The reaction of ethanol has been investigated on the surface of Au–Rh/CeO2 by temperature programmed desorption (TPD), infrared spectroscopy and in steady state conditions. Most of adsorbed ethanol is found in the form of ethoxides (ν O–C at 1045 and 1096 cm−1). Heating the surface resulted in the transformation of et…

We develop a novel approach that combines the ideas of inherent structures, free-volume theory and geometrical packing properties to derive a general theory to understanding the complex dynamics of glass-forming liquids, granular packings and amorphous solids. We show that the thermodynamical properties of these syste…

The synthesis and characterization of a new series of AABB-type polyamides based on l -arabinitol and xylitol are described. These linear polyamides were obtained by reaction of the aldaric acids or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, with sugar-based diamine or aliphatic diamines. The pentaric diacids were activated as the…

The structure of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) reductase in complex with the nitroaromatic substrate picric acid determined previously at 1.55 A resolution indicated additional electron density between the indole ring of residue Trp-102 and the nitro group at C-6 of picrate. The data suggested the presence of an…

Ternary cadmium selenium telluride quantum dots (CdSe(1-x)Tex, x = mole fraction of tellurium) have been prepared for potential use as constant-size biolabels with tunable fluorescence emission in the far-red and near-infrared (650-850 nm) spectral range. In contrast to particle size tuning reported for binary dots, w…

For materials such as stainless steel, it is well known that the surface condition (roughness) can have an effect on corrosion loss or pitting as a function of exposure time. Although some isolated observations exist of this effect for mild steel under marine immersion, there appears to have been no systematic investi…

Ultrasonic attenuation in copper and copper-aluminum samples is measured as a function of frequency and average grain size. At low frequencies the attenuation scales quadratically with the frequency and linearly with average grain size. In addition, there is a large difference in attenuation between powder metallurgy…

Developing the texture of ceramics is one of the effective ways for improving properties. Although the magnetic susceptibility of nonmagnetic materials is very small, there is a possibility to control the crystal orientation using a high magnetic field due to a magnetic anisotropy. In this study, Si 3 N 4 ceramics wer…
