BACKGROUND: Alendronate (ALD) is a member of the bisphosphonate family which is used for the treatment of osteoporosis, bone metastasis, Paget's disease, hypocalcaemia associated with malignancy and other conditions that feature bone fragility. ALD is a non-chromophoric compound so its determination by conventional sp…
Cation-condensed microgel-core star polymers with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based arms were designed as unimolecular polycationic nanocapsules (hosts) to encapsulate and stimuli-responsively release hydrophilic and anionic dyes (guests) in water. Typically, a cation-condensed star polymer (core cations: ∼670/star) w…
Copolymerization of acrylates, such as methyl acrylates (MAs) and trifluoroethyl acrylates (TFEAs), and 6-methyleneundecane (6MU), under organotellurium-mediated living radical polymerization (TERP) conditions, was investigated. Structurally well-controlled copolymers, poly(MA- co -6MU) and poly(TFEA- co -6MU), with p…
It was reported that next to style, comfort is the second key aspect in purchasing footwear. One of the most important components of footwear is the shoe sole, whose design is based on many factors such as foot shape/size, perceived comfort and materials. The present paper focuses on the parametric analysis of a shoe…
Syntheses, structures, and properties of univalent coinage metal 2-methylimidazolate supramolecular isomers [M(mim)] (1, M = Cu; 2, M = Ag) were investigated in detail. In addition to the known isomers, namely, zigzag chains [Cu(mim)] (1a) and [Ag(mim)] (2a), molecular octagon [Cu(8)(mim)(8)]·C(6)H(6) (1b), decagon [C…
There is an increasing demand for ultrahigh-strength steel in automotive industries to facilitate the manufacture of lightweight vehicles without compromising their security features. Although transformation-induced plasticity and dual phase steels have strengths of under 1 GPa, boron-alloyed steel obtained after the…
Organic binders as alternatives to bentonite in iron ore pelletisation have found limited application since they fail to give enough mechanical strength to preheated and fired pellets. This paper describes the use of alternative binders to bentonite for haematite ore pelletisation. Organic binders (carboxyl methyl cel…
Carbohydrate moieties are important components of natural products, which are often imperative for the solubility and biological activity of the compounds. The aromatic polyketide alnumycin A contains an extraordinary sugar-like 4'-hydroxy-5'-hydroxymethyl-2',7'-dioxane moiety attached via a carbon-carbon bond to the…
Films of the fullerene derivatives [6,6]-phenyl-C(61)-butyric acid methyl ester (PC(61) BM) and [6,6]-phenyl-C(71)-butyric acid methyl ester (PC(71) BM) are patterned on silicon nitride membranes using photolithography to study, with X-ray spectromicroscopy, the lateral, solid-state diffusion of fullerene derivatives…
We report a M\"ossbauer spectroscopic study of cementite (Fe${}_{3}$C) in a diamond anvil cell up to 88 GPa. The hyperfine parameters reveal a two-stage loss of magnetism in Fe${}_{3}$C: a ferro-to-paramagnetic transition around 8--10 GPa and a spin transition at about 22 GPa. Full structural refinement based on singl…
The ultrafast metal-gate silicon quantum-dot (Si-QD) nonvolatile memory (NVM) with program/erase speed of 1 μs under low operating voltages of ± 7 V is achieved by thin tunneling oxide, in situ Si-QD-embedded dielectrics, and metal gate. Selective source/drain activation by green nanosecond laser spike annealing, due…
During the metal organic vapor phase epitaxy of GaN microcolumns, both nitrogen- and gallium-polar GaN in the same structures could be detected on patterned SiO x /sapphire templates. To clarify its origin, the spatial distribution of surface polarity has been analyzed by both Kelvin probe force microscopy and selecti…
The conduction mechanisms and nature of the filament formed in the low resistive state of TiN/HfO2/TiN resistive random access memories are studied from the temperature-dependence of their current-voltage characteristics. These characteristics are analyzed using the percolation theory of conductor networks, allowing u…
The effects of surfactants on the dynamics and characteristics of plain and composite electroless nickel plating (ENP) are highlighted and discussed herein. An outline of the rudiments of surfactants and some underlying selection criteria is presented at the outset, before emphasis is laid on the salient benefits of i…
Ultrafast excited state dynamics of dinaphthoporphycenes were investigated using femtosecond and picosecond degenerate pump-probe techniques at 600 nm and 800 nm, respectively. Femtosecond pump-probe data indicated photo-induced absorption at 600 nm resulting from two-photon/single photon excitation, whereas picosecon…
In this study, a real mallard anatomy is numerically created from CT images and then analysed by SPH method. The result produced by the real bird is compared to that of the traditional bird models. The effects of considering the cavities, air and different orientations at which a mallard strikes a target are also inve…
A new carbazole-based 90° dipyridyl donor 3,6-di(4-pyridylethynyl)carbazole (L) containing carbazole-ethynyl functionality is synthesized in reasonable yield using the Sonagashira coupling reaction. Multinuclear NMR, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), including single crystal X-ray diffraction analysi…
Particle size distribution and compactness have significant confounding effects on Raman signals of powder mixtures, which cannot be effectively modeled or corrected by traditional multivariate linear calibration methods such as partial least-squares (PLS), and therefore greatly deteriorate the predictive abilities of…
Several rare earth elements (Gd, Dy, and Ce) having different valence numbers were doped into a solution-synthesized ZrO2 film, and the corresponding resistive memory characteristics were discussed in relation to the oxygen vacancies and film microstructure. Pure and trivalent ion-doped ZrO2 films showed forming-free…
Two related methods to calculate the Kohn-Sham correlation energy within the framework of the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem are presented. The required coupling-strength-dependent density-density response functions are calculated within exact-exchange time-dependent density-functional theory, i.…
