Two-dimensional (2D) functions with wallpaper group symmetry can be written as Fourier series displaying both translational and point-group symmetry. We elaborate the symmetry-adapted Fourier series for each of the 17 wallpaper groups. The symmetry manifests itself through constraints on and relations between the Four…

Mucoadhesive polymers have gained much attention due to the possibility to overcome physiological barriers in long-term drug delivery. Chitosan is a biocompatible and non-toxic chitin derivative, which due to its mucoadhesive properties enables to obtain prolonged drug delivery. The aim of this study was to formulate…

We focus on the description of a complex mechanism whereby the graphene electronic properties vary in the case of graphene hydrogenation as periodic graphene/graphane structures are formed. Two nonmonotonic dependences of the band gap on the hydrogen concentration and on the arrangement of adsorbed hydrogen atoms on t…

We have synthesized two iron-pnictide/chalcogenide materials, CuFeTe 2 and Fe 2 As, which share crystallographic features with known iron-based superconductors, and carried out high pressure electrical resistivity measurements on these materials to pressures in excess of 30 GPa. Both compounds crystallize in the Cu 2…

Beneath the sheets: (31) P NMR data suggests that phosphates are liberated freely in the interlayer of a cobalt-hydroxide water-oxidation catalyst. The cobalt-hydroxide sheets are separated by an interlayer region with water, counterions and phosphate, which help to shuttle protons as the layer develops charge.

We present a theory of the Josephson effect in a twofold-tilted Josephson junction made by $d$-wave anisotropic layered superconductors. We find the appearance of an intrinsic electrical resistance that arises from the misalignment of the superconductive planes (the CuO${}_{2}$ planes in YBCO) in the two electrodes. T…

The branched-chain amino-acid aminotransferase from Streptococcus mutans (SmIlvE) was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli with high yield. An effective purification protocol was established. A bioactivity assay indicated that SmIlvE had aminotransferase activity. The specific activity of SmIlvE towards amino-a…

In this paper, a novel signal processing circuit which can be used for the measurement of H(+) ion and urea concentration is presented. A potentiometric method is used to detect the concentrations of H(+) ions and urea by using H(+) ion-selective electrodes and urea electrodes, respectively. The experimental data show…

Objective Nonionic iodinated contrast agents (CAs) can be divided into monomeric, low-osmolar, and dimeric, iso-osmolar classes. In clinical practice, renal tolerance of CAs is a concern, especially in patients with impaired renal function. With regard to renal safety, we wanted to evaluate the role of osmolality and…

Abstract “Ratcheting” is a phenomenon which leads to reduction in fatigue life of a structural component by loss of ductility due to cycle by cycle accumulation of plastic strain. Ratcheting occurs in a structure subjected to a combination of steady/sustained and cyclic loads such that the material response is in inel…

H(2)O@C(60) derivatives covalently linked to a nitroxide radical were synthesized. The (1)H NMR of the guest H(2)O revealed the formation of many isomers with broad signals. Reduction to the diamagnetic hydroxylamines sharpened the (1)H NMR signals considerably and allowed for an "isomer count" based on the number of…

SiC thin film has been synthesized by using conventional 13.56MHz radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). The mixture of silane (SiH4) and methane (CH4) were used as precursor gases while hydrogen as carrier gas. The SiH4/CH4 ratio and the substrate temperature have been varied in order to…
