Hydrogen storage in carbon nanotubes: Residual metal content and pretreatment temperature
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-06)
Hydrogen storage in MWNT was enhanced via the catalytic activity of NiMgO. The magnitude of the hydrogen to metal ratio for the MWNT/NiMgO system, combined with temperature programmed adsorption and desorption studies, ...
FAST TRACK COMMUNICATION: Percolation crossing formulae and conformal field theory
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2007-08-03)
Using conformal field theory, we derive several new crossing formulae at the two-dimensional percolation point. High-precision simulation confirms these results. Integrating them gives a unified derivation of Cardy's formula ...
Externally Applied Cyclic Strain Regulates Localization of Focal Contact Components in Cultured Smooth Muscle Cells
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Biomedical Engineering Society ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-07)
Mechanical signals are critical regulators of cellular gene expression, yet little is understood of the mechanism whereby cells sense mechanical forces. In this study we have tested the hypothesis that mechanical strain ...
Low-temperature SCR of NO with NH 3 over noble metal promoted Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-04)
We have reported previously the excellent performance of Fe-exchanged ZSM-5 for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia at high temperatures (300–400 °C). In this work, we found that the reaction temperature ...
Advances in on-chip photodetection for applications in miniaturized genetic analysis systems
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2004-01-01)
Microfabrication techniques have become increasingly popular in the development of next generation DNA analysis devices. Improved on-chip fluorescence detection systems may have applications in developing portable hand-held ...
Exact Results for the Universal Area Distribution of Clusters in Percolation, Ising, and Potts Models
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-01)
At the critical point in two dimensions, the number of percolation clusters of enclosed area greater than A is proportional to A −1 , with a proportionality constant C that is universal. We show theoretically (based upon ...

Alteration of the growth rate and lag time of Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL-B523
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-03-20)
Bacterial profile modification is an important enhanced oil recovery technique used to direct injected water into a reservoir's low permeability zone containing trapped crude oil. During water flooding, the use of bacteria ...
Validation of flow cytometric competitive binding protocols and characterization of fluorescently labeled ligands
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-10-01)
Background Fluorescently labeled ligands and flow cytometric methods allow quantification of receptor-ligand binding. Such methods require calibration of the fluorescence of bound ligands. Moreover, binding of unlabeled ...
Computational analysis of surface-tension-driven coating-defect flow
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2001-04)
Bondline readout (BLRO) is a coating defect frequently exhibited on adhesively-bonded, polymeric automotive body panels painted with high-glamor/flow clearcoats. BLRO or telegraphing results from Marangoni-type, ...
