The kinetics of grain growth and Ostwald ripening in Al 2 O 3 ‐ZrO 2 two‐phase composites was systematically investigated using two‐dimensional (2‐D) computer simulations, based on a diffuse‐interface field model. Using average values for the experimentally measured ratios of the grain boundary energies to the interph…
A polyisoprene- block -poly(2-cinnamoyethyl methacrylate) (PI- b -PCEMA) sample with a narrow molar mass distribution was prepared and characterized. The sample formed spherical micelles in hexanes/THF with 20% of THF by volume. After photo-cross-linking of the PCEMA core took place, the PI corona block was cleft by o…
We present surface force data on three different polystyrene/poly(2-vinylpyridine) block copolymers (PS/P2VP) with a fixed size of the nonadsorbing PS block but widely varying sizes of the adsorbing P2VP block. With respect to the sizes of the two blocks, they range from moderately to highly asymmetric. The equilibriu…
Carbohydrates are often key components in the formulation of extrusion pastes, yet the reasons for selection are presently empirical. The influence on paste extrusion of various types of carbohydrates, such as starch, dextrin, lactose, and glucose, have been studied and related to their water retention capacities. The…
The dinuclear Ru(III) complexes trans-[{(NH(3))(4)Ru(py)}(2)(&mgr;-L)][PF(6)](4), where py represents pyridine and L represents 1,4-dicyanamidobenzene dianion (dicyd(2)(-)) derivatives dicyd(2)(-) (1), Me(2)dicyd(2)(-) (2), Cl(2)dicyd(2)(-) (3), and Cl(4)dicyd(2)(-) (4), have been prepared and characterized by electro…
A new quaternary rare-earth sulfide has been isolated and identified. Crystals of La6MgGe2S14, as well as of the previously identified La6MgSi2S14have been grown from a mixed binary-halide eutectic flux. They both crystallize in the hexagonal space groupC66-P63, withZ=1. The crystal structures of these compounds have…
Formation of ternary complexes between Gd-DTPA, Gd-DTPA-BMA, and Gd-DOTA, used as contrast enhancement agents in MRI and the endogenously available carbonate and phosphate ions, has been demonstrated. The extent of ternary complex formation and its effect on the proton relaxation, measured at 9 MHz, rates is negligibl…
Various bacteria are able to grow aerobically or anaerobically on malonate as sole source of carbon and energy. Independent of the mechanism for energy conservation, the decarboxylation of malonate is the key reaction in the decomposition of this compound. To achieve malonate decarboxylation under physiological condit…

We report the ab initio structure solutions of C(6)H(5)OM (M = K, Rb, Cs) by high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction. The compounds, which are of interest for reactions of the Kolbe-Schmitt type, are isostructural. The crystal structures are orthorhombic, space group Pna2(1), Z = 12, with lattice parameters (a, b, c…
Abstract A systematic method is presented to synthesize reactive crystallization processes. It shows how to selectively crystallize a desired solid product(s) after a reaction step and how to use compound formation to effect separation of a mixture. The method is based on the generation of phase diagrams with liquid‐p…
Dithiolium salts, with amphipathic character, are compounds of choice for investigations of the influence of an ionic feature upon mesomorphic properties. In this way, salts bearing a branched chain have been studied by SAXS. In spite of their rod-like shape, they exhibit only columnar mesophases, the supramolecular o…
Phosphor thin films of ZnS:Mn on Si(100) have been subject to electron bombardment (0.6–4 keV) over a range of pressures from 1×10−6 to 5×10−8 Torr. Various gases including hydrogen, oxygen, and water vapor were introduced into the ambient during bombardment, to assess their effects on the phosphor surface. Auger elec…
Covers advancements in spacecraft and tactical and strategic missile systems, including subsystem design and application, mission design and analysis, materials and structures, developments in space sciences, space processing and manufacturing, space operations, and applications of space technologies to other fields.
The electronic structures of a variety of metal nonahalides, MM'X(9), with the {d(3)d(3)} configuration are examined using broken-symmetry density functional theory. Complexes containing trivalent ions of the chromium triad and tetravalent ions of the manganese triad are considered, where metal-metal interactions rang…
Heating properties of magnetite cationic liposomes (MCL) were investigated in ex vivo experiments using implanted cell pellets. The cell pellets, which consisted of rat glioma T9 cells into which MCL had been incorporated in a petri dish, were implanted subcutaneously in the left femoral region of female F344 rats. Th…
ICR studies of the interactions between methanol and the family of Mo x O y + ions ( x = 1−3, y = 1−9) in the gas phase are reported. Molybdenum oxide ions participate in four types of reactions with the CH 3 OH molecule that show rather profound similarities with the reactions of methanol over heterogeneous and homog…
In plant, the catabolism of lysine has only been studied in some detail in maize. The enzymes lysine 2-oxoglutarate reductase (also known as lysine alpha-ketoglutarate reductase; LOR) and saccharopine dehydrogenase (SDH), which convert lysine into saccharopine, and saccharopine into glutamic acid and 2-aminoadipate 6-…
Insight into the dynamic properties of alpha-lytic protease (alpha LP) has been obtained through the use of low-temperature X-ray crystallography and multiple-conformation refinement. Previous studies of alpha LP have shown that the residues around the active site are able to move significantly to accommodate substrat…
The formation, growth, and dissolution of the passive film on iron in neutral and alkaline solutions was investigated using a light reflectance technique. In this study, laser light of 325 nm was used to access the amount of light absorbed in the film and to evaluate the optical absorption coefficient. After calibrati…
