Thioesters are more reactive than oxoesters, and thioester chemistry is important for the reaction mechanisms of many enzymes, including the members of the thiolase superfamily, which play roles in both degradative and biosynthetic pathways. In the reaction mechanism of the biosynthetic thiolase, the thioester moietie…

Abstract Simple blending of natural rubber/ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (NR/EPDM) generally results in inferior mechanical properties because of curative migration and their differences for filler affinity. In this work, the 70/30 and 50/50 NR/EPDM blends prepared by reactive processing techniques were investigated…

Certain transition metal oxides exhibit relatively large compositional changes in response to variations in the oxygen partial pressure. In thin film form, these composition changes can lead to stress because of the constraint imposed by the underlying substrate. To investigate these effects, polycrystalline titania (…

The formation of calcite in the mollusk shell prismatic layer requires the participation of various proteins. Recent studies indicate that the prismatic-associated protein superfamily, Asprich, is capable of in vitro stabilization of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), a precursor phase of prismatic calcite. To learn m…

Abstract Crystal‐based finite element methods (FEM) are versatile continuum approaches for predicting mechanical properties and deformation‐induced crystallographic textures. They can be applied to both, elastic–plastic and elastic problems. The methodology is based on (i) a detailed understanding of the underlying cr…

We report on a universal band gap modulation by radial deformation found for semiconductor single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The plausible radial deformation of an individual SWNT under hydrostatic pressure is predicted using the method developed in the previous work [M. Hasegawa and K. Nishidate, Phys. Rev. B 7…

Optical conductivity $G(\ensuremath{\omega})$ of graphene, which is famous for its universality close to the Dirac point, is determined from the visible to near-ultraviolet region by using reflection contrast spectroscopy. We find that the universality does not survive beyond the visible region. Instead, $G(\ensuremat…
