A systematic characterization of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) material after successive purification steps, including reflux treatment with nitric acid, air oxidation, and annealing, has been performed. Inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy shows that a considerable reduction of the metal imp…
Fractionated extracts of persimmon (Diospyros kaki) peels were studied for cytotoxic activity, multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal activity, anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) activity and anti-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) activity. The potent cytotoxic activity against human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells…
Nanostructured CeO2 films are produced by anodic electrodeposition onto a variety of substrates. The crystal structure and oxidation state of the films are studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Calculations from XRD show that crystallite sizes of the electrodeposi…
The stability of cationic gold clusters doped with one transition metal atom was investigated by a mass spectrometric analysis of fragments resulting from high fluence irradiation of a cluster beam. Strongly enhanced abundances are found for Au 5 X + , X = V, Mn, Cr, Fe, Co, Zn, which implies that these species are fa…
Mullite (Mul) formation after high-T muscovite (Ms) breakdown has been studied in phyllosilicaterich bricks. At T ≥ 900 °C Ms dehydroxylation is followed by partial melting that triggers the nucleation and growth of Mul acicular crystals. An analytical electron microscopy study reveals that the Mul is a 3:2-type with…
OBJECTIVE: Few weight loss supplements are clinically tested for efficacy, yet their proliferation continues. Chitosan-based supplements are sold as fat trappers and fat magnets. They purportedly block fat absorption and cause weight loss without food restriction. We quantified the in vivo effect of a chitosan product…
Shikimate dehydrogenase catalyzes the fourth step of the shikimate pathway, the essential route for the biosynthesis of aromatic compounds in plants and microorganisms. Absent in metazoans, this pathway is an attractive target for nontoxic herbicides and drugs. Escherichia coli expresses two shikimate dehydrogenase pa…

Turbidity measurements performed at 450 nm were used to follow the process of simple coacervation when 1% (w/v) aqueous alkali processed gelatin (type-B) solutions were titrated with methanol, ethanol, propanol, and tert-butyl alcohol at various pHs of the solution ranging from pH = 5 to 8 and ionic strengths varying…
Rietveld refinements using neutron powder diffraction data were used to locate H atom positions and obtain a more precise crystal structure refinement for akaganéite [Fe 3+ 7.6 Ni 2+ 0.4 O 6.35 (OH) 9.65 Cl 1.25 ·nH 2 O]. Difference Fourier maps clearly showed H atoms positions near those O atoms at the midpoints of t…
Cellular material (emulsions, foams) made out of two different phases, one dispersed in another, may coarsen with time through coalescence, which is the rupture of the thin liquid film that separates two adjacent droplets or bubbles. In this Letter, we study destruction through coalescence of a model cellular material…
The synthesis and characterization of a group of new dendrimers-namely, nanoparticle-cored dendrimers (NCDs)-are described. These materials were obtained by the reduction of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate phase-transferred into toluene in the presence of Fréchet-type polyaryl ether dendritic disulfide wedges of generation…
A porous burner in which a premixed flame is stabilized within the solid matrix is a promising technology for various applications due to its low emissions. In this article, experimental measurements of flame stabilization, operating range, and emissions are reported for several porous burners. The burner consisted of…
Ultrathin films of chiral polyelectrolyte complex, prepared by the multilayering process, exhibit selectivity in the membrane separations of optically active compounds, such as l- and d-ascorbic acid. The flux through these polyelectrolyte multilayers, PEMUs, is exceptionally high and may be controlled by the concentr…
Abstract The dispersion of carbon black ( CB ) in an immiscible polymer blend of poly‐(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polypropylene (PP) was studied as the viscosity of PMMA increased. It was found that the dispersion of carbon black was strongly influenced by the viscosity of PMMA. The CB was dispersed in the PMMA p…
Many attempts have been made to achieve good selectivity to targeted tumor cells by preparing specialized carrier agents that are therapeutically profitable for anticancer therapy. Among these, liposomes are the most studied colloidal particles thus far applied in medicine and in particular in antitumor therapy. Altho…
Nucleation of one polymorph by another has been observed directly in the melt crystallization of d-mannitol and d-sorbitol. The new polymorph nucleated on an existing one and grew to dominate the end product. This effect is relevant to controlling polymorphism in the manufacture of specialty chemicals and to developin…
In this paper, we demonstrate that a protein from Bacillus subtilis (YqjM) shares many characteristic biochemical properties with the homologous yeast Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE); the enzyme binds FMN tightly but noncovalently, preferentially uses NADPH as a source of reducing equivalents, and forms charge transfer comple…
The effect of low-temperature annealing on (Ga,Mn)As/GaAs/(Ga,Mn)As trilayer structures is studied. Low-temperature annealing significantly increases the ferromagnetic transition temperature TC of top (Ga,Mn)As layers, reaching as high as 160 K, whereas no apparent effect is observed on bottom (Ga,Mn)As layers. The an…
Abstract Crystals of three Pb oxide phosphates, Pb 4 O(PO 4 ) 2 , Pb 8 O 5 (PO 4 ) 2 and Pb 10 (PO 4 ) 6 O, were synthesized from mixtures of PbO and NH 4 H 2 PO 4 heated to 950 °C. The crystal structure of Pb 4 O(PO 4 ) 2 (monoclinic, P 2 1 / c , a = 9.4894(8), b = 7.1402(6), c = 14.4077(13) Å, β = 104.549(2)°, V = 9…
