We provide a first-principles methodology to obtain converged results for the lattice energy of crystals of small, neutral organic molecules. In particular, we determine the lattice energy of crystalline benzene using an additive system based on the individual interaction energies of benzene dimers. Enthalpy correctio…

Numerical studies play a major role in the understanding and prediction of plasticity induced crack closure (PICC). However, the available numerical models can be considered simplifications of reality as they consider discrete crack propagations, relatively high fatigue crack growth rates (FCGR), sharp cracks, and pro…

BACKGROUND: The platelet gel is made by embedding concentrate platelets within a semisolid (gel) network of polymerized fibrin. It is believed that this blood component will be used more and more in the treatment of several clinical conditions and as an adjunctive material in tissue engineering. Several systems are av…

Abstract Glyoxalated soy flour adhesives for wood particleboard added with a much smaller proportion of glyoxalated lignin or tannin and without any addition of either formaldehyde or formaldehyde‐based resin are shown to yield results satisfying the relevant standard specifications for interior wood boards. Adhesive…

Myostatin, a transforming growth factor-beta superfamily ligand, negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth. Generation of the mature signaling peptide requires cleavage of pro-myostatin by a proprotein convertase, which is thought to occur constitutively in the Golgi apparatus. In serum, mature myostatin is found in…

The Au∕Cr∕Zr+-implanted-ZrO2∕n+-Si sandwiched structure exhibits reversible bipolar resistive switching behavior under dc sweeping voltage. The resistance ratio (Rratio) of high resistive state and low resistive state is as large as five orders of magnitude with 0.5V readout bias. Zr+-implanted-ZrO2 films exhibit good…

Ge ∕ Au bilayer thin films were fabricated by magnetron sputtering method, the temperature dependence of resistance from room temperature to 500°C and concentration depth profiles are measured. From the temperature dependence of resistance measurement, we found two phase change phenomena which occurred at 175 and 360°…

Abstract The effect of α‐ and β‐nucleating agents (NA) of various amounts on the fracture behavior of polypropylene‐co‐ethylene (CPP) was evaluated using the essential work of fracture (EWF) method. The specific EWF values of CPPs incorporated with α‐NA of different amount were all lower than that of pure CPP, while t…

Abstract It is shown that magnetometry can be employed as an effective tool to control the content of a ferromagnetic constituent in nanocarbon materials. We propose a thermochemical treatment protocol to achieve extensive cleaning of the source nanocarbon materials from ferromagnetic refuses.

Abstract Molybdenum(II) complexes [MoX(CO)2(η3‐allyl)(CH3CN)2] (X = Cl or Br) were encapsulated in an aluminium‐pillared natural clay or a porous clay heterostructure and allowed to react with bidentate diimine ligands. All the materials obtained were characterised by several solid‐state techniques. Powder XRD, and 27…

A liquid in contact with a nanoporous Au film forms a halo of constant width around the droplet. Due to the large surface area-to-volume ratio, one would expect either complete wetting or rejection of the liquid. Instead, a stable halo width is observed, depending on pore size, void fraction, film thickness, and the l…

Time of flight low energy ion scattering is used to quantitatively characterize the growth mode of Au deposited on B. Information on the filling factor (surface area coverage) is deduced from the yield of backscattered ions and the spectrum height of scattered neutrals. From the variation of the filling factor with th…

Electron beam irradiation studies on 4′-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) have been carried out. Dielectric measurements demonstrate that even a low level of irradiation (beyond a critical dose of ∼6kGy) results in a dramatic increase in the transverse component of the dielectric permittivity, and a corresponding decrease…

We have investigated structural and functional properties of (110) La2∕3Ca1∕3MnO3 films grown on (110) SrTiO3 substrates. We have observed that there is an anisotropic in-plane lattice strain relaxation with faster relaxation along the [1−10] direction than along the [001] one, which leads to an anisotropic in-plane s…

We have fabricated single crystal-like BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films by flux-mediated epitaxy using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The Bi–Cu–O flux composition and its thickness were optimized using composition spread, thickness gradient, and temperature gradient libraries. The optimized BFO thin films grown with this techn…

Abstract The synthesis of face‐to‐face meso‐substituted bis(corrole) systems was revisited. By using a new synthetic pathway, the reaction was generalized to any type of linker and the yield was considerably increased. The dyads were obtained in yields up to 20 % from a dialdehyde linker and dipyrromethane in a one‐st…
