The role of KOH in the one-stage KOH-activation of rice straws was studied using FTIR, XPS, TGA, and DTG techniques. It was found that at the impregnation, KOH extracts to some extent the lignin component from rice straw and reacts with hydroxyl groups. On heat-treatment, the impregnated KOH facilitates intermolecular…

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TyrH) catalyzes the hydroxylation of tyrosine to dihydroxyphenylalanine. In the proposed mechanism, a ferryl-oxo species attacks the aromatic ring of tyrosine, forming a cationic intermediate. However, no significant isotope effect is found for wild-type TyrH when 3,5-2H2-tyrosine is used as a su…

Strong blue emission is observed from Ti-doped MgAl 2 O 4 , yellow emission from a Mn-doped one and white light emission from a V-doped one. The optimum condition to obtain the strongest emission was studied by changing the doping density and growing atmosphere. The microscopic models for these emission processes are…

We have developed a new formulation of the coupled-wave method (CWM) to handle aperiodic lamellar structures, and it will be referred to as the aperiodic coupled-wave method (ACWM). The space is still divided into three regions, but the fields are written by use of their Fourier integrals instead of the Fourier series…

Abstract Polypropylene homopolymer melts containing up to 50 percent by weight of talc filler (24 vol%) were tested on a Gottfert Rheotens melt strength testing unit. Melt strength and drawability parameters were measured from these tests to evaluate changes in the extensional behavior of the melt induced by filler ad…

AISI type 304L stainless steel (SS) was assessed for its corrosion resistance in nitric acid solution. The effect of variation in nitric acid concentration (1 to 10N) and temperature (298 K, 313 K, 333 K, 348 K) on the corrosion resistance of 304L SS was investigated using potentiodynamic polarisation studies. The cor…

Both lighter- and hydrophobic heavier-than-liquid particles will float on liquid–air surfaces. Capillary forces cause the particles to cluster in typical situations identified here. This kind of clustering causes particles to segregate into islands and bands of high concentrations in thin liquid films rimming the insi…

Tensile strength and creep behavior of a two‐dimensional (2D) laminate carbon–carbon composite (C/C) were examined from room temperature to 2773 K in an inert atmosphere. The tensile strength of the C/C was monotonically enhanced with increasing test temperatures. In particular, significant improvement was observed at…

Protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) catalyzes the addition of a farnesyl chain onto the sulfur of a C-terminal cysteine of a protein substrate. Magnesium ions enhance farnesylation catalyzed by FTase by several hundred-fold, with a KMg value of 4 mM. The magnesium ion is proposed to coordinate the diphosphate leaving…

Over time and under stressing conditions proteins are susceptible to a variety of spontaneous covalent modifications. One of the more commonly occurring types of protein damage is deamidation; the conversion of asparagines into aspartyls and isoaspartyls. The physiological significance of isoaspartyl formation is emph…

A synthesis method to prepare a fully grafted polydiphenylamine (PDPA) with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) through a “graft onto” process is reported. Three graft copolymers, PDPA- g -PEO-350, PDPA- g -PEO-750, and PDPA- g -PEO-2000, were obtained by substituting the tosyloyl end group of tosylate PEO with an amine-functi…
