The (β/α)₈-barrel is one of the most abundant folds found in enzymes. To identify the independent folding units and the segment(s) that correspond to a minimum core structure within a (β/α)₈-barrel protein, fragmentation experiments were performed with Escherichia coli phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase, which has a…

The internal friction was measured for an Al–Cu–Fe icosahedral phase (i-phase) and an Al–Cu–Fe–Si 1/1 approximant phase (1/1-phase) by using a dynamical mechanical analyzer (DMA) in the frequency range 0.05–10 Hz and the temperature range 300–873 K. For the i-phase, four absorption peaks were observed at around 420, 5…

Single crystals of pentamagnesium titanium(IV) tetraoxide bis(borate), Mg(5)TiO(4)(BO(3))(2), were prepared by slow cooling of the melt from 1623 K in air. The crystal is isostructural with the mineral ludwigite (Mg(2)FeO(2)BO(3)). The Mg and Ti atoms are coordinated by six O atoms and the B atom is coordinated by thr…

We studied capacitance-voltage characteristics of ZnO thin-film transistors (TFT's), grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). We compared two ZnO TFT's: one grown at 450 °C and the other at 350 °C. ZnO grown at 450 °C showed smooth capacitance profile with electron density of 1.5×1020 cm-3. In contrast…

Abstract For the past 10 years, the frequency of channel-control blade interference has been greater than before because of shadow corrosion-induced bow. Shadow corrosion-induced bow is caused by differential hydrogen concentration on channel sides adjacent to and away from the control blade. The differential hydrogen…

Polypyrrole (PPy) was chemically synthesised at two pH levels (pH = 2 and unadjusted pH, i.e. 6.6) using pre-formed carboxymethylcellulose-iron (CMC-Fe) complexes. The CMC-Fe complexes were prepared at a fixed CMC concentration, i.e. 5.5x10-5 mol/L, and with an increasing FeCl3 amount (from 4x10-3 to 5x10-2 mol/L). Th…

Most liquid crystals show low sensitivity to magnetic field. However, in this paper we show that a small bias magnetic field not only breaks the symmetry of the ground state, but also plays a crucial role in facilitating the reorientation induced by a large test magnetic field. In particular, a small bias field may al…
