Analysis of the genome sequence of the polyhydroxyalkanoate- (PHA) accumulating bacterium Ralstonia eutropha strain H16 revealed three homologues (PhaP2, PhaP3 and PhaP4) of the phasin protein PhaP1. PhaP1 is known to constitute the major component of the layer at the surface of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), poly(3HB), gra…
The solid solubility of R ions (R = Ho 3+ , Dy 3+ , and Y 3+ ) in the BaTiO 3 perovskite structure was studied by quantitative electron‐probe microanalysis (EPMA) using wavelength‐dispersive spectroscopy (WDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X‐ray diffractometry (XRD). Highly doped BaTiO 3 samples were prepar…
Polysialic acid (PSA) is a post-translational protein modification that is widely expressed among neural cell types during development. Found predominantly on the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), PSA becomes restricted to regions of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity in the adult. In the mammalian genome, two polys…
We show that the glass transition predicted by the Mode-Coupling Theory (MCT) is a critical phenomenon with a diverging length and time scale associated to the cooperativity of the dynamics. We obtain the scaling exponents ν and z that relate space and time scales to the distance from criticality, as well as the scali…
Abstract The developments on long-term protection of rubber against aerobic aging are reviewed. Although conventional antidegradants such as N-isopropyl-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (IPPD) and N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) are still the most widely used antidegradants in rubber, there is a…
Structural refinements of single crystal X-ray diffraction data for synthetic (Sb,Bi) 2 S 3 solid solutions revealed structural variations in the stibnite (Sb 2 S 3 )-bismuthinite (Bi 2 S 3 ) series. Coordination environments of the M cations are (3 + 4)-fold for the M1 site and (5 + 2)-fold for the M2 site. For the M…
We present first-principles density-functional calculations and downfolding studies of the electronic and magnetic properties of the layered quantum spin system TiOCl. We discuss explicitly the nature of the exchange paths and the concept of orbital ordering in this material. An analysis of the electronic structure of…
We present an efficient scheme for representing many-body wavefunctions in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations. The scheme is based on B-splines (blip functions), which consist of localized cubic splines centred on the points of a regular grid. We show that blip functions are unbiased, systematically improvable, an…
We have used diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations to study the pressure-induced phase transition from the diamond to $β$-tin structure in silicon. The calculations employ the pseudopotential technique and systematically improvable B-spline basis sets. We show that in order to achieve a precision of 1 GPa i…
This paper is an attempt to analyse most of the complicated mechanisms involved in charging and discharging of insulators investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fundamental concepts on the secondary electron emission (SEE) yield from insulators combined with electrostatics arguments permit to reconsider,…
Au nanoparticle-amplified surface plasmon resonance (PA-SPR), like traditional SPR, is typically used to detect binding events at a thin noble metal film. Here we describe the use of SiO 2 -overcoated Au films as a substrate for PA-SPR. Changes in SPR angle shift upon Au nanosphere binding were investigated as a funct…
This paper presents a comparative study of three modeling methodologies for predicting the breaking elongation of ring spun cotton yarns. Constituent cotton fiber properties and yarn count are used as inputs to these models. The predictive powers of the three different models—mathematical, statistical, and artificial…
A novel method has been developed for the fabrication of silicon nitride reticulated porous ceramics (RPCs) with regulated structure, using polyurethane sponge as the template. This technique includes two centrifuging steps. In the first stage, the polyurethane sponges are coated with thin slurry through high‐speed ce…
In this paper, we present a new vector hysteresis model, which is derived from the original Jiles-Atherton scalar one. The model presents the magnetic vector induction as the independent variable. A modified Langevin equation is used to represent the anhysteretic vector magnetization, and some model aspects are discus…
Surface coal mining and reclamation methods in the Appalachians have changed dramatically since the passage of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) of 1977 and subsequent improvements in mining and reclamation technology. In this study, 30 pre‐SMCRA mine soil profiles (4–20 yr old) were examined and…
Segmented polyether−polyurethane (PU)/montmorillonite nanocomposites have been synthesized with poly(tetramethylene glycol), 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, propylenediamine, and montmorillonite. The nanoscale silicate layers are intercalated or exfoliated in the PU matrix, which are characterized by X-ray diffracti…
We propose a model with frequency-dependent lumped parameters to represent the behavior of laminated iron-core inductors that are used in switching converters, i.e., for excitation frequencies above several kilohertz. The model applies to laminated iron cores with air gaps. We show that the core parameters can be calc…
Growth front morphology of a thin film formed by physical vapor deposition is controlled by many factors including surface diffusion and shadowing effects. Instabilities can occur if shadowing is more dominant compared to other surface effects and can lead to many diverse physically self-assembled three-dimensional na…
Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) ferritic steel incorporating nanoscale oxide particles was produced by mechanical alloying, and the complex oxide particles, comprised of titanium and yttrium, characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and characteristic X-ray nano-analyses. The inter…
Spherical magnetite nanoparticles having average particle size <d> = 5 nm have been synthesized by coprecipitation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) salts in KOH with Polyvinylalcohol (PVA). The resulting dry powder displayed superparamgnetic (SPM) behaviour at room temperature, with a transition to a blocked state at TB ~ 45 K f…
