Three generations of pyrenyl bis-MPA dendrimers with two different end-groups, acetonide (pyr(Gn)) or alcohol (pyr(Gn-OH)) (n = 1-3), were synthesized, and the pyrenyl group of the dendritic molecules was encapsulated in the arene ruthenium metallacages, [Ru(6)(p-cymene)(6)(OO∩OO)(3)(tpt)(2)](6+) (OO∩OO = 5,8-dioxydo-1,4-naphtaquinonato (donq) [1](6+) and 6,11-dioxydo-5,12-naphtacenedionato (do...

A new principle of quantitative and qualitative analysis of binary organic mixtures is offered, which is based on an ability of calixarene receptor for specific polymorphic transitions related to the composition of the analyzed guest mixture. The ability of tert-butylcalix[6]arene to remember selectively some guests bound from headspace both of pure liquids and their binary mixtures is used. Th...

Oligoethylene glycols and perfluoro-n-alkanes are suitable guests for the synthetic cylindrical host molecule 1(2); an investigation of these host-guest systems is reported.

A facile route to hierarchically organized multicompartmentalized proteinosomes based on a recursive Pickering emulsion procedure using amphiphilic protein-polymer nanoconjugate building blocks is described. The number of incarcerated guest proteinosomes within a single host proteinosome is controlled, and enzymes and genetic polymers encapsulated within targeted subcompartments to produce chem...

Synthetic macrocyclic host compounds can interact with suitable guest molecules via noncovalent interactions to form functional supramolecular systems. With the synergistic integration of the response of molecules and the unique properties at the nanoscale, nanoparticles functionalized with the host-guest supramolecular systems have shown great potentials for a broad range of applications in th...

Monitoring virtual machine execution from the hypervisor provides new opportunities for evaluating cloud security. Unfortunately, traditional hypervisor based monitoring techniques tightly couple monitoring with internal VM operations and as a result 1) impose unacceptably high overhead to both guest and host environments and 2) do not scale. Towards addressing this problem, we present DACSA, a...

We employ fully atomistic molecular modeling to investigate the concentration dependence of the electro-optic coefficient of two guest-host polymer composites. Using classical molecular dynamics, we record the time-evolution of the guest-host system under the application of an external electric field. Through analysis of the orientation of the nonlinear optical chromophores in the guest-host co...
