Poly(beta-hydroxybutyrate) or PHB is an important member of the family of polyhydroxyalkanoates with properties that make it potentially competitive with synthetic polymers. In addition, PHB is biodegradable. While the biochemistry of PHB synthesis by microorganisms is well known, improvement of large-scale productivi…
A solution obtained by dissolving MoO3 in a moderate excess of H2O2 reacts with 8-quinolinol (QOH) to give [MoO(O2)(QO)2] (1), but, when the same reaction is conducted with a large excess of H2O2, an anionic complex is formed, which reacts with PPh4Cl to give the corresponding salt [MoO(O2)2(QO)][PPh4] (2·PPh4). Fresh…
A Ag/TiO2 nanocomposite, in which silver nanoparticles are highly dispersed in the uniformly sized pores of a cubic mesoporous TiO2 molecular-sieve film, has been fabricated.
The trend towards increasing heat flux at the chip and module level in computers is continuing. This trend coupled with the desire to increase performance by reducing chip operating temperatures presents a further challenge to thermal engineers. This paper will provide an assessment of the potential for module cooling…
Several structural families reported in this book can be described by using concepts of modular crystallography (Thompson 1978; Veblen 1991; Merlino 1997; Ferraris et al. 2004). This chapter presents three groups of microporous minerals emphasizing the modular aspects of their crystal structures and the role that modu…
High-resolution $4{f}^{n\ensuremath{-}1}5d\ensuremath{\rightarrow}4{f}^{n}$ emission spectra in the (vacuum) ultraviolet are reported for ${\mathrm{Ce}}^{3+}$, ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$, ${\mathrm{Nd}}^{3+}$, ${\mathrm{Er}}^{3+}$, and ${\mathrm{Tm}}^{3+}$ in $\mathrm{Li}\mathrm{Y}{\mathrm{F}}_{4}$ and $\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{P}…
A new triphenylamine-containing aromatic dicarboxylic acid monomer, N,N-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)-N′,N′-diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (2), was synthesized from the amination reaction between 4-aminotriphenylamine and 4-fluorobenzonitrile and subsequent alkaline hydrolysis of the dinitrile intermediate. A series of novel ar…
Microstructures and hydrogen permeability (Φ) of as-cast Nb-Ti-Ni alloys have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and by the gas permeation technique, respectively. The Φ value increases with increasing temperature and the amount of the Nb content for every alloy. In these alloys, the Nb39Ti31Ni30…
The functionalisation of a Si(100) silicon wafer allows for the oriented grafting of a monolayer of Mn12 nanomagnets using a two-step procedure.
Mesostructured Ni and Co particles are formed by metal deposition in the aqueous domains of lyotropic liquid crystals (LLC) using different reducing agents. We have investigated the role of reducing agents in metal deposition for the synthesis of highly-ordered mesoporous metals by electroless deposition. Slow metal d…
Nanoparticle phosphors made of lanthanide oxides are a promising new class of tags in biochemistry because of their large Stokes shift, sharp emission spectra, long luminescence lifetime, and good photostability. We demonstrate the application of these nanoparticles to the visualization of protein micropatterns. Lumin…
From 3 to 6 November 2002, a colloquium was convened at the Benthos Laboratory of the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn on Ischia, Italy, with the goal of evaluating the present status of the effects of diatoms on their main consumers, planktonic copepods, and to develop future research strategies to enhance our understa…
This paper demonstrates optical gain at 1.5 /spl mu/m in Si-nanocrystal-sensitized, Er-doped silica waveguide using a commercial, low-cost 470 nm LED in top-pumping configuration. Experimental evidence of full inversion with maximum possible gain of 3 dB/cm is presented. Possible application of Si-nanocrystal-sensitiz…
The novel hydroxyquinoline-containing tetrapodal ligand forms water soluble and stable chelates and is a good sensitizer of the NIR luminescence of its Nd(III) and Yb(III) complexes; its easy synthesis opens the way for potential biomedical applications.
The primary focus of this paper is on the establishment of reliable methods for the determination of the mechanism and kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at solid oxide fuel cell cathodes consisting of lanthanum strontium manganite in a 50 vol % mixture with yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolyte (LSM-YSZ…
Glow peaks of PbWO4 below 110 K are intense and may arise from unspecified intrinsic defects whereas those above 154 K may be related to oxygen sites. TL emission spectra of as-grown PWO are considered to arise from the WO3 associated with oxygen vacancies and those of annealed PWO may be from the WO42– complex intera…
Decomposition of calcium carbonate in the temperature range 1180–1353 K was investigated by employing a thermogravimetric analysis system, an X-ray diffractometer, a scanning electron microscope and a surface area analyzer. Experimental results indicated that calcium carbonate decomposed almost completely in 210 s und…
Zinc electrodeposits are widely used to protect iron \nand steel from corrosion. Zinc coatings are presently \nobtained from chloride, sulfate, mixed chloride and \nsulfate, cyanide and non-cyanide alkaline baths. \nAtmospheric corrosion is associated with the use \nof chloride electrolytes. The us…
Ultrasonic attenuation coefficients are calculated due to phonon-phonon interaction and thermoelastic mechanism in Ni-Pd alloys at 100-500 K along 100 direction.Second and third order elastic constants (SOEC and TOEC), Grüneisen numbers and ultrasonic velocities are also calculated.The ultrasonic attenuation is determ…
Sulfur levels in both gasoline and disel fuels are being restricted because of environmental pollution concerns throughout the world. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has mandated the levels of sulfur which may be allowed in most road and off-road vehicles. Although there are many standard test methods availab…
