The remarkable polymorphism exhibited by the linear tricobalt compounds, Co3(mu3-dpa)4Cl2 and Co3(mu3-dpa)4Br2, can be explained using a model involving three distinct electronic states. At high temperatures, symmetric and unsymmetric forms arise from the population of doublet (2A) and quartet (4B) states, respectivel…
We introduce a new scoring method for calculation of alignments of optical maps. Missing cuts, false cuts, and sizing errors present in optical maps are addressed by our alignment score through calculation of corresponding likelihoods. The size error model is derived through the application of Central Limit Theorem an…
Nanotechnologies are among the fastest growing areas of scientific research, and have important applications in a wide variety of fields. At the same time, scientists and regulators are concerned about the potential health and environmental risks related to the widespread production and use of the nanomaterials create…
The preparation process and upconversion luminescence of the Er(3+)-doped glass ceramics containing Ba(2)LaF(7) nanocrystals were investigated. The formation of Ba(2)LaF(7) nanocrystals in the glass ceramics was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Er(3+)-doped glass ceramics containing Ba(2)LaF(7) nanocrystals exhibited h…
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: The generation of a functional, non-immunogenic, non-thrombogenic construct based on autologous cells seeded onto an acellular extracellular matrix is the major goal in heart valve tissue engineering. The study aim was to identify culturing conditions required to achieve a stable endot…
This study investigates the potential of naturally occurring biodegradable fibers for use as building thermal insulation. The use of biodegradable building thermal insulation would alleviate the environmental problems presently associated with the disposal of currently used man-made non-biodegradable thermal insulatio…
Abstract We report on an experimental study of the temperature dependent band gap shift and the homogeneous line broadening of the excitonic luminescence in ZnO. This data is derived from photoluminescence (PL) measurements at temperatures from T = 10–290 K and fitting the PL line shape with a theoretical model for th…
The objective of this study is to enhance the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in nanodimensional scaffolds. The proliferation and differentiation of MSC was investigated in a three-dimensional network of nanofibers formed by self-assembly of peptide amphiphile (PA) molecules. PA was s…
Thorough studies of protein interactions with stimulus responsive polymers are necessary to provide a better understanding of their applications in biosensors and biomaterials. In this study, protein behavior on a thermoresponsive polymer surface, plasma polymerized N-isopropyl acrylamide (ppNIPAM), is investigated us…
ABSTRACT The feasibility of using cranberry pomace extract as a new film‐forming material was studied. Cranberry pomaces were extracted using hot water. Low methoxyl pectin (LMP) or high methoxyl pectin (HMP) at a concentration of 0.50% or 0.75% (w/w) and 0.25% (w/w) sorbitol or glycerol was incorporated into film‐for…
A new oxide, BiInO 3, was prepared using a high-pressure high-temperature technique at 6 GPa and 1273 K. BiInO 3 has the GdFeO 3 -type perovskite structure, but crystallizes in the polar space group Pna 2 1 . Structure parameters of BiInO 3 were refined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data ( Z = 4; a = 5.9546…
State-of-the-art tissue engineered heart valves are not strong enough to withstand aortic blood pressure levels. When a strong and slowly degrading scaffold is used, the starting position of valvular tissue engineering is a stronger valve and seeded cells are allowed more time to create a strong extracellular matrix.…
The ability of Chromohalobacter marismortui to precipitate carbonate and phosphate minerals has been demonstrated for the first time. Mineral precipitation in both solid and liquid media at different salts concentrations and different magnesium/calcium ratios occurred whereas crystal formation was not observed in the…
[reaction: see text] A facile synthetic route has been developed to convert an electron-rich, sterically hindered dialkylaminodienone into a conjugated dialkylaminotrienal with good yield. The derived dialkylaminotetraene-type nonlinear optical chromophores possess an all-trans conformation and can be functionalized w…
Persulfurated arenes have been known for about 50 years but they were underexploited in chemistry in spite of facile, mild, and high-yielding syntheses. Their properties (redox potentials, UV/Vis absorption, conductivity, nonlinear optical properties, etc.) are mainly due to the aromaticity of the ring with sp2-hybrid…
Purpose To evaluate the effect of natural rosemary oil as non toxic inhibitor on the corrosion of steel in H 3 PO 4 media at various temperatures. Design/methodology/approach The oil was hydro‐distilled. The oil was used as inhibitor in various corrosion tests. Gravimetric and electrochemical techniques were used to c…
This study demonstrated that engineered polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases can be employed as molecular tools to covalently immobilize enzymes at the PHA granule surface. The beta-galactosidase was fused to the N terminus of the class II PHA synthase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The open reading frame was confirmed…
This contribution is focused on applications of spectroscopic methods for the precise control of deposition processes. Besides a monochromator system with a moving grating for the deep ultraviolet/vacuum ultraviolet (DUV/VUV) spectral range, two approaches are presented for online spectrophotometers with CCD arrays. T…
Purpose To appraise the inhibiting effect of Ocimum basilicum extract on aluminium corrosion in 2 M HCl and 2 M KOH solutions, respectively, at 30 and 60°C. Design/methodology/approach Corrosion rates were determined using the gas‐volumetric technique and the values obtained in absence and presence of extract was used…
ABSTRACT The effect of moisture sorption on stability of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films at food‐packaging conditions, obtained by different humidities (11% to 98% RH) and temperatures (5 °C and 25 °C), was investigated by decrease in number average molecular weight ( M n ) and loss of tensile strength. Hydrolysis of th…
