Three bent-core nematic liquid crystals having the same core but with different terminal groups, short (C4) and long (C7,C9) tails, are investigated by dielectric and electro-optic contrast spectroscopic techniques. C4 shows sign reversal in the dielectric anisotropy $\ensuremath{\Delta}{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{\ensur…
Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) cell sheets have a potential use for in vivo wound healing due to the ability of HGFs to adopt a contractile phenotype which is typically expressed during extracellular matrix tissue remodeling. For this purpose, we developed a chemically detachable platform based on poly(allylamine h…
Two Bodipy-based chromophores have been synthesized, which bear two methoxyphenyl substituents in the 1,7 positions and either hydrogen (L1) or bromine (L2) atoms in the 2,6 positions, with the aim of testing their ability to sensitize the luminescence of near-infrared emitting LnIII ions. Despite the presence of the…
We report the evolution process of VO(2) thin films from the insulating phase to the metallic phase under current injection for the two-electrode-based thin-film devices. Based on electrical characterization and Raman microscopic detection, it was found that there exist two critical current densities, based on which t…
The molecular and intermolecular structure and energetic stability of nano-sized molecular clusters for two polymorphic forms of L-glutamic acid (L-GA) and two of D-mannitol (D–M) are assessed. Molecular modelling, using empirical force-fields and the atom-atom method, is applied to examine the relative stability of b…
The electronic and transport properties of Mg(2)Si are calculated using the density-functional and semi-classical Boltzmann transport theories. A detailed comparison of the efficiency of the Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof (PBE) and the modified Becke-Johnson (m-BJ) exchange potentials on the prediction of these properti…
Facilitated/modulated drug-delivery systems have emerged as a possible solution for delivery of drugs of interest to pre-allocated sites at predetermined doses for predefined periods of time. Over the past decade, the use of different physical methods and mechanisms to mediate drug release and delivery has grown signi…
Crystal structure of Ba${}_{2}$CoGe${}_{2}$O${}_{7}$ at room temperature (RT) and 90 K has been probed by single-crystal diffraction of x-ray synchrotron radiation. The space group (SG) found at both temperatures is well approximated by $P$-42${}_{1}m$, in agreement with expectation for melilite-like compounds. The re…
Abstract—In this paper, electromagnetic optimal design is carried out for dual-band radome wall with alternating layers of staggered composite and Kagome lattice structure. The novel wall structure provides broadband transmission capability, along with excellent thermal-elastic properties and mechanical performances f…
The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the effects of taurine and Au nanoparticles on the expression of genes related to embryonic muscle development and on the morphological characteristics of muscles. Fertilised chicken eggs (n = 160) were randomly divided into four groups: without injection (Con…
We explored the isothermal crystallization process of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by means of simultaneous measurements of time-resolved wide-angle X-ray diffraction (tr-WAXD) and small-angle X-ray scattering (tr-SAXS) methods. The tr-WAXD analyses involve not only (1) a precise analysis of the integral widths but also th…
Polysaccharide films containing chitosan, methylcellulose, and a mixture of these polysaccharides in various ratios were prepared and modified with meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin in an aqueous medium at pH 7. The modified films were compared with the initial films using spectroscopic methods and microscopic…
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes comprise a large family that plays key roles in amino acid metabolism and are acquiring an increasing interest as drug targets. For the identification of compounds inhibiting PLP-dependent enzymes, a chemogenomics-based approach has been adopted in this work. Chemogenomic…
We use Monte Carlo simulations and analytical arguments to analyze a frustrated Ising model with nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic coupling ${J}_{1}$ and next-nearest-neighbor coupling ${J}_{2}$. The model is inspired on the physics of pnictide superconductors and to some extent we argue that it can be more represent…
We report a virus-based biological template, M13 bacteriophage, for selecting single-walled carbon nanotubes’ (SWCNTs’) chirality, based on the premise that binding affinity between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and peptides are sensitive to amino acid sequences. Bacteriophage pIII capsid fusion peptides, which have high bi…
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has attracted great attention due to its high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of a variety of molecules. Recently, much effort has been focused on the development of novel nanostructured SERS substrate with reliable and excellent sensing performance. In this work,…
Plasma nanocoating of allylamine were deposited on the surfaces of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to provide desirable functionalities and thus to tailor the surface characteristics of MWCNTs for improved dispersion and interfacial adhesion in epoxy matrices. Plasma nanocoated MWCNTs were characterized using s…
Conductivity data of the xAgI(1 - x)AgPO(3) system (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) were collected in the liquid and glassy states. The difference in the dependence of ionic conductivity on temperature below and above their glass transition temperatures (T(g)) is interpreted by a discontinuity in the charge carrier's mobility mechanisms…
Recently, a density functional theory for hard particles with shape anisotropy was developed, the extended deconvolution fundamental measure theory (edFMT). We apply edFMT to hard dumbbells, arguably the simplest non-convex shape and readily available experimentally in the form of colloids. We obtain good agreement be…
Abstract We report a cyano‐bridged V–Nb bimetal assembly, K 0.59 V II 1.59 V III 0.41 [Nb IV (CN) 8 ] · (SO 4 ) 0.50 · 6.9H 2 O, exhibiting ferrimagnetism with a high Curie temperature ( T C ) of 210 K, which is the highest T C value among those of octacyano‐bridged bimetal assemblies. Such a high T C value originates…
