6F-Polyimides with a phenylethynyl endcap (HFPE) were fabricated into carbon fiber composites using the standard polymerization of monomer reactant (PMR) approach via the ester/acid route. T650-35/HFPE carbon fiber composites were evaluated against the corresponding T650-35/PMR-II-50 composites with nadic endcap at 31…

Strong blue emission is observed from Ti-doped MgAl 2 O 4 , yellow emission from a Mn-doped one and white light emission from a V-doped one. The optimum condition to obtain the strongest emission was studied by changing the doping density and growing atmosphere. The microscopic models for these emission processes are…

We have developed a new formulation of the coupled-wave method (CWM) to handle aperiodic lamellar structures, and it will be referred to as the aperiodic coupled-wave method (ACWM). The space is still divided into three regions, but the fields are written by use of their Fourier integrals instead of the Fourier series…

Abstract Polypropylene homopolymer melts containing up to 50 percent by weight of talc filler (24 vol%) were tested on a Gottfert Rheotens melt strength testing unit. Melt strength and drawability parameters were measured from these tests to evaluate changes in the extensional behavior of the melt induced by filler ad…

AISI type 304L stainless steel (SS) was assessed for its corrosion resistance in nitric acid solution. The effect of variation in nitric acid concentration (1 to 10N) and temperature (298 K, 313 K, 333 K, 348 K) on the corrosion resistance of 304L SS was investigated using potentiodynamic polarisation studies. The cor…

Both lighter- and hydrophobic heavier-than-liquid particles will float on liquid–air surfaces. Capillary forces cause the particles to cluster in typical situations identified here. This kind of clustering causes particles to segregate into islands and bands of high concentrations in thin liquid films rimming the insi…

Tensile strength and creep behavior of a two‐dimensional (2D) laminate carbon–carbon composite (C/C) were examined from room temperature to 2773 K in an inert atmosphere. The tensile strength of the C/C was monotonically enhanced with increasing test temperatures. In particular, significant improvement was observed at…

This paper compares the processability, mechanical properties, and water absorption behavior of polypropylene (PP) composites filled with white rice husk ash (WRHA) and silica. It is shown that preparation of WRHA filled composites requires less energy than silica filled composites. WRHA-PP composites exhibit better i…

Protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) catalyzes the addition of a farnesyl chain onto the sulfur of a C-terminal cysteine of a protein substrate. Magnesium ions enhance farnesylation catalyzed by FTase by several hundred-fold, with a KMg value of 4 mM. The magnesium ion is proposed to coordinate the diphosphate leaving…

This work presents a new method for the fabrication of buried microchannels, covered with porous silicon (PS). The specific method is a two-step electrochemical process, which combines PS formation and electropolishing. In a first step a PS layer with a specific depth is created at a predefined area and in the followi…

Over time and under stressing conditions proteins are susceptible to a variety of spontaneous covalent modifications. One of the more commonly occurring types of protein damage is deamidation; the conversion of asparagines into aspartyls and isoaspartyls. The physiological significance of isoaspartyl formation is emph…

New chiral liquid crystalline materials containing a keto group and two lactate units attached to the mesogenic core have been synthesized and studied. All the new compounds show the paraelectric SmA, ferroelectric SmC* and antiferroelectric SmC*A phases each over rather broad temperature ranges. The properties of the…

A synthesis method to prepare a fully grafted polydiphenylamine (PDPA) with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) through a “graft onto” process is reported. Three graft copolymers, PDPA- g -PEO-350, PDPA- g -PEO-750, and PDPA- g -PEO-2000, were obtained by substituting the tosyloyl end group of tosylate PEO with an amine-functi…

We investigated the induced ferromagnetism by the co-doping of Li in ZnO:Cr. For this study, we fabricated ZnO:Cr and Li co-doped ZnO:Cr by the sol-gel method. While the ZnO:Cr thin film showed no ferromagnetic behavior, we observed a clear magnetic hysteresis loop in the Li co-doped ZnO:Cr thin film above 350 K. In o…

The design of a double-negative metamaterial loaded microstrip transmission line (DNG MTM-TL) to tailor the propagation characteristics at S- and C-band frequencies is presented. Guided-wave propagation along this DNG MTM-TL was studied numerically. The scattering parameters of the DNG MTM-TL were obtained with Ansoft…

We will give a proof of the Gap Labeling Conjecture formulated by Bellissard, [3]. It makes use of a version of Connes ’ index theorem for foliations which is appropriate for foliated spaces, [11]. These arise naturally in dynamics and are likely to have further applications.
