The buckybowl corannulene is known to be an excellent electron acceptor. UV photoelectron spectroscopy studies were performed with thin-film systems containing corannulene and cesium. Adsorption of submonolayer quantities of corannulene in ultrahigh vacuum onto thick Cs films, deposited at 100 K on a copper(111) substrate, induces a transfer of four electrons per molecule into the two lowest un...

The technology of glass production is thought to have been known since ~2500 BC (1-3) and had become fairly advanced within the Roman Empire (4). At that time glass was widely used for blown vessels, pitchers, beakers, bowls, and other tableware, with such glass objects becoming as widespread as pottery (1-3,5). The use of glass for laboratory apparatus, however, was rather limited because of a...

Abstract Tightening noose on engine emission norms compelled manufacturers globally to design engines with low specially NO x and soot without compromising their performance. Amongst various parameters, shape of piston bowls, injection pressure nozzle diameter are known have significant influence over the thermal performance emanating from engine. This paper investigates combined effect fuel pa...

Antigen S-100B of nervous tissue, according to the data of numerous studies, affects the mechanisms of nervous system plasticity and memory. The influence of ultralow doses of antibodies to S-100B (6C dilution, according to the homeopathic pharmacopoeia) has been studied on three learning behavioral models on Wistar rats, which were inhibitory avoidance, choosing of bowls with sucrose and feedi...

The ceramic bowls production of the Brazilian Kadiweu culture (Rio Nabileque, Mato Grosso do Sul), currently belonging to Museo delle Civiltà (MUCIV) – Nazionale Preistorico ed Etnografico “Luigi Pigorini” in Rome, were studied for first time by a multi-analytical investigation at Istituto Centrale per il Restauro (ICR, Rome). Optical microscopy on thin section (OM) and X-ray Powder Diffraction...
