Low‐loss ceramics in the system (Mg 1− x Ni x ) 2 TiO 4 ( x =0.02–0.1) have been prepared using the conventional solid‐state ceramic route. The formation of (Mg 1− x Ni x ) 2 TiO 4 ( x =0.02–0.1) solid solutions was confirmed by the EDX analysis and the lattice parameters measured, which linearly varied from Mg 2 TiO…
Abstract The Inconel 601 alloy oxidation was performed in air, in the temperature range 1000–1150 °C, during 90 h. Kinetic results show that the parabolic behavior is always followed in this temperature range. The Arrhenius plot of the k p values shows two different activation energies. Between 1000 and 1050 °C the ac…
The short answer to the title question is that it acts as an electrostatic bouncer that shoves the charge flow from flavin toward the DNA lesion that photolyase repairs. This explanation is provided by an explicit time-dependent quantum mechanical approach, which is used to investigate the electron transfer process th…
Bauxite-processing residue sand (BRS) is the primary growth medium used to rehabilitate Alcoa’s residue storage areas (RSAs) in south-west Western Australia. This material is typically coarse-textured, highly saline, highly alkaline, extremely sodic, and deficient in plant nutrients. To develop appropriate fertiliser…
Chlorophytum borivilianum Santapau & Fernandes (Liliaceae) is an ayurvedic Rasayana herb with immunostimulating properties. The polysaccharide fraction (CBP) derived from hot water extraction of C. borivilianum (CB), comprising of ∼31% inulin-type fructans and ∼25% acetylated mannans (of hot water-soluble extract), wa…
We examine experimental and theoretical aspects of nonspecific adhesion of giant vesicles on modified surfaces as model systems for cell spreading. Using dual-wave interference microscopy and new analysis, membrane undulations as well as large scale vesicle shape are monitored. Measurements and modelling show that the…
A new series of 3-[4-(4′-alkoxybenzoyloxybenzylidene)amino]-1,2,4-triazines, C3H2N3N˭CHC6H4OCOC6H4OCmH2m + 1 where m = 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 16 have been synthesized. These compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, UV-visible, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Mesomorphic properties of thes…
Recently, modularity has emerged as a general attribute of complex biological systems. This is probably because modular systems lend themselves readily to optimization via random mutation followed by natural selection. Although they are not traditionally considered to evolve by this process, biological ligands are als…
This manuscript presents a summary of recent research work on the electrochemical behaviour of redox active guests fully or almost fully encapsulated by suitable molecular receptors or molecular capsules. From the standpoint of their voltammetric behaviour the cyclodextrins have been shown to be very dynamic hosts, wh…
Iron-based 1D nanostructures have been successfully prepared using an electrospinning technique and varying the pyrolysis atmospheres. Hematite (Fe(2)O(3)) nanotubes and polycrystalline Fe(3)C nanofibers were obtained by simple air or mixed gas (H(2), Ar) annealing treatments. Using the air annealing treatment, a high…
In this study, we prepared carbon nanotube (CNT) forests exhibiting two types of optical properties: so-called "darkest materials" and films displaying iridescence phenomena. The darkest materials, comprising vertically aligned CNT (VA-CNT) forests, displayed extremely low reflections as a result of the rough surface…
Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which could be attributed to the toxic properties of the misfolded protein, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. DJ-1 - a causative agent of familial Parkinson's disease PARK7 - is responsible for induci…
To prevent and control rebar corrosion in concrete, corrosion inhibitors may be used both as a preventative technique if added to fresh concrete and as a repair system if applied to hardened concrete. In the past six years, an experimental research was performed on both mixed and migrating inhibitors. Effectiveness of…
We investigate the influence of spin-orbit coupling on the Kondo effects in carbon nanotube quantum dots, using the numerical renormalization group technique. A sufficiently large spin-orbit coupling is shown to destroy the SU(4) Kondo effects at zero magnetic field, leaving only two SU(2) Kondo effects in the one- an…
Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced metallic composites have been recently gaining a significant amount of scientific interest. The promise of transmitting part of the remarkable and outstanding properties of CNTs to metals has spurred efforts to design and manufacture metallic composites reinforced with CNTs. Out of the…
Hydrothermal reaction of zinc perchlorate, tricarballylic acid (H 3 tca), and bis(4-pyridylmethyl)piperazine (bpmp) resulted in generation of {[Zn 3 (tca) 2 (bpmp)(Hbpmp) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 ·5H 2 O} n ( 1 ), which possesses an unprecedented self-penetrated two-dimensional (2-D) layered topology with threaded-loop type link…
The desensitizing mechanism of amorphous olefin in a typical explosive HMX against external mechanical stimuli was investigated by loading uniaxial compression and shear on four cells composed of pure HMX, pure olefin, HMX + 3 wt % olefin, and HMX + 9 wt % olefin, respectively. As a result, it was confirmed that the m…
The structural investigation of large RNP complexes by X-ray crystallography can be a difficult task due to the flexibility of the RNA and of the protein-RNA interfaces, which may hinder crystallization. In these cases, NMR spectroscopy is an attractive alternative to crystallography, although the large size of typica…
Mucin and lactoperoxidase are both natively present in the human saliva. Mucin provides lubricating and antiadhesive function, while lactoperoxidase has antimicrobial activity. We propose that combined films of the two proteins can be used as a strategy for surface modification in biomedical applications such as impla…
Replication protein A (RPA) is the primary eukaryotic single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding protein utilized in diverse DNA transactions in the cell. RPA is a heterotrimeric protein with seven globular domains connected by flexible linkers, which enable substantial interdomain motion that is essential to its function. S…
