A set of 45 acids or acid combinations was examined in the condensation of pyrrole + benzaldehyde (10 mM each in CH 2 Cl 2 ) leading to meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP). Initial screening experiments identified suitable acid catalysts and the optimal concentration (in terms of TPP formation) for each acid. Subsequent e…

A shift of the corrosion potential in the positive direction (“ennoblement”) has been observed for cartridge brass and Al 2024 (UNS A92024) exposed to artificial seawater or Luria Bertani growth medium in the presence of bacteria such as B. subtilis, B. licheniformis, or E. coli. Since ennoblement was always accompani…

Aluminum nitride fibers were successfully synthesized from alumina fibers using an NH 3 –C 3 H 8 gas mixture as a reduction–nitridation agent. Observation using SEM clearly demonstrated that the morphology of the nitrided fibers was exactly the same as that of the raw alumina fibers, retaining the original regular sha…

The synthesis and characterization of phthalocyaninato-ruthenium ( PcRu ) complexes with potential functional axial ligands are described. The solubility of these PcRu complexes was much improved compared to their parent phthalocyanines without Ru , enabling purification by normal flash column chromatography and also…

Gravity-driven soap-film channels offer a convenient way to study two-dimensional hydrodynamics in the laboratory. With recently developed quantitative soap-film diagnostic techniques, velocity and thickness field information can be acquired to provide a complete description of the flow. We present a study of soap-fil…

This paper reviews the electron-irradiation effects in graphitic nanoparticles. Irradiation-induced atomic displacements cause structural defects in graphite lattice forming the basis of carbon nanoparticles such as nanotubes or carbon onions. Defects of the type of non-six-membered rings induce topological alteration…

In Denmark, straw is used for generating energy in power plants. However during straw combustion, potassium chloride and SO2 are released in the flue gas and through condensation and deposition processes they will result in the formation of superheater deposits rich in potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. These…

Chains of crystalline-Si nanospheres were studied by means of Raman scattering spectroscopy. We found that the one-phonon Raman scattering peak from the chains was asymmetric and broader than that from bulk Si. This phenomenon can be attributed to a phonon confinement in the silicon nanospheres. The phonon confinement…

A driving force of photoinduced surface relief (PSR) formation is examined by considering the complex electric susceptibility of the absorbing medium. It is introduced into a fluid mechanics model established for the viscous fluid layer on a flat substrate. As a result, a theoretical model for PSR formation covering t…

Abstract The tensile moduli of polystyrene/polybutadiene blends were studied with reference to the effect of the blend ratio. A comparison between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions of the tensile properties was also made. The models selected were the parallel, series, Halpin–Tsai, Takayanagi, Ke…

The effects of a minor chemical modification on the microscopic structure of a material in its glass and crystal phases are investigated by the concurrent use of neutron diffraction and computer simulation. Significant changes in short-, intermediate-, and long-range order are found, resulting from the change in molec…

Abstract: The transcript sizes of fcp genes of Cyclotella cryptica, belonging to different fcp gene clusters and encoding different fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c light harvesting polypeptides (Fcps), were determined. Furthermore, the diurnal expression of the fcp1/fcp2/fcp3/fcp5 gene cluster and the steady state mRNA co…

Porous poly(ε-caprolactone) structures have been prepared by leaching of compression moulded salt-containing polymer precipitates. Coagulation takes place when a PCL solution containing dispersed water-soluble salt particles is precipitated into an excess of non-solvent. Porous scaffolds are obtained after leaching of…

Single-mode planar waveguides were fabricated from chalcogenide glass compounds with large Kerr nonlinearities. Strong self-phase modulation of subpicosecond pulses along with low linear and nonlinear absorption losses demonstrates the potential for ultrafast, low-power, all-optical processing applications.
