Araneoid spiders use specialized abdominal glands to produce up to seven different protein-based silks/glues that have diverse physical properties. The fibroin sequences that encode aciniform fibers (wrapping silk) and the mechanical properties of these fibers have not been characterized previously. To gain a better u…

A superhydrophobic ZnO thin film was fabricated by the Au-catalyzed chemical vapor deposition method. The surface of the film exhibits hierarchical structure with nanostructures on sub-microstructures. The water contact angle (CA) was 164.3 degrees, turning into a superhydrophilic one (CA < 5 degrees) after UV illumin…

Abstract A detailed description of the displacive transformation mode of the formation of plate-like τ-phase in MnAl (containing a small amount of carbon) is given. The plate-like τ-phase forms in a stepwise mode from the ɛ-phase. Crystallographic correspondence is transmitted from the ɛ- to the τ-phase during the who…

Diffraction of an obliquely incident TE-polarized Gaussian beams by N equally spaced slits (finite grating) with conducting substrate is treated. The substrate can be either vacuum or conductor. The diffracted and scattered patterns, the transmission and reflection coefficients, and the normally diffracted energy are…

The second generation liposomal anticancer drug is characterized by long-circulating half-life, which leads to passive tumor targeting and improved antitumor activity. Its development is based mainly on the surface coating of polymers and thus reducing its clearance from reticuloendothelial system. Is it possible to f…

Natural alunite and kaolin minerals obtained from West Anatolia were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) in natural and γ-irradiated states at room temperature and at 113 K. The paramagnetic centres at ambient temperature in natural alunite were attributed to the ĊH2OH, , , and [AlO4]0 radicals. In n…

Magnetic material with first order phase transition has been studied from the view point of magnetic refrigerant. Gd/sub 5/(Si/sub x/Ge/sub 1-x/)/sub 4/ has field induced metamagnetic transition, whose temperature can be varied by changing Si concentration. It was shown that suitable transition temperature for hydroge…

Samples of interstitial free (IF) steel buried in MgO castable bonded by calcium aluminate cement (CA) in graphite crucibles were heated at 1600°C for 90 min. Total oxygen content (TOC) of the steel was examined after heating and the refractory was investigated by SEM and EDS. It was found that TOC was higher in IF st…

In order to recycle the abandoned Nd–Fe–B sintered magnets, we attempted to develop a high coercive magnetic powder for bonded magnets from the Nd–Fe–B sintered magnet scraps. It was found that the coercivity of the powders obtained from the Nd–Fe–B sintered magnet scraps could be fully recovered by the thermally acti…
