA) as the scrubbing agent are under construction. Amidoximes are known to mimic MEA, and porous polymers with amidoximes could offer a sustainable solution to carbon capture. Here we report the fir…
The electrodeposition of germanium from the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide ([BMP][DCA]) and a mixture of [BMP][DCA] and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride ([BMP]Cl) was studied using cyclic voltammetry and using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). [GeCl4(BuIm)2] (BuIm = N…
OBJECTIVES: To enhance the effectiveness of peritoneal dialysis (PD), new biocompatible PD solutions may be needed. The present study was designed to test the efficacy and biocompatibility of hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG)-a nontoxic, nonimmunogenic water-soluble polyether polymer-in PD. METHODS: Adult Sprague-Dawle…
