In this paper, porous metal−organic frameworks (MIL-53 [CrIII (OH).{O2C-C6H4-CO2}.{HO2C-C6H4-CO2H}x]) were hydrothermally synthesized and, then, a hybrid composite of these synthesized porous metal−organic frameworks (MOF) with acid-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was prepared. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunau...

This paper investigates the reliability of an isolated buck-boost DC-DC converter (IBBC) based on configuration a series resonant (SRC). Two approaches are employed to predict IBBC reliability, which MIL-HDBK-217F handbook and FIDES guide. The latter approach can take into account how failure rate components physics is influenced by varying yearly mission profile. To do this, thermal loading ea...

Testing of electronic products railway automation involves assessing the indicators their functional safety and reliability. Reliability standards are very high. Confirmation these is mostly performed by calculation method [8]. For this purpose, branching technique applied. The initial data for calculations reference failure rates elements product under study. In industry methodology, it recomm...

OBJECTIVES To demonstrate that the combination of nonviral murine interleukin (mIL) 2 and mIL-12 gene therapy and external beam radiation therapy (XRT) have an enhanced therapeutic effect for the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in an orthotopic murine model and to elucidate the mechanism of action. DESIGN A randomized, controlled study in a murine HNSCC model. INT...

This paper introduces modal independence logic MIL, a modal logic that can explicitly talk about independence among propositional variables. Formulas of MIL are not evaluated in worlds but in sets of worlds, so called teams. In this vein, MIL can be seen as a variant of Väänänen’s modal dependence logic MDL. We show that MIL embeds MDL and is strictly more expressive. However, on singleton team...

To gain insight into the mechanisms involved in regulating murine interleukin-3 (mIL-3) receptor expression, we have examined the effects of mIL-3 and murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) on mIL-3 receptor internalization and re-expression and studied the relationship between mIL-3 cell surface receptor density and growth factor sensitivity. As a source of cells for...

Arrays of aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube-ionic liquid (MIL) were assembled on silicon wafers (Si-MIL). Formation of Si-MIL was confirmed by FTIR, AFM and Raman techniques. The electrochemical measurements indicated that Si-MIL showed good electrocatalysis towards oxygen reduction compared with MIL drop-cast on a glassy carbon electrode.

H3PMo12O40 molecules have been successfully encapsulated in the cavities of MIL-100(Fe) via a facile hydrothermal method (denoted as HPMo@MIL-100(Fe)). A series of characterization has corroborated the insertion of H3PMo12O40 within the cavities of MIL-100(Fe). The resulting HPMo@MIL-100(Fe) nanocomposites have exhibited much higher photoactivity than the original-MIL-100(Fe) toward the photoca...

A molecular simulation study is reported on glucose recovery from aqueous solutions by adsorption in metal-organic framework MIL-101. The F atom of MIL-101 is identified to be the most favorable adsorption site. Among three MIL-101-X (X = H, NH2 or CH3), the parent MIL-101 exhibits the highest adsorption capacity and recovery efficacy. Upon functionalization by -NH2 or -CH3 group, the steric hi...
