A large series of photochromes of the spirooxazine family has been investigated using density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory, aiming at designing molecules with an open-ring merocyanine form absorbing at the longest possible wavelength. A complete methodological assessment (basis set, s…
The production of D (-)-lactic acid from Lactobacillus LMI8 sp. was optimizated by central composite design, using two low-cost nitrogen sources: corn steep liquor (CSL) and yeast autolysate (YA). The fermentation were performed in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 100 mL of production medium, maintained at 200 rpm…
Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA), which mainly are made of acrylic polymers, have been used to fix optical films to liquid crystal display (LCD) cells to prevent contraction or expansion of the optical film under high temperature and high humidity conditions, while residual stress on the polarizing film is generated…
Various apparatus were used to analyse the structures and the surface states of the nanodiamond particles synthesised by detonation, including a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), an energy diffraction spectrometer (EDS), an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a Raman spectrometer (Raman), a Fourier tra…
Poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide), PLGA, is a biodegradable polyester with many medical applications. In this article, several catalysts are studied as potential substitutes of the conventional catalyst, tin (II) 2-ethylhexanoate (known as tin octoate, SnOct2). Namely, different metal carboxylates have been examined, in…
This paper descirbes leakage current characters and discharge phenomenon of outdoor insulators both in the lab and in the field. The results are hoped to be used for online monitoring of the contamination levels. The following contents are introduced in the paper: leakage current monitoring systems, relationships betw…

A new four-step synthetic method is presented and applied to the preparation in high purity of three novel dicyanate monomers that comprise aryl/alkylene ether backbones with high molecular flexibility. The multistep route involves four individually high-yielding steps (each ≥70%), thus giving overall reaction yields…
It is shown that chalcogenide glasses with suitably underconstrained network can undergo reversible giant photocontractions up to a micron depth. These effects result from the combination of two attributes particular to these glasses, (i) the high photosensitivity characteristic of low coordination floppy networks and…
The vibrational dynamics of water within Vycor 7930 under different hydration levels and adsorption and desorption processes has been investigated by Raman measurements. Based on the successfully depressing the background fluorescence of Vycor, a new Gaussian peaking at 3590 cm −1 has been observed in the Raman spectr…
The interaction of nitrogen molecules (N2) with the host lattice of compound semiconductors is investigated using first-principles density-functional calculations. In ZnO it is found that N2 causes localized states in the band gap either by forming an N2O molecule or by breaking a Zn-O bond. This mechanism contributes…

Porous frit-bonded SiC ceramics were successfully prepared at a temperature as low as 800 o C from SiC, frit, and microbeads (glass or polymer). The effects of SiC starting particle size and microbead addition on microstructure, porosity, and flexural strength were investigated. The addition of hollow glass microbead…
The underpinnings of microphase separation in symmetric poly(styrenesulfonate- block -methylbutylene) (PSS−PMB) copolymer melts were examined by Monte Carlo lattice simulations. The main challenge is understanding the effect of ion pairs in the PSS block on thermodynamics. We assume that experimentally determined Flor…
Prolonged heating of formamide (HCONH2) at 185°C or 220°C produces a black insoluble product. The FT-IR spectroscopy and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) suggest that the product has the chemical structure of a polymer of hydrocyanic acid: (HCN)x. The pyrolysis of (HCN)x prepared from formamide produces a la…
The spin-Hamiltonian parameters (g factors g//, g⊥ and hyperfine structure constants 65A// and 65A⊥) for the tetragonal Cu2+ centres in trigonal Zn(BrO3)·6H2O crystal are calculated from the complete diagonalization (of energy matrix) method (CDM) based on the cluster approach. In the CDM, the Zeeman and hyperfine int…
Solid hydride materials combining high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen capacity, rapid hydrogenation and dehydrogenation kinetics, and low operating temperature are highly desirable for hydrogen storage on fuel cell vehicles. Recently, a material of nominal composition Li 3 BN 2 H 8, formed by combining LiNH 2 and…
PURPOSE: To use a rat model for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) that was administered high-dose gadodiamide to determine whether the co-administration of erythropoietin (Epo) and intravenous iron potentiated development of skin lesions that are thought to be a marker for the development of NSF. MATERIALS AND METHO…
A cholesteric liquid crystal (Ch-LC) composite, made of a series of cholesteryl esters, a nematic LC, and a hydrogen bond (H-bond) chiral dopant (HCD), was prepared and filled into a planar treated cell. When the cell was heated, the selective reflection of the cell exhibited an unusual blue shift. One of the reasonab…
While high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) has been successfully used for the analysis of heavy atoms in a lighter matrix, the detection of light atoms in a heavy matrix remains challenging. In this paper, we show that the combination of first-principles total-energy cal…
