The liquid crystalline phase behaviour of a chiral two-site hard Gaussian overlap fluid is examined using the well-known Parsons–Lee extension of the theory of Onsager. The hard-core model is constructed such that the vector connecting the centers of two hard Gaussian segments is perpendicular to the long axes of both…

Protein crystals usually grow at a preferable temperature which is however not known for a new protein. This paper reports a new approach for determination of favorable crystallization temperature, which can be adopted to facilitate the crystallization screening process. By taking advantage of the correlation between…

It is well known that the direct-space asymmetric unit definitions found in the International Tables for Crystallography, Volume A, are inexact at the borders. Face- and edge-specific sub-conditions have to be added to remove parts redundant under symmetry. This paper introduces a concise geometric notation for asymme…

The electronic properties of graphene zigzag nanoribbons with electrostatic potentials along the edges are investigated. Using the Dirac-fermion approach, we calculate the energy spectrum of an infinitely long nanoribbon of finite width $w$, terminated by Dirichlet boundary conditions in the transverse direction. We s…

A mathematical model for the total heat flow obtained in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments from polymers with enthalpic relaxation is proposed. It is limited to the glass transition and enthalpic relaxation range of temperature and to the cases where the enthalpic relaxation is the only non‐reversing…

SF? gas, which has an excellent dielectric strength and interruption performance, is used in various applications such as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) in substations. However, since SF? has a high global warming potential (GWP), it is necessary to find an eco-friendly alternative insulation gas. In order to examine…

Abstract N‐methylmorpholine‐N‐oxide (NMMO) was used as the nonderivatizing solvent for dissolving cellulose, and the cellulose‐tungsten carbide composite particles were prepared with water‐in‐oil suspension and cooling regeneration. Some key factors, such as dissolution temperature and time, water content, cellulose c…

Abstract In this study 4‐methylpyridine (4MP), 4‐vinylpyridine (4VP) and poly(4‐vinylpyridine) (P4VP) were separately reacted with epoxidized soybean oil triglycerides (ESO) to give plant oil based thermoset polymers. The addition reaction of pyridine with epoxide followed by a rearrangement results in formation of py…

Functionalized regions of a single-wall carbon nanotube were resolved by scanning electron microscopy at 1 kV when the functionalized nanotube was placed on a gold substrate. Beam energy and substrate dependence studies suggest that the sharp imaging contrast arises from an increase in the yield of secondary electrons…

Crystallization near structured substrates is explored by extensive Brownian dynamics computer simulations of two-dimensional equimolar binary colloidal suspensions. The particles are interacting via repulsive dipole–dipole forces. The two species have different (big and small) dipole moments which are tunable by an e…
