Grain refinement in lath martensite and bainite structures, which is important for strengthening and toughening, are discussed in various aspects. Strain accommodation plays important roles to determine final crystal sizes of bainitic ferrite (BF) and martensite. There is strong variant selection of BF by natures of t…

Reproducible electrochemically encoded quantum dot (QD) barcodes were prepared using the reverse-micelle synthetic approach. The encoding elements, Zn(2+), Cd(2+), and Pb(2+), were confined within a single QD, which eliminates the cumbersome encapsulation process used by other common nanoparticle-based barcode prepara…

The permeability or crossover characteristics of a typical perfluorosulfonic acid base type membrane are used for the temporal and spatial estimations of nitrogen concentration along the anode channels of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack. The predicted nitrogen accumulation is then used to estimate the i…

BACKGROUND: Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are multienzymatic, multidomain megasynthases involved in the biosynthesis of pharmaceutically important nonribosomal peptides. The peptaibol synthetase from Trichoderma virens (TPS) is an important member of the NRPS family that exhibits antifungal properties. The…

Calculating phase diagrams and measuring the properties of multiple phases in equilibrium is one of the most common applications of field-theoretic simulations. Such a simulation often attempts to simulate two phases in equilibrium with each other in the same simulation box. This is a computationally demanding approac…
