Abstract This study reports the synthesis, curing, and optoelectronic properties of a solution‐processable, thermally cross‐linkable electron‐ and hole‐blocking material containing fluorene‐core and three periphery N‐phenyl‐N‐(4‐vinylphenyl)benzeneamine (FTV). The FTV exhibited good thermal stability with Td above 478…

Introduction Monitoring is a critically important activity for assessing the status of a system, such as the health of an individual, the balance in one's checking account, profits and losses of a business, the economic activity of a nation, or the size of an animal population. Monitoring is especially vital for evalu…

The design of smart targeted drug delivery systems that deliver drugs to specific cancer cells will give rise to cancer treatments with better efficacy and lower toxicity levels. We report the development and characterizations of maleimide-functionalized biopolymer (Mal-PGA-Asp) as an effective targeted drug delivery…

A metamaterial structure, called the double-sided open split ring resonator (DOSRR), which combines two open split ring resonators (OSRRs) aligned over the opposite faces of the substrate in an inverted fashion is presented. A study of this resonator from full-wave electromagnetic and circuit simulations is performed.…

In this report, we investigate the influence of temperature on the two-photon absorption (2PA) spectrum of all-trans-β-carotene using the femtosecond white-light-continuum Z-scan technique. We observed that the 2PA cross-section decreases quadratically with the temperature. Such effect was modeled using a three-energy…

We propose a full-chip synthesis methodology to construct custom network-on-chips (CusNoCs) for NoC-based systems. The proposed scheme generates irregular network topologies for application-specific designs with known communication demands. In this method, processors and the communication architecture can be synthesiz…

We report results from an experimental and theoretical study of the ternary alloy Ti-6Al-4V to 221 GPa. We observe a phase transition to the hexagonal $\ensuremath{\omega}$ phase at approximately 30 GPa, and then a further transition to the cubic $\ensuremath{\beta}$ phase starting at 94--99 GPa. We do not observe the…

A new mechanism of the oxygen evolving reaction catalyzed by [H(2)O(terpy)Mn(μ-O)(2)Mn(terpy)OH(2)](3+) is proposed by using density functional theory. This proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) model shows reasonable barriers. Because in experiments excess oxidants (OCl(-) or HSO(5)(-)) are required to evolve oxyge…

While matrix remodeling plays a key role in vascular physiology and pathology, the underlying mechanisms have remained incompletely understood. We studied the remodeling of collagen matrices by individual vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), clusters and monolayers. In addition, we focused on the contribution of trans…

The Fano-like resonance properties of the asymmetric dimer for gold nanowires (GNWs) with elliptical section have been investigated based on the 2-D finite element method (2D-FEM). It is found that the reduced symmetry in the GNWs dimer will cause a distinct Fano dip in the absorption spectrum, which arises from the c…

The association between RBD and synucleinopathies is well known. However, the association between RBD and other neuromuscular diseases has not been as well described. Our case study describes two siblings with familial ALS, confirmed by the identification of the L84F mutation in the SOD1 gene, and RDB. We hope this ca…
