High-quality nano-sized Na(Co0.91Ni0.09)2O4 powders, i.e., 27 nm in average size, were synthesized by the solution combustion route. The magnitude of the electrical conductivity, the Seebeck coefficient, and the power factor for Na(Co0.91Ni0.09)2O4 depended strongly on the fuel used and followed the order of aspartic…
Molybdenum bismuth telluride thin films have been prepared on clean glass substrate using Arrested Precipitation Technique (APT) which is based on self organized growth process. As deposited MoBi2Te5 thin films were dried in constant temperature oven at 110 o C and further characterized for their optical, structural,…
The production of clavam metabolites has been studied previously in Streptomyces clavuligerus , a species that produces clavulanic acid as well as 4 other clavam compounds, but the late steps of the pathway leading to the specific end products are unclear. The present study compared the clavam biosynthetic gene cluste…
This paper (Part 2 of a two-part set of papers) discusses models and illustrates the adverse effects of weak layers, interlayers, laminations and/or weak interfaces in flexible and semi-flexible pavements, also incorporating lightly cemented layers. The modelling is based on mechanistic analyses for pavement design an…
The potential energy surfaces of elementary reactions of dissociative addition of one and two H 2 molecules to Cr-, Mo-, or W-doped aluminide clusters MAl12 in the states of different multiplicity have been calculated by the density functional theory method. The results are compared with the previous calculations of a…
Titania (TiO2) nanopowder was de-agglomerated in butyl acetate (BAc) via a bead milling process in the presence of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), and subsequently centrifuged to obtain the TiO2 nanoparticles dispersions with high transparency. The transparent TiO2 dispersions were further incorporated int…
In this study, copper oxide nano particles were synthesized by batchwise supercritical hydrothermal method. After preparation of CuO nano particles, they were immobilized into the porous matrix of sodium alginate. The drying process formed a very porous structure that is useful for enhancing of adsorption activity. Pr…
Mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSCs) have become of great interest for cell-based therapy owing to their roles in tissue repair and immune suppression. MSCs have the ability to differentiate into specialized tissues, including bone, cartilage and muscle, among several others. Furthermore, it has been found that MS…
The proposal of this research was to compare the optical and electrochromic properties of tungsten oxide (WO3) thin films deposited with a horizontal direct current (DC) and DC pulse magnetron sputtering. These WO3 thin films were deposited onto indium tin oxide (ITO) glass and p-type silicon substrate at different ga…
Recent investigations suggest that general grain boundaries can be categorized into two types: rough (atomically disordered) and faceted (atomically ordered). This paper reports our recent investigations on the migration behaviour of faceted boundaries and its effect on grain growth in polycrystalline ceramics. A mode…
It is shown that a surface plasmon, whose decay length infinitely increases as it approaches the threshold frequency, can propagate over the surface of a half-space filled with a uniaxial indefinite absorbing metamaterial. At the threshold frequency itself, a new phenomenon is observed-upon incidence of a TM-polarized…
A local curvature multi-vertex model was developed. This model is the straightforward two-dimensional topological network model based on the physical principles which are the curvatures of grain boundaries and the grain boundary tensions at triple junctions. The model was applied to the artificial random microstructur…
In this work, we present analytical solutions for the wave functions and energy dispersion of zigzag graphene nanoribbons. A nearest neighbor tight-binding model is employed to describe the electronic band structure of graphene nanoribbons. However, an exact analytical solution for the dispersion relation and the wave…
The paper presents the results of experimental investigations of friction-induced chemical modification of steel in the presence of serpentine additives in the lubricating material. This process is accompanied by substitution of magnesium atoms of the mineral structure by iron atoms from the friction surface. As a res…
Historically, transition of memory technologies has been enabled by not only disruptive new features of the memory technology but also new applications which proved the core value of those new features. As improvement of prevalent memory technologies is becoming more challenging, many resources have been devoted to de…
A novel and effective method was devised for synthesizing a vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) forest on a substrate using waste plastic obtained from commercially available water bottles. The advantages of the proposed method are the speed of processing and the use of waste as a raw material. A mechanism for th…
A reactive type dripping agent, glycerol monolauric acid monoitaconic acid diester (GLID) was synthesized in our laboratory. Grafting-copolymerization of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) with GLID was carried out by using β-ray irradiation in air in a twin-screw extruder. FT-IR was used to characterize the form…
The transport properties of a number of MgB2strands have been investigated in terms of their response to strand design, starting B powder choice, and the approach to C doping used. The strands had the following various designs: 1) several chemical barriers were introduced, i.e., Fe and Nb; 2) the strands were encased…
Abstract We investigated the formation of a new lecithin organogel composed of reverse worm-like micelles. The organogel is a mixed organic solution containing lecithin and vitamin C (i.e., ascorbic acid). The highly viscoelastic reverse worm-like micelles were formed upon addition of a small amount of ascorbic acid.
The equilibrium study on reactive extraction of picolinic acid by six different extractants (phosphoric and aminic) dissolved in two different diluents (benzene and decane-1-ol) is carried out to evaluate the performance of extractants and diluents. The extraction ability in terms of the distribution coefficient (K D)…
