The high manufacturing cost for metallic glasses hampers actual commercial applications of this class of fascinating materials. In this letter, the effect of oxygen impurity on the glass forming ability and tensile properties of Zr-BMG composites were studied. Our results have demonstrated that oxygen was absorbed and concentrated only in the precipitated β-Zr phase, leading that the remainder ...

This work describes reactions of heteroallenes with diamido-diamine cyclam-based Zr(iv) complexes of the general formula (Bn2Cyclam)ZrX2 (X = O(t)Bu, , O(i)Pr, , SPh, , NH(t)Bu, ) as well as the di-orthometallated species ((C6H4CH2)2Cyclam)Zr, . The reactions of isocyanates or isothiocyanates with , or resulted in the formation of N-bonded ureate or thioureate cyclam complexes upon [2 + 2] cycl...

Methotrexate (MTX)-resistant human breast cancer cells (MTXR ZR-75) were obtained following serial passage of the wild-type ZR-75-1 cells (wild-type ZR-75) in MTX. The resistant cell line contains neither quantitative nor qualitative changes in dihydrofolate reductase compared to the parental line. Resistance is associated with a 3-fold decrease in MTX transport into MTXR ZR-75 cells as well as...

Upon heating Zr(NMe(2))(4), 1,3-bis(N-butyl-imidazolium)benzene diiodide and toluene analytically pure Zr pincer complex was obtained, which was found to be an intramolecular hydroamination catalyst.

Retraction of 'Atomic-scale simulation to study the dynamical properties and local structure of Cu-Zr and Ni-Zr metallic glass-forming alloys' by M. H. Yang et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2016, 18, 7169-7183.

The d-electron low temperature magnet NbFe2 is poised near the threshold of magnetism at ambient pressure, and can be tuned across the associated quantum critical point by adjusting the precise stoichiometry within the Nb1-yFe2+y homogeneity range. In a nearly critical single crystal (y= -0.01), we observe a T3/2 power-law dependence of the resistivity rho on temperature T and a logarithmic tem...

The internal oxidation o f dilute Pd alloys has been studied by XAS. Pt, Au, Pb and Bi in Pd form no impurity-oxygen complexes. Y, Nb, Gd, Yb, Lu, H f , Th, Zr and Mo precipitate at 1050°C as oxides. In a recent paper /1/ it was shown how X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) can be used to investigate the internal oxidation of impurities in dilute alloys. It was demonstrated in the case of a @Zr...

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor, which is overexpressed in many types of cancer. The use of EGFR-targeting monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine-kinase inhibitors improves significantly survival of patients with colorectal, non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Detection of EGFR overexpression provides important pr...
