In the magnetic Eden model (MEM), particles have a spin and grow in contact with a thermal bath. Although Ising-like interactions affect the growth dynamics, deposited spins are frozen and not allowed to flip. This review article focuses on recent developments and future prospects, such as spontaneous switching phenom…

Abstract The Paternò–Büchi reactions of tetrahydrobenzofuranols with benzophenone were investigated to reveal site- and stereoselectivity in oxetane formation reactions. Both selectivities were found to be largely dependent on the reaction temperature. The trans selectivity increased with a decrease in temperature, an…

Two forms of alpha 1 acid glycoprotein (orosomucoid) have been studied using small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering techniques; in one form all the five glycan chains were biantennary, while in the other they were either triantennary or tetraantennary. The radius of gyration RG was found to be sensitive to salt for…

A method is reported for the modification of lipids in situ in chloroplast membrane by which a homogeneous, water-soluble catalyst Pd(QS)2 (QS, sulphonated alizarine; C14H6O7NaS) is incorporated into the thylakoids of isolated chloroplast. The catalyst itself did not affect the photosynthetic activity but caused an ex…

Superparamagnetic nanocomposite particles composed of maghemite nanocrystal (ca.15 nm) and deposited Pt nanoclusters (ca. 2.5 nm) were synthesized by a low temperature catalytic method. The magnetic properties of iron oxides species can be easily tuned with different redox atmosphere in the presence of Pt nanoclusters…

Three types of metamorphic titanite have been noted in a metarodingite pod within the tectonized and serpentinized peridotite portion of the Penjwin ophiolite sequence within the Iraqi Zagros Thrust Zone (IZTZ), northeastern Iraq. Type I metamorphic titanite occurs as subhedral to anhedral finegrained disseminated cry…

Alkylketene dimers (AKDs) and triglyceride waxes form fractal surfaces spontaneously and show super water-repellent property. Spontaneous formation of fractal structures on their surfaces takes place when the meta-stable crystalline phase of the waxes transforms to the thermodynamically stable form of crystal. The tri…
