This review paper covers the low temperature wet growth of nano-engineered particles of ZnO-based mixed metal oxides, their growth mechanism, and characterization using X-ray diffraction, SEM, TEM and IR, UV–visible, and XPS spectral techniques. Main focus of this article is centered on low temperature semi-wet methods of synthesis that are suitable for large scale production of zinc oxide-based systems mixed with iron oxide, copper oxide, nickel oxide and cobalt oxide. These mixed metal oxides have broad industrial applications as catalyst, semiconductors, adsorbents, superconductors, electro-ceramics, and antifungal agents in addition to extensive applications in medicines. This paper discusses the low-cost and environment friendly synthesis of these mixed metal oxides, measurement of properties and applicability of these materials systems. 相似文献
We consider a collapsing spherically symmetric inhomogeneous dust cloud in higher dimensional space-time. We show that the
central singularity of collapse can be a strong curvature or a weak curvature naked singularity depending on the initial density
distribution. 相似文献
Short-term habituation of the startle response represents an elementary form of learning in mammals. The underlying mechanism
is located within the primary startle pathway, presumably at sensory synapses on giant neurons in the caudal pontine reticular
nucleus (PnC). Short trains of action potentials in sensory afferent fibers induce depression of synaptic responses in PnC
giant neurons, a phenomenon that has been proposed to be the cellular correlate for short-term habituation. We address here
the question whether both this synaptic depression and the short-term habituation of the startle response are localized at
the presynaptic terminals of sensory afferents. If this is confirmed, it would imply that these processes take place prior
to multimodal signal integration, rather than occurring at postsynaptic sites on PnC giant neurons that directly drive motor
neurons. 相似文献
PVT data have been determined for cyclohexane (194–338 K), cyclohexanone (214–303 K), and Cyclopentanol (204–325 K) up to 3000 bars, as well as the volume changes accompanying the phase transitions. The volume changes allow the calculation of the corresponding enthalpy and entropy changes on using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The volume changes of melting decrease considerably with increasing pressure, whereas those due to solid-solid transitions exhibit much less of a pressure dependence. The PVT data of the liquid phases are described with the Tait equation. 相似文献
As a biomaterial, it is well established that gelatin exhibits low cytotoxicity and can promote cellular growth. However, to circumvent the potential toxicity of chemical crosslinkers, reagent‐free crosslinking methods such as electron irradiation are highly desirable. While high energy irradiation has been shown to exhibit precise control over the degree of crosslinking, these hydrogels have not been thoroughly investigated for biocompatibility and degradability. Here, NIH 3T3 murine fibroblasts are seeded onto irradiated gelatin hydrogels to examine the hydrogel's influence on cellular viability and morphology. The average projected area of cells seeded onto the hydrogels increases with irradiation dose, which correlates with an increase in the hydrogel's shear modulus up to 10 kPa. Cells on these hydrogels are highly viable and exhibits normal cell cycles, particularly when compared to those grown on glutaraldehyde crosslinked gelatin hydrogels. However, proliferation is reduced on both types of crosslinked samples. To mimic the response of the hydrogels in physiological conditions, degradability is monitored in simulated body fluid to reveal strongly dose‐dependent degradation times. Overall, given the low cytotoxicity, influence on cellular morphology and variability in degradation times of the electron irradiated gelatin hydrogels, there is significant potential for application in areas ranging from regenerative medicine to mechanobiology.
