Helicobacter pylori VacA induces multiple effects on susceptible cells, including vacuolation, mitochondrial damage, inhibition of cell growth, and enhanced cyclooxygenase-2 expression. To assess the ability of H. pylori to modulate the production of inflammatory mediators, we examined the mechanisms by which VacA enh…

Abstract Thin films and nanotubes of iron oxide are deposited using atomic layer deposition (ALD) on Si(100) and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), respectively. Ferrocene, Fe(Cp)2, and oxygen are used as precursors. Successful depositions are carried out in the temperature range 350–500 °C on Si(100), while all depositions…

A family of primary amines has been catalytically dehydrogenated to nitriles by [C 6 H 3 -2,6-(OP t Bu 2 ) 2 ]IrH 2 using tert -butylethylene as a hydrogen acceptor. The catalytic mechanism has been investigated by a series of kinetic and isotopic labeling experiments, in addition to the isolation of intermediates alo…

The conjugating green algae represent a lineage of charophyte green algae known for their structural diversity and unusual mode of sexual reproduction, conjugation. These algae are ubiquitous in freshwater environments, where they are often important primary producers, but few studies have investigated evolutionary re…

We present experimental investigations of the spatial and temporal evolution of particle migration in pressure driven flows of Brownian particle suspensions. Binary suspensions of 1.4 and 3.0μm diameter colloidal particles are pumped through a 50×500μm2 rectangular-cross-section capillary tube. Shear rate gradients ca…

The mechanism involved with (1) energy and electron transfer by C60 in the aqueous phase during UV irradiation and (2) subsequent production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen and superoxide radical anion was investigated. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study showed that C60 embedded in mic…

Zirconium carbide (ZrC) coatings were fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using ZrCl 4 , CH 4 /C 3 H 6 , and H 2 as precursors. Both thermodynamic calculation results and the film compositions at different temperatures indicated that zirconium and carbon deposited separately during the CVD process. The ZrC d…

Polycondensation material PIM-1 has attracted the attention of researchers owing to its high transport parameters in gas separation and a high free volume. The pervaporation characteristics of PIM-1 have been systematically studied. Lower aliphatic alcohols (CH3OH, C2H5OH, and n-C4H9OH) and water were selected as obje…

This review examines the nonthermal physical mechanisms by which ultrasound can harm tissue in postnatal patients. First the physical nature of the more significant interactions between ultrasound and tissue is described, followed by an examination of the existing literature with particular emphasis on the pressure th…

Polymers have emerged as powerful biological tools; however, their ability to gain access to the intracellular environment is limited. To expand the biological utility of polymer scaffolds, we have synthesized an internalization domain using the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). A polymer functionalized w…

The transition state (TS) structure of MutY-catalyzed DNA hydrolysis was solved using multiple kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements. MutY is a base excision repair enzyme which cleaves adenine from 8-oxo-G:A mismatches in vivo, and also from G:A mismatches in vitro. TS analysis of G:A-DNA hydrolysis revealed a st…

We have investigated the propagation of transverse domain walls in magnetic nanowires under axial and transverse magnetic fields using three-dimensional micromagnetic modeling. Transverse magnetic fields change the domain wall width and, below the Walker field, either increase or decrease the domain wall velocity depe…

This paper discusses the potential of the intermediate band solar cell (IBSC) concept to improve the efficiency of thin-film chalcopyrite solar cells. The results show that solar cells based on CuGaS2, with a radiative limiting efficiency of 46.7%, exhibit the highest potential. A simple method for the identification…

Abstract Visual aesthetic has always played a vital role for the success of many products. This includes colours and glossiness and metal appearance which is often achieved using surface coatings. Present coating techniques do, however, have limitations. It is difficult to reach very bright and brilliant colours, colo…

In this contribution, we adopt an essential-state description for octupolar (AD3 or DA3) chromophores (where A is an electron-acceptor and D is an electron-donor) that also accounts for the coupling of electrons to molecular vibrations and for solvation effects. The first excited state of octupolar chromophores is alw…
