There is a strong and growing worldwide research on exploring renewable energy resources. Solar energy is the most abundant, inexhaustible and clean energy source, but there are profound material challenges to capture, convert and store solar energy. In this work, we explore 3C-SiC as an attractive material towards solar-driven energy conversion applications: (i) Boron doped 3C-SiC as candidate...

Enteroviruses comprise highly diverse group of single-stranded positive RNA viruses belonging to Enterovirus genus, Picornaviridae family. They are the most prevalent worldwide highlighted by high resistance environmental cues. normally cause seasonal self-limiting infections, but also known as causative infectious agents encephalitis, myocarditis, poliomyelitis, acute heart failure and sepsis....

We present MERLIN observations of Galactic 21-cm H i absorption at an angular resolution of ∼ 0.1 − 0.2 arcsec and a velocity resolution of 0.5 km s, in the direction of three moderately low latitude (–8◦ < b < –12◦) extragalactic radio sources, 3C 111, 3C 123 and 3C 161, all of which are heavily reddened. H i absorption is observed against resolved background emission sources up to ∼ 2 arcsec ...

A series of novel harmine derivatives bearing a benzylindine substituent in position-1 of β-carboline ring were synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agents. The N2-benzylated β-carboline derivatives 3a-g represented the most interesting anticancer activities and compound 3c was found to be the most active agent to diverse cancer cell lines such as gastric carcinoma, melanoma and colorectal ca...

Atomistic mechanisms of nanoindentation of a-SiC have been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The load displacement curve exhibits a series of load drops, reflecting the short-range topological order similar to crystalline 3C–SiC. In contrast to 3C–SiC, the load drops are irregularly spaced and less pronounced. The damage is spatially more extended than in 3C–SiC, and it exhibits long-r...

UNLABELLED The coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) is a cell contact protein with an important role in virus uptake. Its extracellular immunoglobulin domains mediate the binding to coxsackievirus and adenovirus as well as homophilic and heterophilic interactions between cells. The cytoplasmic tail links CAR to the cytoskeleton and intracellular signaling cascades. In the heart, CAR is ...

morphology or heart or kidney measurements were evident postmortem. At the tissue-bone interface, mean ∆T in vivo (1.27oC) were lower than postmortem (1.68oC) or in phantoms (1.47oC), with reductions 1mm from the focus. At 2mm from the focus, mean ∆T for all groups were approx. 1oC. The highest ∆T in a live animal was 2.92oC.Conclusions: UBM appears not to generate gross biological effects in m...

Introduction  Restrictive cardiomyopathy in fetuses and neonates is extremely rare and has a poor outcome. Its etiology in neonates is elusive: metabolic diseases (e.g., Gaucher, Hurler syndrome), neuromuscular disorders (e.g., muscular dystrophies, myofibrillar myopathies), or rare presentation of genetic syndromes (e.g., Coffin-Lowry syndrome) account for a minority of the cases, the majority...

We have made deep Chandra observations of three powerful Fanaroff-Riley type II (FR II) radio sources: two quasars (3C 263 and 3C 351) and one radio galaxy (3C 330). X-ray emission from hot spots and lobes, as well as from the active nucleus, is detected in each source. We model the hot spots’ synchrotron spectra using VLA, BIMA, and Hubble Space Telescope data. In 3C 263 and 3C 330, the hot sp...

In this paper, we investigate Jordan ∗-homomorphisms on C∗-algebras associated with the following functional inequality ‖f( b−a 3 ) + f( a−3c 3 ) + f( 3a+3c−b 3 )‖ ≤ ‖f(a)‖. We moreover prove the superstability and the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of Jordan ∗homomorphisms on C∗-algebras associated with the following functional equation f( b− a 3 ) + f( a− 3c 3 ) + f( 3a+ 3c− b 3 ) = f(a).
