A series of 10 different mesomorphic semidendrimeric tridentate ligands L5-L14 grafted with terminal cyanobiphenyl groups have been synthesized. Upon reaction with Ln(NO3)(3) (Ln = trivalent lanthanide), the central 2,6-bis(N-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridin ...
The shape evolution of epitaxially grown InAs/GaAs(001) quantum dots after the controlled removal of material by an in situ etching gas is investigated by atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy. The presence of {137} facets on the surface of partia ...
The aim of this contribution is to review the application of thermodynamics to live cultures of microbial and other cells and to explore to what extent this may be put to practical use. A major focus is on energy dissipation effects in industrially relevan ...
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate possible explanations for experimentally observed differences in the growth modification of calcite particles by two organic additives, polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyaspartic acid (p-ASP). The more r ...
The nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc is a gelatinous viscous hydrogel that has an essential role in the mechanics of the intervertebral disc joint. The viscoelastic properties of the nucleus pulposus significantly change in the course of time an ...
Cooling of datacenters is estimated to have an annual electricity cost of 1.4 billion dollars in the United States and 3.6 billion dollars worldwide. Currently, refrigerated air is the most widely used means of cooling datacenter’s servers. Modern datacent ...
An approximate relation between the vibrational entropy and the mean square displacement of the particles is derived. Using observations of the short-time dynamics in liquids of various fragility, it is argued that (i) if the crystal entropy is significant ...
Network models have been used to study the underlying processes and principles of biological systems for decades, providing many insights into the complexity of life. Biological systems require a constant flow of free energy to drive these processes that o ...
The growing development of renewable energies combined with the process of privatization, lead to a change of economical energy market strategies. nstantaneous pricings of electricity as a function of demand or predictions, induces profitable peak producti ...
