An efficient protocol for post-functionalization of organo-imido polyoxometalates is developed via creating a remote tertiary “N” atom over the surface of organo-imido hexamolybdates and subsequently post-functionalizing it with the help of allyl or alkyl halides to afford stoichiometric, “in situ” crystalline products at moderate temperatures. The parent organo-imido product 2 and post-functio...

We demonstrate a low-cost uncooled terahertz (THz) imager fabricated in a standard 180 nm CMOS process. The imager is composed of a broadband THz metamaterial absorber coupled with a diode microbolometer sensor where the pn junction is used as a temperature sensitive device. The metamaterial absorber array is integrated in the top metallic layers of a six metal layer process allowing for comple...

BACKGROUND There are limited data to inform the choice between early treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and early surfactant treatment as the initial support for extremely-low-birth-weight infants. METHODS We performed a randomized, multicenter trial, with a 2-by-2 factorial design, involving infants who were born between 24 weeks 0 days and 27 weeks 6 days of gestation...

A C102H30 graphene sheet has been rolled up to construct Single-Walled Carbon NanoTube Fragments (SWCNTFs) as parts of armchair carbon nanotubes by computational quantum chemistry methods. Non-covalent cation-π interactions of the Na+ cation on the central rings of SWCNTFs have investigated. The binding energies of the Na+-SWCNTF complexes versus ...

Development of the advanced mold flux is always mandatory to enhance both quality and productivity continuous casting steels. Especially, increasing demands for high alloy steels production speed reveals serious contradiction between two principal functions flux: lubrication controlling heat transfer. In order overcome this problematic needs, some innovative research activities are being carrie...
