Existence and uniqueness of maximal strong solution of a 1D blood flow in a network of vessels

We study the well-posedness of a system of one-dimensional partial differential equations modeling blood flows in a network of vessels with viscoelastic walls. We prove the existence and uniqueness of maximal strong solution for this type of hyperbolic/parabolic model. We also prove a stability estimate under suitable nonlinear Robin boundary conditions.     

Identification of the precursor cluster in thermolysin crystallization solution by molecular dynamics methods

An analysis of the crystal structure of thermolysin revealed four possible precursor clusters (hexamers) of its crystal. Using the method of molecular dynamics and plots of root mean square fluctuation, root mean square deviation and radius of gyration, the most stable hexamer, which is a precursor cluster,was determined. The importance of the established structure of the thermolysin precursor cluster for determining the mechanism of crystal formation is shown.

Improving the Accuracy of Small-Molecule Crystal Structures Solved from Powder X-Ray Diffraction Data by Using External Sources

Structural analysis using powder X-ray diffraction data has overcome many obstacles and nowadays is readily applicable for structural analysis of all types of compounds and materials. Being less straightforward than single crystal diffraction, it requires significant users’ input and consequently, implementation of standardized tools to assess the accuracy of crystal structures. This article discusses potential errors in crystal structure solution and refinement of small-molecule structures obtained from PXRD data. Moreover, it proposes how accuracy of these structures can be improved by using high-quality PXRD data, complementary external analytical techniques, knowledge stored in crystal structure databases, as well as an approach to search the parameter space to avoid local minima in testing different sets of geometry restraints.     

High-Performance Organic Field-effect Transistors from Functionalized Zinc Meso-Porphyrins

A series of new zinc porphyrins were synthesized, and their charge transport property was tuned by introducing various groups. Triarylamine was introduced to the porphyrin moiety at the meso-position as an electron donor, enhancing the charge carrier mobility. All the synthesized zinc porphyrins are thermally stable with a decomposition temperature over 178 °C. High frontier molecular orbitals levels of these compounds make them stable donor materials. SEM analysis of zinc porphyrins fabricated by spin-coating resulted in diversely self-assembled films. Field-effect transistors were fabricated using bottom-gate/top-contact architecture (BGTC) by solution-processable technique. The higher charge carrier mobility of 5.17 cm²/Vs with on/off of 10⁶ was obtained for trifluoromethyl substituted compound due to better molecular packing. In addition, GIXRD analysis revealed zinc porphyrins films crystalline nature, which supports its better charge carrier mobility. The present investigation has validated that zinc porphyrin building blocks are an attractive candidate for p-channel OFET devices.     

Tribo-corrosion behavior of Zn-Ni-Cu and Zn-Ni-Cu-TiB2 coated mild steel

In this investigation , Zn-Ni-Cu and Zn-Ni-Cu-TiB₂ were coated on a mild steel specimen using a high velocity oxy fuel thermal spray (HVOF) process. The surface morphology and coated powder distribution of coated specimens were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray-Elemental mapping. The pin-on-disc (ASTM G99-17) method was used to examine the wear resistance of the coated and uncoated mild steel specimens. Both coated Zn-Ni-Cu and Zn-Ni-Cu-TiB2 on mild steel saw reduced wear volume loss than uncoated mild steel. The coated samples of Zn-Ni-Cu and Zn-Ni-Cu-TiB2 on Mild Steel were put through a scratch test to determine the adhesion strength of the coating with the substrate. The adhesion strength of coated Zn-Ni-Cu and Zn-Ni-Cu TiB2 mild steel was higher than that of untreated mild steel, indicating a solid link between the coating and substrate and minimal delamination. Using the Vickers hardness test to measure the hardness caused by the coating, it was shown that coated samples of Zn-Ni-Cu and Zn-Ni-Cu-TiB2 coated mild steel had significantly higher hardness than uncoated mild steel. Using ASTM G1-03 and ASTM G-31 standards, a 0.2 M HCl immersion cycle test was conducted for 28 days to test the corrosion resistance of coatings in an acidic media (672Hrs). When compared to Zn-Ni-Cu and Zn-Ni-Cu-TiB2 coated mild steel, the weight loss for the uncoated mild steel was significantly larger. Additionally, XRD examination showed that coated samples had less rust on their surface than uncoated samples. Both Zn-Ni-Cu and Zn-Ni-Cu-TiB2 on Mild Steel were anti-corrosive, as evidenced by increased corrosion potential and reduced corrosion current density when compared to uncoated mild steel, according to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)/Tafel study in 0.2 MHCl. The outcomes of each test were very encouraging and demonstrated the durability of these coatings against wear and corrosion.
