To provide flexibility in implementing polySi devices in Si optoelectronic integrated circuits, polySi wire waveguides were fabricated with various low thermal budget solid-phase crystallization (SPC) approaches, i.e., spike rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 1050°C for < 1 s, low-temperature annealing (LTA) at 600°C fo…
The quantum instanton approximation is extended to investigate dynamical processes of hydrogen on surface, from surface to subsurface, and between interior sites in nickel lattice. The path integral Monte Carlo and adaptive umbrella sampling techniques are employed to manipulate the quantum instanton formula. The free…
An analytic method to determine the thermal intensity factors of finite domains in two-dimensional heat conduction in the vicinity of a crack is introduced. The method first separates the variables of the heat conduction equations in polar coordinates using the Hamiltonian formalism and finds the symplectic eigenfunct…
We have successfully demonstrated experimentally the fabrication and measurement of high quality-factor one-dimensional photonic crystal/photonic wire extended cavities based on silicon-on-insulator. The cavities that we have investigated ranged from 3 to 8 ¿m in length. A quality-factor of nearly 74 000 was measured…
In this article we describe the strategy adopted to minimize the risk of acetamide presence in zaurategrast sulfate drug candidate. A risk of acetamide formation (a potential genotoxic impurity) was identified in the API formation step of the process during the early development phase. In order to keep the project dev…
Use of longer-wavelength X-rays has advantages for the detection of small anomalous signals from light atoms, such as sulfur, in protein molecules. However, the accuracy of the measured diffraction data decreases at longer wavelengths because of the greater X-ray absorption. The capillary-top mounting method (formerly…
The coiled-coil structure formed by the complex of the DNA duplex d(ATATATATAT)(2) with pentamidine is presented. The duplex was found to have a mixed structure containing Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen base pairs. The drug stabilizes the coiled coil through the formation of cross-links between neighbouring duplexes. The…
The photophysical properties of lipophilic phthalocyanines encapsulated into a polymer and two different gels were studied in order to predict their photosensitizing efficacy in vivo. Photophysical techniques for solid phase were adapted for light dispersing samples. Gel formulation of two tetrasubstituted phthalocyan…
Two procedures for the synthesis of benzo-21-crown-7 have been explored. The [1+1] macrocyclization with KBF₄ as the template was found to be more efficient than the intramolecular macrocyclization without template. Pseudorotaxanes form with secondary ammonium ions bearing at least one alkyl chain narrow enough to sli…
The 70 kDa heat-shock proteins (Hsp70s) are highly conserved chaperones that are involved in several cellular processes, such as protein folding, disaggregation and translocation. In this study, the crystal structures of the human Hsp70 nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) fragment were determined in the nucleotide-free st…
A number of methods exist that use different approaches to assess geometric properties like the surface complementarity and atom packing at the protein-protein interface. We have developed two new and conceptually different measures using the Delaunay tessellation and interface slice selection to compute the surface c…
The problem of optical reciprocity in the long wavelength limit is considered in terms of the symmetry for the scalar Green's function under the Neumann boundary conditions, for materials with nonlocal and anisotropic dielectric responses. This extends the previous works in the literature which were limited either to…
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a quantum dot (QD) and the pH-sensitive fluorescent protein mOrange has been used to develop a fluorescent pH-indicator that is bright and photostable enough for applications in fluorescence imaging, including the tracking of molecules through endocytic pathways. A…
Here, we report Prostaglandin A2 (PGA2) induced binding of HSP70 to a novel site on phi1 SMAR1 5' UTR which stabilizes the wild type transcript and leads to subsequent increase in SMAR1 protein levels. SMAR1 mediated cell cycle arrest is perturbed in PGA2-treated cells when HSP70 is knocked-down. Contrarily HSP70, unl…
We derive a new density-biased Monte Carlo technique which preserves detailed balance and improves the convergence of grand-canonical simulations of a species with a strong preference for an interfacial region as compared to the bulk. This density-biasing technique is applied to the solubility of "alcohol" molecules i…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the response of transverse relaxation time (T2) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in human glioma tumor xenografts during and after fractionated radiotherapy. Tumor-bearing mice were divided into four treatment groups (n=6 per group) that received a total dose of 800…
Abstract The novel high nitrogen‐containing energetic complex [Cd(DAT)6](NO3)2 was synthesized by reaction of Cd(NO3)2·6H2O with 1,5‐diamino‐tetrazole (DAT). It was characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The central Cd2+ ion is coordinated by six nitrogen…
Integrated passive and active devices are the key components in current and future information technology. In order to fulfill requirements in miniaturization for (integrated) optical or electronic devices, nano-scaled materials with a good compatibility to high-resolution processing techniques are needed. According t…
Transition metal doped boron carbides produced by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition of orthocarborane (closo-1,2-C2B10H12) and 3d metal metallocenes were investigated by performing K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure and x-ray absorption near edge structure measurements. The 3d transition metal at…
Near infrared wavelength region between 0.8 and 2 μm is an attractive region for biomedical imaging due to the low loss in biomedical objects in the region. Rare-earth doped ceramic phosphors are known to emit efficient fluorescence in the same wavelength region. The authors have developed micro fluorescence bioimagin…
