Classical and nonlinear buckling analyses of spherical sandwich shells

The buckling and initial postbuckling behavior of clamped shallow spherical sandwich shells with dissimilar face sheets under a uniform pressure is studied. The numerical results show that the buckling and initial post-buckling behavior of clamped shallow spherical sandwich shells with dissimilar face sheets is similar to that of the corresponding homogeneous shell.

HOLDITCH THEOREM FOR THE CLOSED SPACE CURVES IN LORENTZIAN 3-SPACE

In this article, we give the area formula of the closed projection curve of a closed space curve in Lorentzian 3-space L3. For the 1-parameter closed Lorentzian space motion in L3, we obtain a Holditch Theorem taking into account the Lorentzian matrix multiplication for the closed space curves by using their othogonal projections onto the Euclidean plane in the fixed Lorentzian space. Moreover, we generalize this Holditch Theorem for noncollinear three fixed points of the moving Lorentzian space and any other fixed point on the plane which is determined by these three fixed points.     

Investigation of Lin, H-Lin and O-Lin interactions in fcc(100) and fcc(110) surface symmetries by molecular dynamic simulation method

We have investigated the structure and energies of lithium microclusters containing 3-10 atoms in the fcc(100) and fcc(110) surface symmetries, and the interaction of an oxygen and hydrogen atom with these lithium microclusters for the on-top, open and bridge sites approaches. The calculations have been performed with molecular dynamics simulation methods (MDSM) at 1 K temperature and the results were compared with the literature.     

Coulomb blockade of small Pd clusters

Single-electron tunneling through Au substrate-alkanethiol-Pd cluster-tip junctions is investigated with scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The measured I(V) curves reveal several characteristic features of the Coulomb blockade, namely, the presence of a Coulomb gap and a Coulomb staircase. By using the orthodox theory of single-electron tunneling, the capacitances and resistances of the double junction system as well as the fractional charge are extracted from the experimental data.

Quantum confinement between self-organized Pt nanowires on Ge(001)

The existence of one-dimensional (1D) electronic states between self-organized Pt nanowires spaced 1.6 or 2.4 nm apart on a Ge(001) surface is revealed by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. These perfectly straight Pt nanowires act as barriers for a surface state (located just below the Fermi level) of the underlying terrace. The energy positions of the 1D electronic states are in good agreement with the energy levels of a quantum particle in a well. Spatial maps of the differential conductivity of the 1D electronic states conclusively reveal that these states are exclusively present in the troughs between the Pt nanowires.     

Top-down, bottom-up, and side-to-side proteomics with virtual 2-D gels

Intact protein masses can be measured directly from immobilized pH gradient (IPG) isoelectric focusing (IEF) gels loaded with mammalian and prokaryotic samples, as demonstrated here with murine macrophage and Methanosarcina acetivorans cell lysates. Mass accuracy and resolution is improved by employing instruments which decouple the desorption event from mass measurement; e.g., quadrupole time-of-flight instruments. MALDI in-source dissociation (ISD) is discussed as a means to pursue top-down sequencing for protein identification. Methods have been developed to enzymatically digest all proteins in an IEF gel simultaneously, leaving the polyacrylamide gel attached to its polyester support. By retaining all gel pieces and their placement relative to one another, sample handling and tracking are minimized, and comparison to 2-D gel images is facilitated. MALDI-MS and MS/MS can then be performed directly from dried, matrix-treated IPG strips following whole-gel trypsin digestion, bottom-up methodology. Side-to-side proteomics, highlighting the link between virtual and classical 2-D gel electrophoresis, is introduced to describe a method whereby intact masses are measured from one side (the IEF gel), while proteins are identified based on analyses performed from the other side (the SDS-PAGE gel).     

Cu (II) Chemosensor Based on a Fluorogenic Bodipy-Salophen Combination: Sensitivity and Selectivity Studies

A new fluorescent chemosensor (Bodipy-S) derived from Bodipy and Salophen was developed. After the characterization of all compounds, the behavior of the chemosensor Bodipy-S toward p, d and f block-metal ions was investigated by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. This chemosensor can selectively detect to Cu (II) in methanol-aqueous solution based on chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) and it almost exhibit to a fluorescence quenching effect with 20-fold. The binding constant of the fluorophore was interpreted by using of the Stern-Volmer method and the complex stoichiometry was defined by using Job’s plot. Moreover, the effect of pH was performed by the fluorescence intensities of Bodipy-S in presence of Cu(II) ions. The chemosensor can be successfully used to the detection of Cu(II) in most areas.
