High quality Pr${}_{0.7}$Ca${}_{0.3}$MnO${}_{3}$/SrRuO${}_{3}$ superlattices were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition. The SrRuO${}_{3}$ layers grew either in orthorhombic or tetragonal symmetry depending on the thickness of the Pr${}_{0.7}$Ca${}_{0.3}$MnO${}_{3}$ layers. Since the Pr${}_{0.7}$Ca${}_{0.3}$MnO${}_{3}…
To explore the influencing effect of different transition metal ions on the coordination geometries and structural architectures of metal–organic complexes with the same ligand, 10 new coordination compounds of a monobranched tripodal ligand N -[ N ′-(carboxymethyl)benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl]- N, N -bis(benzimidazol-2-yl…
Binderless tungsten carbide ceramics were produced by reactive spark plasma sintering, using tungsten nitride and carbon black as starting materials. The phase and microstructure evolution during the sintering process was investigated. It was found that the tungsten nitride decomposed into nano tungsten with a particl…
BACKGROUND: In bioinformatics projects, scientific workflow systems are widely used to manage computational procedures. Full-featured workflow systems have been proposed to fulfil the demand for workflow management. However, such systems tend to be over-weighted for actual bioinformatics practices. We realize that qui…
Abstract The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new rhodium and ruthenium complexes with a porphyrin, possessing carboxylic groups in the arms of the porphyrin ring, is described. The complexes are completely soluble in water in the presence of a base (KOH or triethylamine). These phosphane‐free and air‐s…
Thorough investigations using Raman spectra of solid methane (CH${}_{4}$) were conducted using moissanite anvil cells in the range of 1$\ensuremath{-}$43 GPa at room temperature to identify high-pressure phases. Two interesting phases were uncovered, one with a narrow pressure range of 1 GPa centered at around 12.5 GP…
We examined the ability of a previously identified peroxidase deoxyribozyme to be employed as a catalyst in biofuel cells, as a possible replacement for oxidoreductase proteins. We constructed a biocathode using a covalently linked version of the peroxidase deoxyribozyme-hemin complex and successfully paired it with a…
The synthesis of amine functionalized TiO 2 -coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (NH 2 -TiO 2 -CNTs) using sol–gel method was investigated. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized with XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, BET test and SEM imaging. The results demonstrated a unique nanostructure with no destruction of the C…
Abstract Bisfuran‐s‐tetrazine (FTz) and its copolymers with cyclopenta[2,1‐b:3,4‐b′]dithiophene (CPDT) and benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b′]dithiophene (BDT) (PCPDTFTz and PBDTFTz) are prepared with the alternating s‐tetrazine and CPDT or BDT units bridged by a furan ring. Their optical and electrochemical properties are studied an…
Abstract By mapping atomistic trajectories accumulated in the course of long molecular dynamics simulations onto the tube model for model mono‐ and bidisperse polyethylene andcis‐1,‐4 andtrans‐1,4‐polybutadiene melts, we have computed contributions to chain dynamics in entangled polymers from pure reptation, contour l…
In this article, an analytical elastic-plastic solution for thick-walled cylinders made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) subjected to internal pressure and thermal loading is presented. Based on the experimental results, a mathematical model to predict the yielding through the thickness of FG AlA359/SiCp cylind…
The sensitivity of laser interferometers can be pushed into regimes that enable the direct observation of the quantum behaviour of mechanical oscillators. In the past, membranes with subwavelength thickness (thin films) have been proposed to be high-mechanical-quality, low-thermal-noise oscillators. Thin films from a…
Empty fruit bunches (EFB) from palm oil were characterized. The holocellulose (66.97%), α-cellulose (47.91%), and lignin (24.45%) are similar to wood materials, and various non-wood materials, but the fiber length is shorter (0.53 mm). The influence of operational variables in the EFB pulping [formic acid (75-95%), hy…
The Vector Vortex Coronagraph (VVC) is one of the most attractive new-generation coronagraphs for ground- and space-based exoplanet imaging/characterization instruments, as recently demonstrated on sky at Palomar and in the laboratory at JPL, and Hokkaido University. Manufacturing technologies for devices covering wav…
The newly synthesized dinuclear complex [Fe(III)(2)(μ-OH)(2)(bik)(4)](NO(3))(4) (1) (bik, bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)ketone) shows rather short Fe···Fe (3.0723(6) Å) and Fe-O distances (1.941(2)/1.949(2) Å) compared to other unsupported Fe(III)(2)(μ-OH)(2) complexes. The bridging hydroxide groups of 1 are strongly hydr…
DegP, a member of the HtrA family of proteins, conducts critical bacterial protein quality control by both chaperone and proteolysis activities. The regulatory mechanisms controlling these two distinct activities, however, are unknown. DegP activation is known to involve a unique mechanism of allosteric binding, confo…
We report our best laboratory contrast demonstrations achieved to date. We review the design, fabrication, performance, and future prospects of a hybrid focal plane occulter for exoplanet coronagraphy. Composed of thickness-profiled metallic and dielectric thin films vacuum deposited on a fused silica substrate, the h…
The mineralized structure of aligned collagen fibrils in a tilapia fish scale was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques after a thin sample was prepared using aqueous techniques. Electron diffraction and electron energy loss spectroscopy data indicated that a mineralized internal layer c…
For lightweight structural components, continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites have demonstrated success in aerospace and defence applications. Their mechanical behaviour is a result of the possible sliding and interactions between the fibres, but the complex deformation mechanisms of this sheet are a mai…
Although Fe${}_{2}$C and Fe${}_{2}$N are technologically important materials, the exact nature of the chemical bonding of C and N atoms and the related impact on the electronic properties are at present unclear. Here, results of first-principles electronic structure calculations for Fe${}_{2}$X (X $=$ C, N) phases are…
