In this paper, synthesis and characterization of cerium dioxide (CeO 2 ) or ceria nanoparticles are presented. Nanoparticles of cerium dioxide were synthesized by solution method using a microwave oven. The precursor used to prepare the nanoparticles of CeO 2 was ammonium ceric nitrate. The precursor was dissolved in…
The purpose of the present work was to determine the identity of the enzymes that synthesize N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), the most abundant dipeptide present in vertebrate central nervous system (CNS), and β-citrylglutamate, a structural analogue of NAAG present in testis and immature brain. Previous evidence sug…
We present a simple and inexpensive means to measure background-free photoinduced absorption spectra by implementing a dual optical modulation scheme. Our objective is to measure quasi-steady-state absorption spectra of long-lived photoexcitations, such as polarons and triplet excitons in organic semiconductors, when…
The recently developed void expansion method (VEM) allows for an efficient generation of porous packings of spherical particles over a wide range of volume fractions. The method is based on a random placement of the structural particles under addition of much smaller "void-particles" whose radii are repeatedly increas…
Abstract Two isomeric PdII complexes, 4 and 5, of a β-tetraphenyl meso-hexakis(pentafluorophenyl) substituted [28]hexaphyrin were isolated, both of which exhibited distinct diatropic ring currents and electronic absorption spectra characteristic of aromatic porphyrinoids. These complexes have been designated Möbius ar…
Abstract A novel trigonal conjugate of glutathiones with a 1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)-2,4,6-triethylbenzene core was synthesized and its self-assembling behavior was investigated in water. Three glutathione units were regulated to orient on the same side of the benzene ring, through steric repulsions between ethyl groups…
The enzymatic activity of Bacillus subtilis glutamine synthetase (GS), which catalyzes the synthesis of glutamine from ammonium and glutamate, is regulated by glutamine feedback inhibition. The feedback-inhibited form of B. subtilis GS regulates the DNA-binding activities of the TnrA and GlnR nitrogen transcriptional…
Colonial planktonic diatoms representative of the genus Eunotia Ehrenberg are common in phytoplankton assemblages from oligotrophic pristine rivers and streams in the Amazon hydrographical basin. A taxonomic account on E. asterionelloides and related species revealed the presence of four unknown taxa, which are formal…
2-Mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI) has been evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor for cold rolled steel in aerated 2 M H2SO4 by gravimetric method. The effect of MMI on the corrosion rate was determined at various immersions time and concentrations. The effect of the temperature on the corrosion behaviour with addition o…
Abstract Reaction of calcium disilicide (CaSi2) and hydrogen chloride solution with various alcohols yields siloxene derivatives terminated with functional groups that are determined by the alcohol used as the solvent in the reaction. The functional groups terminated on silicon determine the basal spacing of the silox…
Bridges are the backbones of transportation lines for modern cities. Damage to bridges could disrupt the flow of traffic and be disastrous for the communities they serve, especially when reconstruction and recovery activities are needed, such as after strong earthquakes and hurricanes. Recent earthquake and hurricane…
Engineered carbon nanostructures, such as multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), are inherently hydrophobic and are not readily stable in aqueous media. However, the aqueous stability and bioavailability of these nanotubes may be influenced by the water quality parameters such as ionic strength, pH, and natural organic…
We perform spatial point analysis of InAs quantum dot nucleation sites and surface reconstruction domain pattern on an InAs wetting layer, giving insights for quantum dot nucleation mechanism. An InAs wetting layer grown to 1.5 monolayers in thickness on a GaAs(001) substrate has been observed at 300 degC by using in…
In a large variety of ideal crystals we found that when rapidly migrating atoms squash or annihilate a neighbouring vacancy and produce a disordered cluster, the heat of migration stored in the system exceeds the enthalpy increase required for the coordinating atoms of the vacancy to form a liquid phase, i.e. the liqu…
Despite excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties, the poor in vitro and in vivo degradability of cellulose has limited its biomedical and biomass conversion applications. To address this issue, we report a metabolic engineering-based approach to the rational redesign of cellular metabolites to introduce N-…

We report on DNA translocations through nanopores created in graphene membranes. Devices consist of 1-5 nm thick graphene membranes with electron-beam sculpted nanopores from 5 to 10 nm in diameter. Due to the thin nature of the graphene membranes, we observe larger blocked currents than for traditional solid-state na…
The presented work is about the implementation of a vector hysteresis model in a Finite Integration Technique (FIT) calculation code. This is achieved in the magnetostatic case using the vector potential formulation and with the external electric circuit coupling. The used behavior law model is the vectorized Jiles-At…
This experimental work examines the influence of the yarn twist on the formability of a woven fabric. Consideration is given to the phenomenon of bedding between warp and weft yarns, as affected by the local helix angles of bent yarns. A total of 28 plain weave woven fabrics (four groups, each with seven samples) were…
Various types of porous resin adsorbents based on polystyrene, agarose, and cellulose as matrixes coupling with DNA, amino acids and other biological active molecules as ligands were extensively studied in China. Molecular recognition between the ligand and pathogenic molecule was investigated. Several commercialized…
