Thomson’s classical analysis ( 1851 , 1854a , 1854b ) of thermoelectricity is cast into a modern form by means of contemporary thermodynamic methods based on the introduction of a free energy depending on strain, electrical charge and temperature. The present analysis identifies the phenomenological coefficients in Th…

Abstract The electromechanical properties of an electro‐active artificial muscle of poly(styrene‐alt‐maleimide)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) with glycerol as a solvent at ultralow frequencies were investigated. Actuated at higher potentials and in the open air, the artificial muscle showed no back‐relaxation, and the def…

Calmodulin (CaM), a Ca(2+)-binding protein, is a well-known regulator of various cellular functions. One of the targets of CaM is metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7), which serves as a low-pass filter for glutamate in the pre-synaptic terminal to regulate neurotransmission. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR), circ…

The photodissociation dynamics of alkali−ammonia clusters in the gas phase have been explored using a combination of photofragmentation spectroscopy and velocity map imaging. Electronic excitation of Li(NH 3 ) 4 to the à 2 T 2 state leads to the production of relatively slow photofragments with a high degree of intern…

The influence of the spin-Zeeman (SZ) operator in the evaluation of the spin-orbit effect on the nuclear magnetic shielding tensor in the context of the linear response within the elimination of the small component approach is critically discussed. It is shown that such term yields no contribution to the isotropic nuc…

A method of forming limit prediction for sheet metals at high temperatures and under nonproportional loading is presented. The method takes into account the strain-softening behaviors of the material at elevated temperatures. A localized necking criterion based on an isotropic damage-coupled acoustic tensor is develop…

This paper proposes a quench detection method applied to a HTS coil and also discusses the results of tests on an HTS BSCCO wire and an HTS YBCO coil. A series-type thermocouple was fabricated to detect quench, where several thermocouples were welded in series. As the series-type thermocouple has many points of detect…

The electronic structures at the MoO(3)∕Co interface were investigated using synchrotron-based ultraviolet and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that interfacial chemical reactions lead to the reduction of Mo oxidation states and the formation of Co-O bonds. These interfacial chemical reactions also induc…

The ability of two complementary molecular modules bearing H-bonding uracilic and 2,6-(diacetylamino)pyridyl moieties to self-assemble and self-organize into submicrometer morphologies has been investigated by means of spectroscopic, thermogravimetric, and microscopic methods. Using uracilic (3)N-BOC-protected modules…

In this work, we apply a detailed all-atom model with a transferable knowledge-based potential to study the folding kinetics of Formin-Binding protein, FBP28, which is a canonical three-stranded β-sheet WW domain. Replica exchange Monte Carlo simulations starting from random coils find native-like (Cα RMSD of 2.68 Å)…

The effect of surface roughness on droplet impact is considered. If a surface is sufficiently rough, then models of droplet impact need to be altered to include the possibility of many touchdowns between the fluid and the solid. The subsequent simultaneous motion of several contact points is therefore described. In pa…
