β-ionone (ION) is a cyclic terpenoid compound that demonstrates considerable potential for the prevention and treatment of cancer. However, the water solubility of β-ionone is poor and the compound demonstrates low permeability. Liposomes have been rep
37. The combination of the V=O vibration of the [VO5] vanadium group and the stretching vibration of the B–O bond in the [BO4] tetrahedral units is responsible for the absorption peak at 930 cm−138,39.
A new MEMS process based on amorphous metal alloys has been developed. The alloy in question is sputter-deposited molybdenum–silicon–nitrogen (Mo–Si–N) with atomic composition of 31 at% Mo, 20 at% Si, 45 at% N and 4 at% O and tensile residual stress of 300 MPa. This surface micr...
3.3. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) The light and dark regions of the AFM images represent the peaks and valleys of the pectin films, respectively. As expected, and observed by SEM, surface irregularities were reduced and the topography was smoother in the control films (HMP and LMP, Figure ...
Analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the modified TiO2 NPs were successfully dispersed into the chitosan matrix, and that the roughness of the chitosan-TiO2 nanocomposites were significantly reduced. Moreover, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ...
Much of the system was fabricated at the University of Wisconsin’s Physical Sciences Laboratory. Whilst there, a portable radon trapping system was used to harvest emanation samples that were then shipped to shipped to the U. Maryland radon facility for counting. Initial radon emanation ...
In general, the two plasma jets at hand show some differences in their impact on the model substrate cysteine. The differences of the two devices are also illustrated by two publications on the atomic oxygen distribution in the effluent of the respective devices measured with the same diagnostics...
Generally, two approaches are used to obtain nanomaterials: the ‘top-down’ approach, where bulk materials are broken down to the nano size by milling or etching, and the ‘bottom-up’ approach, which makes nano-sized objects by combining atomic scale materials [18]. Nowadays, among the dif...
where Vsampleis the volume of titrant used for titrating the sample (mL), Vblankis the volume of titrant used for titrating the blank (mL), N is the normality of titrant (standard HCl), 14.007 is the atomic weight of nitrogen element, and wt test portion is the weight (mg) of test ...
All starches are food-grade. Na2HPO4 (p.a.) and Na5P3O10 (p.a.) were products of Acros Organics (Geel, Belgium). 2.1. Modification of Starch Starches were modified as described in the previous paper [9]. Briefly, for the high-voltage electrical treatment (HVED), 200 mL of 1 g/mL ...
