The reaction of low-energy electrons (LEEs; 10 eV) with 5'-TpXpT-3' (TXT), where X is uracil (U), thymine (T), and 5-bromouracil (5BrU), was examined by HPLC-UV analysis. The presence of 5BrU increased total damage by >50%. The radiation products of T5BrUT included TUT (40%), free U, T, 5BrU (23%), and fragments (13%)…
This work describes a Mulliken-type partitioning of the expectation value of the spin-squared operator <Ŝ(2)> corresponding to an N-electron system. Our algorithms, which are based on a spin-free formulation, predict appropriate spins for the molecular fragments (at equilibrium geometries and at dissociation limits) a…
We review the details of domain wall (DW) propagation due to spin-polarized currents that could potentially be used in magnetic data storage devices based on domains and DWs. We discuss briefly the basics of the underlying spin torque effect and show how the two torques arising from the interaction between the spin-po…
Tunable multi-chamber microfluidic membrane microlenses with achromaticity over a given focal length range are demonstrated. In analogy to a fixed-focus achromatic doublet lens, the multi-lens system is based on a stack of microfluidic cavities filled with optically optimized liquids with precisely defined refractive…
Abstract Nanorod covered polyaniline (PANI) tubes with rectangular cross section are synthesized via a chemical oxidation polymerization method and then utilized as an electrorheological (ER) material by dispersion in silicone oil, resulting in 10 vol% particle concentration. These PANI tubes are chosen based on the f…
The fractional quantum Hall effect has been predicted to occur in the absence of magnetic fields and at high temperature in lattice systems that have flat bands with a nonzero Chern number. We demonstrate that orbital degrees of freedom in frustrated lattice systems lead to a narrowing of topologically nontrivial band…
A portable and compact photolithography system based on a solid-state light source of UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is described. Solid-state photolithography can achieve high-quality patterns over a wide range of length scales at a fraction of the cost of contact mask aligners. 2D nanoscale and 1D microscale patter…
Nanogel star polymers are developed as a new route for the formation of dual-mode nanoparticle systems for applications in the areas of synergistic therapeutic delivery, imaged therapeutic delivery, and dual-mode bioimaging agents. These extremely uniform, structurally versatile, water-soluble, unimolecular organic na…
Komplex im Komplex: Zwei kovalent verknüpfte, gebogene Bispyridinyl-Liganden und PdII-Ionen aggregieren zu einem konzentrischen Komplex (6.3 nm Durchmesser; siehe Struktur), der an ein zweischaliges Viruskapsid erinnert. Dabei werden keine heteroleptischen Komplexe gebildet, sondern es entstehen zwei homogene [M12L24]…
Heavy-ion irradiation of crystalline germanium (c-Ge) results in the formation of a homogeneous amorphous germanium (a-Ge) layer at the surface. This a-Ge layer undergoes structural modification such as a strong volume expansion accompanied by drastic surface blackening with further ion irradiation. In the present pap…
The microbial biosynthesis of free fatty acid, which can be used as precursors for the production of fuels or chemicals from renewable carbon sources, has attracted significant attention in recent years. Free fatty acids can be produced by introducing an acyl-carrier protein (ACP) thioesterase (TE) gene into Escherich…
The important role of processing conditions, phase separation, and device geometry on open circuit voltage, V oc, is examined for regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) solar cells with hexyl, octyl, dodecyl, and hexadecyl solubilizing side chains. Both bilayer and bulk heterojunction devices were investigated. In…
Despite the great potential of cell therapy for ischemic disease, poor cell survival after engraftment in ischemic tissue limits its efficacy. Here we tested a hypothesis that three-dimensionally grafted human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) spheroids would exhibit improved angiogenic efficacy following transp…
Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) catalyzes reversible conversion between glutamate and 2-oxoglutarate using NAD(P)(H) as a coenzyme. Although mammalian GDH is regulated by GTP through the antenna domain, little is known about the mechanism of allosteric activation by leucine. An extremely thermophilic bacterium, Thermus…
BACKGROUND: The deposition of collagen fibrils in the myocardial extracellular matrix increases with age and plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF). We sought to determine the predictive value of serum markers of collagen turnover for incident HF and cardiovascular (CV) morbidity, mortality, and…
Herein we report our recent efforts in employing natural materials and synthetic derivatives of natural molecules for organic field effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). We evaluated dyes from the following chemical families: acridones, anthraquinones, carotenoids, and indigoids. These materials…
Drops placed on very hot solids levitate on a cushion of their own vapor, as discovered by Leidenfrost. This confers to these drops a remarkable mobility, which makes problematic their control and manipulation. Here we show how crenelated surfaces can be used to increase the friction of Leidenfrost drops by a factor o…
A series of tetracationic M(2)L(4) palladium-pyridyl complexes with endohedral amine functionality have been synthesized. The complexes were analyzed by NMR techniques (including Diffusion NMR and 2D NOESY), electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. The solid state analysis shows a la…
Abstract Fabrication of a chemiresistive biosensor for detection of biomolecules is demonstrated on a high surface area, flexible electro‐spun nylon fiber mat. For the first time, the –OH functionalized conducting copolymer of 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and 3‐thiopheneethanol (3‐TE) is synthesized and conformal…
A brief review of field- and recently developed current-driven domain-wall motion in a ferromagnetic nanowire is presented from a theoretical point of view. In the first part, the wall motion driven by an external magnetic field is studied on the basis of the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation and the collective coordin…
