The term nanocomposite refers to organic:inorganic composites where one phase, typically the inorganic phase, has dimensions on the nanoscale. Several authors have noted the potential benefit of biomedical application of nanocomposite technology, and have suggested using quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) as an organ…

In this work, the electromagnetic interaction of plane waves with infinitely long metamaterial-coated conducting cylinders is considered. Different from "conjugate" pairing of double-positive (DPS) and double-negative (DNG) or epsilon-negative (ENG) and mu-negative (MNG) concentric cylinders, achieving transparency an…

The oxidation potential of 2',3'-O-isopropylidene-5'-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)adenosine and its change upon pairing with the complementary base thymidine have been studied in chloroform solution by voltammetric methods. Differential pulse and cyclic voltammetry of an equimolar solution of the two nucleosides show tw…

We report on the magnetic and transport studies of hafnium oxide thin films grown by pulsed-laser deposition on sapphire substrates under different oxygen pressures, ranging from 10 −7 to 10 −1 mbar. Some physical properties of these thin films appear to depend on the oxygen pressure during growth: the film grown at l…

Random first-order transition theory is used to determine the role of attractive and repulsive interactions in the dynamics of supercooled liquids. Self-consistent phonon theory, an approximate mean field treatment consistent with random first-order transition theory, is used to treat individual glassy configurations,…

Nonreciprocal directional dichroism, termed the optical magnetoelectric (OME) effect, has been observed in patterned superlattice (SL) composed of perovskite oxides, LaMnO3, SrMnO3, and LaAlO3. Such a tricolor SL with ferromagnetic interfaces is expected to artificially break both space-inversion and time-reversal sym…

Lime is one of the most widely used and cheapest alkalizing agents employed worldwide. It is often applied in chemical processes in a slaked or calcium hydroxide or slurry form. The term “calcinations of limestone” refers to the process of thermal decomposition into quick lime and carbon dioxide. It is frequently refe…

The effect of particle addition to a liquid or liquid surface on the sonochemiluminescence (SCL) was investigated using a luminol aqueous solution under ultrasonic treatment at 154 kHz. The acoustic-amplitude dependence of the SCL intensity was measured, in addition to capturing images of luminescent spatial patterns.…

The postprocesses that occur in coelectrospun polymer nanofibers are investigated. The high rate of solvent evaporation during the electrospinning of fibers results in such a rapid formation of the shell of the tubular nanofibers, that the polymer molecules composing the fibers are in a nonequilibrium state. This stre…
