The effect of co-doping of Pb1–xYx[(Zr0.53Ti0.47)1–xNbx]O3 bulk materials (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.03) with Y 3+ ions and Nb 5+ on their dielectric and piezoelectric properties o was investigated. Samples fabricated by conventional oxide mixing (OM) were sintered at 1250 °C for 2 h in a Pb-rich atmosphere. During the tetragonal–rho…
Fouling dominates the design of heat exchangers used in crude oil preheat trains. It also dominates the lifetime cost of the trains, where the most important cost factor is lost profit through reduced production. Thus, the design objective should be the identification of geometries that provide acceptable performance…
In order to decrease kenaf chemical residues and environmental pollution caused by conventional degumming methods, the present work used a biological enzyme degumming technique to degum kenaf, where the enzyme was the secretion from Aspergillus niger‐kenaf. A neural network model was established based on the experimen…
To avoid the negative effects caused by fouling in heat exchanger equipment, the heat exchanger surface can be modified energetically or mechanically. Thus, mechanical, chemical, and thermal stability of the coatings with respect to the fouling and cleaning conditions is crucial. The surface is typically characterized…
Textile biomedical materials have been used for various applications contributing considerably in improving quality of life. The current study aims at improving polypropylene fibre stents which may replace metallic ones. In order to produce the stents, weft‐knitting and braiding technologies were used. In the braiding…
Among the various fouling mitigation strategies, surface modification is gaining increased attention due to its environmental compatibility, i.e., reduced consumption of potentially harmful fouling inhibitors. One approach is to decrease the surface energy, which could give rise to lower adhesive strength of deposited…
Anthracyclines have long been considered to be among the most active agents clinically available for the treatment of breast cancer despite their toxicity. To improve their pharmacological profiles, a new macromolecular prodrug, denoted NC-6300, was synthesized. NC-6300 comprises epirubicin covalently bound to polyeth…
Commercial purity aluminium sheets were severely plastic deformed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB). Changes in electrical resistivity at 77 K and microstructure during the ARB process were traced up to 12 cycles, which corresponded to an equivalent strain of 10. The resistivity at 77 K increased with increasing numb…
Nanoscale particles embedded in a metallic matrix are of considerable interest as a route towards identifying and tailoring material properties. We present a detailed investigation of the electronic structure, and in particular the Fermi surface, of a nanoscale phase ($L1_2$ Al$_3$Li) that has so far been inaccessible…
The origin of ferromagnetism in the prototype ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs is still controversial due to the insufficient understanding of its band structure and Fermi level position. Here, we show the universal valence-band (VB) picture of GaMnAs obtained by resonant tunneling spectroscopy for a variety of surf…
Heat exchangers are the workhorse of most chemical, petrochemical, food-processing, and power-generating processes. The global heat exchanger market is estimated to top a total of $12.7 billion by ...
The surface layers (S layers) of those bacteria and archaea that elaborate these crystalline structures have been studied for 40 years. However, most structural analysis has been based on electron microscopy of negatively stained S-layer fragments separated from cells, which can introduce staining artifacts and allow…
The authors propose a process to improve the medical management of a cutaneous contamination in two ways: firstly by analysis of practices and products of decontamination used; secondly, by developing computer tools for the occupational physicians. This software will allow them to have a rapid dosimetric assessment in…
Abstract We developed a surface modification of electrospun nonwoven nanofiber mat by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Nanofibers of poly(methyl methacrylate)-co-poly[2-(2-bromoisobutyryloxy)ethyl methacrylate] were prepared by electrospinning to form a nonwoven nanofiber mat containing b…
Abstract A new molecule-based magnet, α-(benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bis[1,3,2]dithiazole (BBDTA))2ReBr6, comprised a one-dimensional network composed of an alternative alignment of BBDTA+ (S = 1/2) and ReBr62− (S = 3/2) and an S = 1/2 regular chain network of the other BBDTA+. This material became a ferromagnet below 12.2 K.…
Recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rPA) is a truncated version of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which contains nine disulfide bonds and is prone to forming inactive inclusion bodies when expressed in bacteria. To obtain functional rPA expression, we displayed the rPA on the surface of polyhydroxybut…
Particles generated from numerous anthropogenic and/or natural sources, such as crystalline α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles, have the potential to damage lung cells. In our study we investigated the effects of these nanoparticles (12.5 µg/ml) on lipid peroxidation and the antioxidative system in MRC-5 lung fibroblast cells foll…
Abstract Polyurethane dispersions are gaining in importance due to their environmentally friendly coating system, versatile coating properties and ease of application. An enormous amount of research is focused on waterborne coatings such as waterborne alkyds, water‐reducible alkyds, alkyd–acrylic hybrids, oil modified…
BACKGROUND: Surface charge and oxidative stress are often hypothesized to be important factors in cytotoxicity of nanoparticles. However, the role of these factors is not well understood. Hence, the aim of this study was to systematically investigate the role of surface charge, oxidative stress and possible involvemen…
Nonlinear transport in the one dimensional Hubbard model at half-filling under a finite bias voltage is investigated by the adaptive time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method. For repulsive on-site interaction, dielectric breakdown of the Mott insulating ground state to a current-carrying nonequilibri…
