Abstract In this article, we show that the −10 dB reflectivity bandwidth of a Salisbury screen operating at normal incidence is increased by 56% when a lossy spiral shaped frequency selective surface is inserted between the outermost 377 Ω per square resistive sheet and the ground plane. Moreover, this structure exhib…
An alternative approach, nonequilibrium evolution thermodynamics, is compared with the classical Landau approach. A statistical justification of the approach is done with the help of a probability distribution function on an example of a solid with vacancies. Two kinds of kinetic equations are derived in terms of the…
Two paralogous genes, maeE and citM, that encode putative malic enzyme family members were identified in the Enterococcus faecalis genome. MaeE (41 kDa) and CitM (42 kDa) share a high degree of homology between them (47% identities and 68% conservative substitutions). However, the genetic context of each gene suggeste…
The soluble pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase (STH) is an energy-independent flavoprotein that directly catalyzes hydride transfer between NAD(H) and NADP(H) to maintain homeostasis of these two redox cofactors. The sth gene in Escherichia coli was cloned and expressed as a fused protein (EcSTH). The purified EcSTH…
The long-time dynamics and pattern formation in semidilute suspensions of colloidal spheres in a viscous electrolyte under a uniform electric field are investigated using numerical simulations. The rapid chain formation that occurs in the field direction as a result of dipolar interactions is found to be followed by a…
We report here the substitution of Se by Te in the Mott insulator GaTa 4 Se 8– y Te y, a lacunar spinel compound containing Ta 4 tetrahedral clusters. Our synthetic and crystallographic works show that Te atoms occupy successively two different crystallographic sites and that the substitution reaches a limit for GaTa…
We analyze the dc Josephson effect in a ballistic superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor junction by means of the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations in the quasiclassical Andreev approximation. We consider the possibility of ferromagnetism originating from a mass renormalization of carriers of opposite spin, i.e., a s…
Evidence for the validity of the pairing glue interpretation of high temperature superconductivity is presented using a modified Eliashberg analysis of experimental superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) tunneling data in B2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi2212) over a wide range of doping. This is accomplished by extracting deta…
We present an angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy study of YBa${}_{2}$Cu${}_{3}$O${}_{7\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}$ films in situ grown by pulsed laser deposition. We have successfully produced underdoped surfaces with ordered oxygen vacancies within the CuO chains resulting in a clear ortho-II band foldi…
INTRODUCTION: Nanocarriers are considered to be one of the most innovative drug delivery systems, owing to their high potential in drug protection, delivery and targeting to the diseased site. Unfortunately, their applicability is hampered mainly by their uptake, due to macrophagic recognition and lack of specificity,…
An indoor radon survey of a total of 77 dwellings randomly selected in 10 districts in Oke-Ogun area of Oyo state, South-western Nigeria was carried out using CR-39 detectors. The CR-39 detectors were placed in the bedrooms and living rooms and exposed for 6 months and then etched in NaOH 6.25 N solution at 90 °C for…
By means of large-scale atomistic simulations, we investigate theoretically the interface between poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and zinc oxide. We observe a spontaneous tendency of the polymer to disorder close to the surface, and we attribute such a result to lattice spacing mismatch. By using simple effective models…
Abstract The matching preclusion number of a graph with an even number of vertices is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has no perfect matchings. For many interconnection networks, the optimal sets are precisely those induced by a single vertex. It is natural to look for obstruction se…
The method of local increments is used in connection with an embedded cluster approach and wave function based quantum chemical ab initio methods to describe the adsorption of a single CO molecule on the MgO(001) surface. The first step in this approach is a conventional Hartree-Fock calculation. The occupied orbitals…
We investigated the effects of various cyclodextrins (CDs) on the aqueous solubility and thermal stability of α-lipoic acid, a compound with low water solubility. α-CD, β-CD, and γ-CD had little effect on the aqueous solubility of α-lipoic acid. In contrast, 6-O-α-maltosyl-CDs increased it in a concentration-dependent…
The artificial neural network–group contribution (ANN–GC) method is applied to estimate the standard enthalpy of combustion of pure chemical compounds. A total of 4590 pure compounds from various chemical families are investigated to propose a comprehensive and predictive model. The obtained results show the squared c…
The feature of enhanced absorption in two-layered grating structures is theoretically investigated. The underlying structures make the most use of resonance mechanism to achieve a nearly perfect absorption in an intrinsically low-loss medium. For standalone gratings, the maximum absorption efficiency is shown to be 50…
A family of novel linear 1,10-phenanthroline-based (A-D-A-D-A) and oligothiophene-based (A-D-D-D-(D)-A) heterocyclic aromatic fluorescence compounds having N-containing imidazole and pyridine tails with effective π-conjugated systems, prepared by the combination of carbon-carbon (C-C) bond and carbon-nitrogen (C-N) bo…
The incorporation of Ti ions within the framework of aluminophosphate zeotype AlPO-5 and their chemical reactivity is studied by means of CW-EPR, HYSCORE, and UV-vis spectroscopies. Upon reduction, Ti(3+) ions are formed, which exhibit large (31)P hyperfine couplings, providing direct evidence for framework substituti…
A facile formation of picene was achieved by photosensitization of 1,2-di(1-naphthyl)ethane using 9-fluorenone as a sensitizer. This sensitized photoreaction is the first photochemical cyclization of ethylene-bridged naphthalene moieties to afford the picene skeleton. 5,8-Dibromopicene, prepared by this procedure usin…
