Effect of electrolytic colouration on dislocation density in KBr and KCl

Average dislocation density in a number of electrolytically coloured and uncoloured crystals of KBr and KCl has been measured using the etch-pit technique. A decrease in density of dislocation after electrolytic colouration has been observed. This is attributed to the change in the dislocation pattern inside the crystals during colouration to produce more number of vacancies under the typical conditions of large electric field gradient at high temperature.     

A polarised neutron study of magnetic moment density in Cu2MnAl

A polarised neutron study of the ferromagnetic Heusler alloy Cu₂Mn_0.863Al_1.057 has been made. It has been concluded that the magnetic moment density is primarily situated on the Mn ions. On assigning the Mn-moment value, the observed magnetic form factor is found to be in good agreement with the Mn²⁺ free ion form factor calculated by Watson and Freeman. A slight asphericity has been observed in the moment density. It is estimated that there are about 3% excess 3d-electrons in the Eg states compared to spherical distribution. There is evidence of a very small positive polarisation of the Cu atoms. No appreciable conduction electron polarisation is found.     

Transfer of pyrene-dietherphosphatidylcholine to serum lipoproteins

The nonhydrolyzable fluorescent diether analog of phosphatidylcholine, 1-O-hexadecyl-2-0-pyrenedecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, has been synthesized as a stable probe for the determination of phospholipid transfer to different lipoprotein classes with potential phospholipase activities. After incubation of total human serum with the new probe at 37°C for 3 hours a characteristic partition equilibrium between the main lipoprotein fractions was observed. The fluorescent lipid was not degraded under these conditions and, therefore, served as a marker for choline glycerophospholipid distribution between and transport to serum lipoproteins.     

Multiple scattering of gamma rays in water,concrete and sand

The transmitted photon spectra of¹³³Ba,²²Na,¹³⁷Cs,⁵⁴Mn and⁶⁰Co point sources are measured through different thicknesses of water, concrete and sand. The multiple-scatter peaks observed in these materials at 60, 90 and 100 keV energies respectively are found to be independent of incident photon energy and thickness of the medium.     

Moderate Deviations and Large Deviations for Kernel Density Estimators

Let f _n be the non-parametric kernel density estimator based on a kernel function K and a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables taking values in ^d . It is proved that if the kernel function is an integrable function with bounded variation, and the common density function f of the random variables is continuous and f(x) 0 as |x| , then the moderate deviation principle and large deviation principle for hold.     

Existence of an Angular Density of Roots of Entire Functions of Order Zero

We obtain sufficient conditions for the set of roots of an entire function of order zero of strongly regular growth to possess an angular density.     

Radiation inhibition effects in the coherent-state many-atom Jaynes-Cummings model

Summary Radiation inhibition in the many-atom Jaynes-Cummings model being a consequence of cooperative as well as cavity detuning effects is examined. Numerical solutions for the time evolution of the atomic population inversion exhibiting quasi-stationary behaviour are presented. Furthermore, the cooperative energy shift of these quasi-stationary states is numerically computed by using a special projection operator. The authors of this paper have agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.     

Temperature dependence of the linewidth of the first-order Raman spectra for MnF2 crystal

The first-order Raman spectra ofE _gandA _1g modes in MnF₂ crystal were measured at temperatures from 4.2 to 563 K, and the values of the linewidths obtained. The temperature dependence of the linewidths was analyzed by the phonon dispersion curves based on the rigid ion model, and the result showed that it was caused approximately by the cubic anharmonic term in crystal potential energy.

Porphyrin-like porous nanomaterials as drug delivery systems for ibuprofen drug

In recent years, nanomaterial-based drug delivery carriers have become some of the most attractive to be studied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction of C60 fullerene, carbon nanotube and graphene having porphyrin-like FeN4 clusters with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (ibuprofen) by means of the density functional theory. Results showed that the graphene with FeN4 clusters could remarkably increase the tendency of graphene for adsorption of ibuprofen drug. Also, our ultraviolet–visible results show that the electronic spectra of the complexes exhibit a blue shift toward lower wavelengths (higher energies). It was found that Ibp/FeN4-graphene had high chemical reactivity, which was important for binding of the drug onto the target site. In order to go further and gain insight into the binding features of considered systems with ibuprofen drug, the Atoms in Molecules analysis was performed. Our results determine the electrostatic features of the Ibp/FeN4-graphene bonding. Consequently, the results demonstrated that the FeN4-graphene could be used as potential carriers for the delivery of ibuprofen drug.
