Basal as well as xenobiotic-induced expression of the main enzymes from phase I and phase II of drug metabolism is confined to the perivenous areas of the mammalian liver lobule. Whereas signal transduction pathways that govern xenobiotic-induced expressio ...
The magnetic and magnetoresonance properties of a new single-crystal compound Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Cl-2 are studied. Measurements of the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of the crystal in a wide temperature range (5-300 K) make it possible to conclude tha ...
A new macrocyclic ligand, L3, has been synthesised, based on the cyclen framework grafted with three phenacyl light-harvesting groups and a C5-alkyl chain bearing a carboxylic acid function as a potential linker for biological material. Acidity constant ...
A new spin on C60: Axially chiral, pushpull buta-1,3-diene chromophores conjugated to vicinally methylated fullerenes (see picture) have high barriers of rotation about their chiral axes. These high barriers allowed their optical resolution and the determi ...
This thesis covers the analysis of the catalytic growth of carbon nanotubes under well de fined conditions, the optimization of the field emission properties of those structures and introduces a model for the growth mechanism based on the experimental resu ...
Differential geometry provides a useful mathematical framework for describing the fundamental concepts in crystallography. The notions of point and associated vector spaces correspond to those of manifold and tangent space at a given point. A space-group o ...
The symmetry of a commensurately modulated crystal structure can be described in two different ways: in terms of a conventional three-dimensional space group or using the superspace concept in (3 + d) dimensions. The three-dimensional space group is obtain ...
Magnesium matrix composites made of pure (99.98%) magnesium reinforced with long carbon (Mg/C) and stainless steel (Mg/steel) fibers were processed by low pressure infiltration method. Mg/C composites were then oriented from the crystallographic point of v ...
The main purpose of this paper is to show that, if G is a finite p-group which is not cyclic, quaternion or semi-dihedral, then the group of endo-trivial G-modules is detected on restriction to elementary abelian p-subgroups of rank 2. Consequently, the to ...
Daughter crystals in orientation relationship with a parent crystal are called variants. They can be created by a structural phase transition (Landau or reconstructive), by twinning or by precipitation. Internal and external classes of transformations defi ...
