The relationship between amino acid sequence, three-dimensional structure and biological function of proteins is one of the most intensely pursued areas of molecular biology and biochemistry. In this context, the three-dimensional structure has a pivotal role, its knowledge being essential to understand the physical,…
The creep viscosity of chemical‐precursor‐derived silicon carbonitride (SiCN), which is known to remain predominantly amorphous at temperatures below 1400°C, was measured in the temperature range 1090‐1280°C. Experiments were done in uniaxial compression at constant loads in pure nitrogen atmosphere. The creep behavio…
Equilibrium phase relationships in the ZnO‐In 2 O 3 system were determined between 1100° and 1400°C using solid‐state reaction techniques and X‐ray diffractometry. In addition to ZnO and In 2 O 3 , nine homologous compounds, Zn k In 2 O k +3 (where k = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15), were observed. Electrical condu…
Abstract Bis(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide (TESPT) was found to affect the curing characteristics and the physical properties of styrene-butadiene (SBR) gum rubber and xin situ silica-filled SBR vulcanizates. Silica incorporated by the in situ sol-gel reaction of tetraethoxysilane with TESPT showed a much higher…
In freshwater environments such as river and stream bottoms, rocks and submerged vegetation are covered with a biological felt (also called a periphyton, microbial mat, biofilm, etc.) that is susceptible to calcification. Compilation of an extensive bibliography and our own observations have allowed the identification…
Random aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters synthesized from 1,4-butanediol, adipic acid, and terephthalic acid (BTA) have excellent thermal and mechanical properties and are biodegradable by mixed cultures (e.g., in compost). Over 20 BTA-degrading strains were isolated by using compost as a microbial source. Among these m…
Values of the transmittance T(s) and the phaseretardation D were recorded in situ at two angles duringthe growth of thin films of tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, andzirconium oxide for deposition angles theta(nu) in the range40 degrees -70 degrees . Column angles for the same films were determinedex situ from scanning…
This review is devoted to the description of recent experimental results concerning the nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor-doped glasses SDGs with particular emphasis on the regime in which the energy of the incident photon is smaller than the energy gap. A considerable theoretical and experimental effort h…
The anionic ruthenium cluster carbonylates [Ru6C(CO)16]2- or [H2Ru10(CO)25]2- interspersed with bis(triphenylphosphino)iminium counterions (PPN+) are incorporated from solution into the pores of MCM-41 mesoporous silica (3 nanometers in diameter), where they form tightly packed arrays. These arrays were shown by high-…
We present results based on local-spin-density calculations of a computational search for half-metallic (HM) antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials within the class of double-perovskite-structure oxides $\mathrm{La}{M}^{\ensuremath{'}}{M}^{\ensuremath{''}}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ that incorporate open-shell $3d$ (or $4d)$ transit…
Purification of single-shell nanotubes is essential if reliable information about their physical and chemical properties is to be obtained. Using the present synthetic techniques, samples typically contain 30% or more amorphous carbon and catalytic metal particle impurities. An extremely simple and efficient method of…
The phase distribution for ceramic coatings formed by microarc oxidation (MAO) on 2024 aluminum alloy was investigated using X‐ray diffraction. The results showed that the ceramic coatings mainly consisted of α‐Al 2 O 3 and γ‐Al 2 O 3 phases. The percentage of α‐Al 2 O 3 gradually increased from the external surface t…
Amide and ester coupling reactions of ω-functionalized monolayer-protected gold cluster molecules (MPCs) are an exceptionally efficient avenue to a diverse variety of polyfunctionalized MPCs starting from a small subset of ω-functionalized materials. In this paper, coupling reactions have been employed to produce 13 M…
The trigonal pyramidal complex [Mn 4 O 3 Cl(O 2 CCH 3 ) 3 (dbm) 3 ], where dbm - is the monoanion of dibenzoylmethane, functions as a single-molecule magnet. High-field EPR data are presented for an oriented microcrystalline sample to characterize the electronic structure of the Mn IV Mn III 3 complex. These data show…
Radiolysis of mixed Au III /Ag I solutions at different dose rates is examined. The progressive evolution with dose of the UV−visible absorption spectra of radiation-induced metal clusters is discussed and compared with those calculated by Mie theory. The clusters have been also observed by transmission electron micro…
We show that linear polarized x-ray-absorption spectroscopy can be used to measure the temperature and thickness dependence of magnetic moments in NiO thin films. We demonstrate that both the long-range order and the nearest-neighbor spin-spin correlations can be revealed. NiO (100) films with thicknesses of 5, 10, an…
The freezing process in lead magnesium niobate (PMN) has been investigated by measurements of the frequency-dependent complex dielectric constant and its third harmonic component. The linear complex dielectric susceptibility was analyzed by a temperature-frequency plot in order to determine the temperature dependence…
Dendrimer-like star polymers, a novel type of molecular architecture, have been synthesized. The architecture of the new polymers resembles that of three-dimensional spherical dendrimers as well as classical star polymers. The controlled structures, based on aliphatic polyesters, are synthesized by a divergent growth…
Cathepsin K (EC 3.4.22.38) is a recently described enzyme that has been shown to cleave type I collagen in its triple helix. The aim of this study was to determine if it also cleaves type II collagen in the triple helix and to identify the helical cleavage site(s) in types I and II collagens. Soluble human and bovine…
Abstract A new class of thermally irreversible and fatigue resistant photochromic molecules named diarylethenes has been developed. Theoretical consideration based on the state correlation diagrams of electrocyclic reactions revealed that the thermal irreversibility is attained by introducing aryl groups that have low…
