Erratum to: New Molecular Wires with Two Ferrocene Hinges

a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...

Flexible antibodies with nonprotein hinges

There is a significant need for antibodies that can bind targets with greater affinity. Here we describe a novel strategy employing chemical semisynthesis to produce symmetroadhesins: antibody-like molecules having nonprotein hinge regions that are more flexible and extendible and are capable of two-handed binding. Native chemical ligation was carried out under mild, non-denaturing conditions t...

Antiresonances in Molecular Wires

We present analytic and numerical studies based on Landauer theory of conductance antiresonances of molecular wires. Our analytic treatment is a solution of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the wire that includes the effects of the non-orthogonality of the atomic orbitals on different atoms exactly. The problem of non-orthogonality is treated by solving the transport problem in a new Hilbert...

Electron Transfer through Surface-Grown, Ferrocene-Capped Oligophenylene Molecular Wires (5-50 Å) on n-Si(111) Photoelectrodes.

We report the surface growth of oligophenylene molecular wires on Si(111) substrates and their electron-transfer (ET) properties. Iterative wire growth of biphenylene was achieved via Pd-catalyzed Negishi reactions for lengths of nphenyl = 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 (d ≈ 5-50 Å). The triflato-capped wires were functionalized with vinylferrocene for potentiometric studies. For the oligophenylenes of ...
