Venusian lava channels have meander dimensions that relate to their mode of formation. Their meander properties generally follow terrestrial river trends of wavelength (L) to width (W) ratios, suggesting an equilibrium adjustment of channel form. Slightly higher L/W for many Venusian channels in comparison to terrestrial rivers may relate to nonaqueous flow processes. The unusually low L/W valu...

Visibly highly transparent indium tin oxide (ITO)/epoxy nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing polyglycidyl methacrylate (PGMA) grafted ITO nanoparticles into a commercial epoxy resin. The oleic acid stabilized, highly crystalline, and near monodisperse ITO nanoparticles were synthesized via a nonaqueous synthetic route with multigram batch quantities. An azido-phosphate ligand was synthesi...

The organic flow batteries have been considered as the promising systems for electrochemical energy storage because of their potential advantages in promoting density and lowering cost electrolytes. Enormous efforts devoted to design high-performance batteries, but fundamental technological hurdles remain be overcome. Herein, we summarize current state both aqueous nonaqueous systems, discuss l...

The increasing mortality from coronary heart disease has focused attention on its epidemiological and biological aspects, and in the latter connexion much work has been done on the relationship between blood cholesterol levels and heart disease. As a result many methods for the estimation of cholesterol levels in serum have been published and their multiplicity indicates the difficulties of the...
