Embedding non-hexagonal rings into sp2-hybridized carbon networks is considered a promising strategy to enrich the family of low-dimensional graphenic structures. However, non-hexagonal rings are energetically unstable compared to the hexagonal counterparts, making it challenging to embed non-hexagonal rings into carbon-based nanostructures in a controllable manner. Here, we report an on-surfac...

Salt-induced fluid lamellar (L alpha) to inverted hexagonal (HII) phase transitions have been studied in diphosphatidylglycerols (cardiolipins) with different acyl chain compositions, using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Cardiolipins with four myristoyl chains, tetramyristoyl cardiolipin (TMCL), and with four oleoyl chains, tetraoleoyl cardiolipin (TOCL), were synthesized ch...

Hexagonal structure is different from the traditional square structure for image representation. The geometrical arrangement of pixels on hexagonal structure can be described in terms of a hexagonal grid. Uniformly separating image into seven similar copies with a smaller scale has commonly been used for parallel and accurate image processing including image compression on hexagonal structure. ...

We predict the number of hexagonal systems consisting of 24 and 25 hexagons to be H 24 = 122237774262384 and H 25 = 606259305418149, with 6 and 5 signiicant digits, respectively. Further estimates for H n up to n = 31 are also given. Informally speaking, a hexagonal system can be viewed as a connected arrangement of hexagonal cells packed in the same way as the typical honeycomb arrangement in ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the precision at the implant interface of gold-machined UCLA-type abutments and computer-assisted design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) titanium abutments with both external-hexagonal connection and internal-hexagonal connection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen gold-machined UCLA-type abutments with external-hexagonal connection, 15 gold-machined UCLA-...

nanocrystalline particles of barium hexaferrite has been prepared by the sol–gel auto- combustion method using iron and barium nitrate with a ba:fe molar ratio of 1:10. the effect of fuel such as citric acid and aspartic acid was investigated on the structure and magnetic properties of nanoparticles. the results revealed that the formation of barium hexaferritefine particles is influenced by mo...

Abstract Perylene dyes have applications in many fields. Herewith, we report on the synthesis and properties of a series PEGylated perylene bisimides with varying PEG chain lengths. Such molecules are formed by hydrophobic core functionalized at imide positions hydrophilic non-ionic functional groups, which impart solubility capacity to self-assemble water. The diluted solutions synthesized sho...

In the past decade, the long-neglected ceramides (N-acylsphingosines) have become one of the most attractive lipid molecules in molecular cell biology, because of their involvement in essential structures (stratum corneum) and processes (cell signalling). Most natural ceramides have a long (16-24 C atoms) N-acyl chain, but short N-acyl chain ceramides (two to six C atoms) also exist in Nature, ...
