The objectives of this work were to develop an antibiotic coating on the surface of a titanium plate to determine its antibacterial properties in vitro and in vivo. To prepare vancomycin-coated titanium implants, we adopted the electrospinning nanotechnique. The surface structure of the coating implants was observed using a scanning electron microscope. An elution method and a high-pressure liq...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) forward resistivity plate chambers (RPCs) at the high eta region must be operated in presence of a radiation-induced rate as high as 1 kHz=cm. It is still unknown if the RPCs coated with linseed oil can be operated under such a high-radiation environment over the lifetime of CMS. Non-oiled RPCs may be one of the options since phenolic or melamine-coated bakelite ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells cultured on gelatin-coated plates or feeder layers form tight aggregated colonies by the E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesions. Here we show that murine ES cells do not make cell-cell contacts or form colonies when cultured on the plate coated with a fusion protein of E-cadherin and IgG Fc domain. The cells in culture retain all ES cell features including pluripotenc...

In the solar energy industry great emphasis has been placed on the development of better and efficient systems as these are utilized in the form of heat and electricity for both domestic and industry purpose. The system is integration of several sub systems namely coated solar collectors; absorbers; plates shape and size, type of coatings, and techniques of applying these coatings are major gov...

We describe an improved method for rapid cloning of full-length cDNA from cDNA libraries. This approach is based on the ability of Escherichia coli RecA protein to form a stable nucleoprotein complex with a linear single-stranded DNA probe and homologous sequences in circular double-stranded DNA. Hybridization of RecA-coated biotinylated DNA probes to homologous plasmid DNA creates triple-stran...

Surface molecules of primitive male germ cells, gonocytes, are essential components for regulating cell adhesion and maintaining self-renewal in mammalian species. In domestic animals, the stage-specific glycan epitope α-N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) is recognised by the lectin Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) and is found on the surface of gonocytes and spermatogonia. Gonocytes from bovine ...

This study aimed to develop a contamination-free porous titanium scaffold by a plasma-activated sintering within an originally developed TiN-coated graphite mold. The surface of porous titanium sheet with or without a coated graphite mold was characterized. The cell adhesion property of porous titanium sheet was also evaluated in this study. The peak of TiC was detected on the titanium sheet pr...

Silicon nanowires with high aspect ratio were grown using PPECVD and a gold catalyst on a variety of different substrates. The morphology of the nanowires was investigated for a range of crystalline silicon, glass, metal, ITO coated and amorphous silicon coated glass substrates. Deposition of the nanowires was carried out in a parallel plate PECVD chamber modified for PPECVD using a 1kHz square...

Abstract This work presents an innovative silica-layer coated capillary with comparison study of the and fused-silica for separation seven phenolic acids viz . p -hydroxyphenylacetic acid (PHPA), -coumaric (PCA), -hydroxybenzoic (PHBA), caffeic (CFA), (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic (DHPA), gallic (GLA), 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoic (THBA), together caffeine (CF), by electro-chromatography (CEC) micella...

We present an experimental study of the surface effects (interactions with the container walls) during the nucleation and growth of smectic-B (SmB) crystals from the nematic in free growth and directional solidification of a mesogenic molecule [C4H9-(C6H10)2CN] called CCH4 in thin (of thickness in the 10-microm range) samples. We follow the dynamics of the system in real time with a polarizing ...
