Migration of border cells during Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis is a good model system for investigating the genetic requirements for cell migration in vivo. We present a sensitized loss-of-function screen used to identify new genes required in border cells for their migration. Chromosomes bearing FRTs on all four…

Mono- and dialkylated polyethylenimines (PEI-1R and PEI-2R) were used for the facile synthesis of gold nanoplates with a preferential growth direction along the Au (111) plane. It was found that polymer hydrophobicity greatly influenced the nanoparticle morphology. PEI-1R in the acidic aqueous solution with a smaller…

We theoretically demonstrate the formation of multiple bi-stability regions in the temperature pattern on the interface between a cuprous oxide quantum well and DCM2:CA:PS organic compound. The Frenkel molecular exciton of the DCM2 is brought into resonance with the $1S$ quadrupole Wannier-Mott exciton in the cuprous…

In the work we demonstrate the formation of new type of polariton on the interface between a cuprous oxide slab and a polystyrene micro-sphere placed on the slab. The evanescent field of the resonant whispering gallery mode (WGM) has a substantial gradient, and therefore effectively couples with the quadrupole $1S$ ex…

We have investigated the dynamics of phenylene rings in the engineering thermoplastic bisphenol-A poly(hydroxyether) -- phenoxy -- below its glass transition temperature by means of neutron scattering techniques. A relatively wide dynamic range has been covered thanks to the combination of two different types of neutr…

Abstract Crosslinking is an effective way to improve the properties of poly(vinyl chloride). A crosslinking agent consisting of R ‐glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH560) has been used for the first time in order to introduce crosslinking into rigid poly(vinyl chloride). Different thermal stabilizers (organotin, Ca/Zn…

The development of new high power EUV sources and EUV space imaging requires optics having specific properties which depend on applications and operating conditions. These both applications are very different in the working multilayers environment. For the high power sources, multilayers are submitted to short pulses…

Fabricating drug particles for therapeutic delivery and imaging presents important challenges in the design of the particle surfaces. Drug nanoparticle surfaces are currently functionalized with site-specific targeting ligands, biocompatible polymers, or fluorophore-polymer conjugates for specific imaging. However, if…

The in situ time-of-flight neutron-diffraction measurements captured well the martensitic transformation behavior of the Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys under uniaxial stress fields. We found that a small uniaxial stress applied during phase transformation dramatically disturbed the distribution of variants…

Abstract Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films have been irradiated by electron beam in vacuum at various temperatures ranging from room temperature up to temperatures far above the melting temperature. Changes of the chemical structure have been analyzed by 19 F solid‐state NMR and IR spectroscopy. The concentration o…

DNA mag Corrol, Peroxynitrit nicht: Wasserlösliches Mangancorrol ist ein viel besserer Katalysator für die Zersetzung von Peroxynitrit (HOONO) als das analoge Porphyrin. Auch die Wechselwirkungen der beiden Komplexe mit DNA unterscheiden sich deutlich. Positiv geladene Corrole könnten sich somit als sehr nützlich für…

A parametric equation for describing polarization in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) is presented in terms of experimentally measurable parameters. The equation explicitly describes activation and concentration polarizations at the two electrodes, and the ohmic loss as a function of current density. Using the equation a…

Polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxane (POSS) monomer was fixed to a silicon surface by reacting octakis(glycidyldimethylsiloxy)octasilsesquioxane (OG-POSS) with the OH-terminated silicon surface in the presence of tin (II) chloride. The POSS cage layer then served as a nanoporous interlayer to reduce the dielectric cons…

To investigate the reflection of light in quasiregular dielectrics, we study here the optical properties of porous-silicon-based Fibonacci and Thue–Morse heterostructures. The multilayered systems are fabricated in such a way that each element in the two-block substitutional sequence has a polytype structure. Both del…

Abstract A new bifunctional coupling agent with an oxazinone and a lactamate group is synthesized. It is shown by means of model reactions that in the presence of aliphatic hydroxy compounds the reaction of the coupling agent is highly selective. At 220 °C, a conversion of the lactamate group of about 90% is observed…
