Hydrogen storage on cation-decorated biphenylene carbon (BPC) and nitrogenated holey graphene (C2N) layered materials are addressed by dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations. Maximum storage capacity and adsorption energy of a gas-phase H2 monolayer adsorbed on both sides of...

The catalytic action of Au/ZrO2 in the gas phase hydrogenation of p-nitrobenzonitrile (p-NBN) to p-aminobenzonitrile (p-ABN) has been assessed against Au/Al2O3. Crystalline ZrO2 was prepared by precipitation of ZrOCl2 with aqueous NH3 and calcined to generate tetragonal and monoclinic phases. Ca...

SUMMARYThe anthelmintic activity of nitroxynil (4-hydroxy-3-iodo-5-nitrobenzonitrile) was tested in calves, lambs and adult sheep. Administered by subcutaneous injection at a dose rate of 10 mg./kg. treatment was effective against infections 1, 6, 14 and 21 days old. with Haemonchus contortus. N...

Thermophysical study of the behaviour, as a function of temperature, of the 2-, 3- and 4-isomers of nitrobenzonitriles was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry, in the temperature intervals between 268 K and its respective melting points. The temperatures, enthalpies and entropies of...

In the present study, the experimental and theoretical harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequencies of 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzonitrile were investigated. The experimental FT-IR (400–4000 cm−1) and μ-Raman spectra (100–4000 cm−1) of the molecule in the solid phase were recorded. Theoretical vi...

This work investigated protein oxidation, proteolysis and their interrelationship during the manufacturing process of low-sodium Chinese traditional bacon. The bacons were prepared by four different salting treatments: substituting sodium chloride (NaCl) using 0, 30, 50, and 70% of potassium chl...

P2-structure sodium manganese oxide is synthesized by a facile reduction reaction. We provide new data on the direct use of sodium manganese oxide instead of lithium analogues as a low-cost electrode for lithium/sodium hybrid ion batteries after an ion-exchange process. Ion exchange occurs in so...

Variation in Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) increases the risk for neurodegenerative diseases, schizophrenia, and other mental disorders. However, the functions of DISC1 associated with the development of these diseases remain unclear. DISC1 has been reported to inhibit Akt/mTORC1 signalin...

In order to identify an accessible substance that efficiently prevents low temperature oxidation of coal which can lead to coal spontaneous combustion, this work investigated the use of sodium humate (SH) as a possible inhibitor of coal oxidation. Three coal samples (CJS, BZ and PING) were treat...

The growth of the corrosion layer occurring when a sodium surface is exposed to air under room conditions was studied considering the ratio between O − Kα and Na − Kα characteristic peak intensities from the X-ray emission spectrum collected in a scanning electron microscope for different expo...

The vaporization of pure Na2O(c) was investigated at temperatures of 900–1165 K with the method of Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry (KEMS). Thermodynamic quantities of sublimation enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy were derived from the partial pressures of gaseous species Na and O2 over the ...

Continuous down-scaling of silicon based transistors results in device lengths of less than 100 nm. This requires a reduction of the gate dielectric thickness to less than 15Å which is not possible for SiO2 due to an increasing leakage current. One of the most promising candidates for a replacem...

We report the room temperature growth of hafnium silicate by ultra-violet/ozone oxidation of hafnium silicide. Hafnium silicide was deposited by magnetron sputtering on hydrogen terminated (1 0 0) Si. The film was then exposed to UV radiation while in an O2 ambient. Hafnium silicate films are ob...

The structure and growth of hafnium silicide on Si(1 1 1) were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Hafnium was deposited by electron beam evaporation onto a clean Si(1 1 1) surface under UHV-conditions. The sample was heated in several steps up to 900°C. Upon annealing a growth of e...

A superconducting thallium cuprate oxysulfate of the composition Tl0.5Pb0.5Sr4Cu2(SO4)Oy, (P4/mmm, a = 3.85Å, c = 16.6Å) related to the 1223 type cuprate family has been characterized. Infrared spectra show that the sulfate ion is present as a bidentate ligand as expected from the structure.

This paper reports the synthesis of cadmium selenide electrodes by simple and cost effective chemical bath deposition method for the electrochemical supercapacitors. In order to study the effect of deposition time onto the morphological and electrochemical performance of CdSe electrodes, the rea...

The hybridization of cadmium selenide and organically modified clay mineral, cetyltrimethylammonium–montmorillonite, was investigated by a simply colloidal process. The hybrid was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, transmission electron microscopy, as well as Raman, UV...
