This paper reviews the theory of metastable defect formation in compensated n-type silicon. By means of minority carrier lifetime measurements before and after defect activation we investigate the impact of 3 potential metastable defects relevant to the solar industry: Iron-boron pairs, chromium-boron pairs and the boron-oxygen defect.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an anticancer drug. In this work, we have investigated the electronic properties and topological analysis of interaction between 5-FU and carbon nanocone and BN nanocone. The structural stability of isomer complexes of 5-FU with carbon nanocone and BN nanocone have been investigated for two position of interactions. We have found that the most stable complexes are forme...

The epoxidation of alkenes was carried out over a CuO/Al(2)O(3) catalyst using cumene as an oxygen carrier, through a one-pot reaction, giving high conversion and selectivity with different substrates. Trans-β-methylstyrene gave the corresponding epoxide in 95% yield after 3 h.

A series of hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier candidates (HBOC), previously noted for their differences in prooxidative and physiological reactivity, were compared in terms of the negative effects displayed upon injection in Wistar rats. At the concentrations tested, antioxidant strategies based on albumin as well as based on rubrerythrin appear to offer observable physiological advantages.

Although viscosity (mu) is a crucial factor in measurements of flow with a pneumotachograph, and density (rho) also plays a role in the presence of turbulent flow, these material constants are not available for the volatile anaesthetic agents commonly administered in clinical practice. Thus, we determined experimentally mu and rho of pure volatile anaesthetic agents. Input impedance of a rigid-...

In the epoxidation of ethylene to oxide using chemical looping, Ag is supported on strontium ferrite perovskite, where acts as catalyst while perovskite an oxygen carrier. This study explores how various carriers based affect looping epoxidation. The structure carrier was varied by incorporating different ratios two phases: cubic SrFeO3, and a layered Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phase: Sr3Fe2O7. Max...
