The meso-salicylaldehyde substituted BODIPY was synthesized over a sequence of steps and characterized by X-ray crystallography, mass, NMR, absorption, fluorescence and electrochemical techniques. The crystal structure showed the presence of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl and formyl groups, which induces rigidity in the BODIPY core and makes the BODIPY relatively more f...

Prediction of mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-based composite is one of the important issues which should be addressed reasonably. A proper modeling approach is a multi-scale technique starting from nano scale and lasting to macro scale passing in-between scales of micro and meso. The main goal of this research is to develop a multi-scale modeling approach to extract mechanical propert...

Serratia marcescens strain ATCC 14041 was found to be an efficient meso-2,3-butanediol (meso-2,3-BD) producer from glucose and sucrose. Here we present a 5.0-Mb assembly of its genome. We have annotated 4 coding sequences (CDSs) for meso-2,3-BD fermentation and 2 complete operons including 6 CDSs for sucrose utilization.

Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs), consisting of a battery-like negative electrode and capacitive porous-carbon positive electrode, deliver more than twice the energy density electric double-layer capacitors. However, their wide application suffers from low reduced cycle life at high rates. Herein, hierarchical meso—microporous carbon nanospheres with highly disordered structure nitrogen/phosphorou...

Catalysed diesel particulate filter (DPF) monoliths are hierarchical porous solids, as demonstrated by mercury porosimetry. Establishing structure-transport relationships, including assessing the general accessibility of catalyst, is challenging, and, thus, a comprehensive approach necessary. Contributions, from each porosity level, to transport have been established using hyperpolarised (hp) x...

This paper presents a Kalman filter designed for a cutting force measurement system. The cutting force measurement system is used to measure cutting forces for meso-milling applications. Due to the small magnitude of the cutting forces generated from the meso-milling process, the measurement results are easily distorted by the noise that exists in the measurement system. The object of the Kalma...

The synthesis of the first meso-meso linked core modified smaragdyrins with unusual single photon properties is reported.
