X-ray radiation plays an important role in medical procedures ranging from diagnostics to therapeutics. Due to the harm such ionizing radiation can cause, it has become common practice to closely monitor the dosages received by patients. To this end, precise online dosimeters have been developed with the dual objectiv…

The thermal degradation of three Mediterranean forest fuels was studied by using thermogravimetric analysis. The different behaviours were compared and the degradation characteristics were determined for each fuel. Then a kinetic study was performed. Simple modelling of the thermal degradation was carried out with a g…

This paper reports an experimental and computational study on the energetics of 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one. The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpy of formation of solid 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one, at T = 298.15 K, was derived from its standard massic energy of combustion measured by static bomb combustion calo…

We demonstrate a phase transfer method to create stable colloidal solutions of Au nanoparticles with 4-methoxypyridine ligands. We then investigate the adsorption behavior of 4-methoxypyridine onto gold surfaces by Raman spectroscopy, DFT calculations, and (1)H NMR. In contrast to unsubstituted pyridine and the freque…

Abstract Kochia sieversiana (Pall.) C. A. Mey is a forage plant in the family Chenopodiaceae, which can grow in extremely alkalinized grasslands at pH levels of 10 or higher. Kochia sieversiana often contains a large amount of oxalic acid. In the present study, seedlings of K. sieversiana were exposed to the following…

Abstract Bacteria adhesion on implant surfaces is the major reason for local and systemic infections after implantation. In order to establish an anti‐adhesion material, we constructed self‐assembly nanostructured surfaces by wetting of poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) films in ethyl acetate followed by a next ste…

We undertake an exact numerical study of the effects of disorder on the Anderson localization of electronic states in graphene. Analyzing the scaling behaviors of inverse participation ratio and geometrically averaged density of states, we find that the Anderson metal-insulator transition can be introduced by the pres…

The excitation of sound vibrations of a cylindrical fine fiber due to the impact of a spherical aerosol particle is investigated. The equations describing the dynamics of impact are derived for an arbitrary shooting parameter. The coefficient of restitution is calculated, and its analytical approximation is obtained.…

Accurate measurement of electromagnetic and thermal stresses in cryogenic environments on superconductors is quite challenging, since the environment involves cryogenics and large time-varying as well as dc transport currents through the superconductor. In off-normal cases, such as the transition of a superconducting…

A simple synthesis route was designed to fabricate a functional composite, zinc hydroxide carbonate (ZHC) flowers on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods. The hydrolysis of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) can generate various species which are slowly released and gradually change reaction modes in a Zn(NO(3))(2)/HMT solution. As a…

Our aim was to find out to which extent fossil phytoplankton pigments in the large shallow and turbid Lake Võrtsjärv carry information on the history of phytoplankton communities. For this purpose we examined how the changes in the pigment composition of surface sediments follow their changes in the water column. Dept…
