We investigate the influence of solution-processed cesium fluoride (CsF) interlayers on the performance of inverted polymer solar cells comprising a blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl):[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester. The thickness of the CsF layer is optimized in terms of current-voltage characteristi…
We have theoretically demonstrated the drastic enhancement of light-induced electric polarization in molecular nondipole type dark states. Its magnitude can exceed that of bright states, even in a nanoscale molecule, due to the spatial correlation between the wave function of the excited states and the localized light…
A steel has recently been designed to benefit from the deformation induced transformation of retained austenite present in association with bainitic ferrite. It has as its major microstructural component, dendrites of δ-ferrite introduced during solidification. The δ-ferrite replaces the allotriomorphic ferrite presen…
Recent experiments indicate the universality of electron accumulation and downward surface band bending at as-grown InN surfaces with polar or nonpolar orientations. Here, we demonstrate the possibility to prepare flatband InN (0001¯) surfaces. We have also measured the surface stoichiometry of InN surfaces by using c…
How to choose external insulation under high altitude, pollution and icing conditions for UHVDC transmission project is a complicated problem. To provide technical reference to this engineering roadblock, the dc icing flashover performance of seven types of pre-polluted short samples of composite insulators at low air…
The one-dimensional (1D) classical Child–Langmuir (CL) law has been extended to the Coulomb blockade (single to few electrons) regime, including the effect of single-electron charging. It is found that there is a threshold of voltage (Vth) equals to one-half of the single-electron charging energy for electron injectio…
Some viruses of Archaea use an unusual egress mechanism that involves the formation of virus-associated pyramids (VAPs) on the host cell surface. At the end of the infection cycle, these structures open outward and create apertures through which mature virions escape from the cell. Here we describe in detail the struc…
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the application of the superjunction (SJ) design in an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). Bipolar conduction is present and enhanced at the cathode side of the device, while the p-pillars collect the plasma deep from the anode side, thus significantly enhancing its turn-o…
This paper presents a series of experimental investigations involving the use of ultraviolet (UV) detection of corona discharges from a rod-plane air gap subjected to high AC voltages. To establish a criterion to identify the beginning of dangerous levels of corona discharges, using UV images, coronas from air gaps of…
Thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS) for the extraction of trivalent f-elements, M(III) (M = Am, Eu), with N,N,N',N'-tetraoctyl-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamide (TODGA) were determined in nitric acid/n-dodecane extraction system. The extraction of M(III) with TODGA was more exothermic than those with octyl(phenyl)-N,N-di…
The first step of the shikimate pathway for aromatic amino acid biosynthesis is catalyzed by 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAH7PS). Thermotoga maritima DAH7PS (TmaDAH7PS) is tetrameric, with monomer units comprised of a core catalytic (β/α)(8) barrel and an N-terminal domain. This enzyme is inh…
Strong directional selectivity is theoretically predicted and experimentally validated at the microwave frequencies in the beaming regime for a single subwavelength slit in nonsymmetric metallic gratings with double-side corrugations. The operation regime can be realized at a fixed angle of incidence when the surface-…
The goal of this study was to design a nontoxic scaffold with both composition and microstructure suitable for bone engineering using collagen (Coll), hydroxyapatite (HA), and poly(lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL). Mineralized type I Coll was produced by direct nucleation of HA particles inside self-assembled Coll fi…
We developed a high-performance field-induced polymer electroluminescence (FPEL) device consisting of four stacked layers: a top metal electrode/thin solution-processed nanocomposite film of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and a fluorescent polymer/insulator/transparent bottom electrode working under an alternati…
We report a straightforward, bottom-up, scalable process for preparing mineralized nanofibers. Our procedure is based on flowing feed solution, containing both inorganic cations and polymeric molecules, through a nanoporous membrane into a receiver solution with anions, which leads to the formation of mineralized nano…
A branched nanowire with two input terminals and one output terminal can serve as a modulator. The light emission from the output resulting from illumination of one input can be modulated by illumination at the other input. The physical mechanism underlying the modulation is constructive or destructive interference of…
This work presents the electrical characteristics of the nitrogenated amorphous InGaZnO thin film transistor (a-IGZO:N TFT). The a-IGZO:N film acting as a channel layer of a thin film transistor (TFT) device was prepared by dc reactive sputter with a nitrogen and argon gas mixture at room temperature. Experimental res…
BACKGROUND: Many in vitro studies have demonstrated that silencing of cancerous genes by siRNAs is a potential therapeutic approach for blocking tumor growth. However, siRNAs are not cell type-selective, cannot specifically target tumor cells, and therefore have limited in vivo application for siRNA-mediated gene ther…
Intravascular stents were first introduced in the 1980s as an adjunct to primary angioplasty for management of early complications, including arterial dissection, or treatment of an inadequate technical outcome due to early elastic recoil of the atherosclerotic lesion. Despite the beneficial effects of stenting, persi…
The review demonstrates the progress in the chemistry of calix[4]resorcinarenes over the last decade. Special attention is paid to their synthesis, conformational behaviour, functionalization and ability to serve as cavitands and capsules, to form monolayers and host–guest complexes. Practical applications of calix[4]…
