Perovskite thin films with various functional properties have been synthesized through the Metal Organic Chemical Vapour Deposition (MOCVD). The MOCVD processes, used for the fabrication of a variety of advanced materials in thin film form, rely upon application of a molten multi-element source. The challenging in-situ strategy involves the use of a molten source consisting of a second-generati...

3-Methylindole, a ruminal fermentation product of tryptophan, induces acute pulmonary edema and emphysema in cattle, and 3-methylindole is present in the ruminal fluid and blood of cows with a natually occurring form of this disease. Monensin, a polyether antibiotic and widely used feed additive for beef cattle, prevented tryptophan-induced acute bovine pulmonary edema and emphysema. Monensin a...

A series of chalcone-based macrocyclic ethers have been synthesized. These macrocyclic ethers contain polyether as well as extended conjugation to the benzene ring to function as fluorescent sensor for cations. The modeling studies show that the chalcone part of the receptors remains partially out of plane from the polyether part and the keto moiety of the receptors always directed outwardly in...

Tetronomycin, C34H50O8, isolated from a strain of Streptomyces sp. nov. represents a novel polycyclic ionophore polyether. The crystal structure and absolute configuration were established by X-ray analysis of the mono-O-acetyltetronomycin silver salt. Tetronomycin is the first metabolic polyether which contains a tetronic acid moiety instead of the essential carboxylic acid function. A trisubs...

The importance of accurate, reliable recording mediums cannot be understated. Function and esthetics are directly related to this critical step. Dental recording materials must be accurate, easily manipulated, and economical for effective use. Five types of intraoral records of 31 patients were registered and placed on an arcon, semiadjustable articulator to measure the magnitude and direction ...

We investigate the pretilt characteristics of a nematic liquid crystal [LC] in terms of ion beam exposure conditions on the homeotropic polyimide alignment layer. The pretilt angle of LCs in the case of high-energy ion beam treatment was decreased considerably almost the same to that of the homogenous alignment layer though we used homeotropic polyimide film at first. Increasing irradiating ene...

Dental impression is an important step in the preparation of prostheses since it provides the reproduction of anatomic and surface details of teeth and adjacent structures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the linear dimensional alterations in gypsum dies obtained with different elastomeric materials, using a resin coping impression technique with individual shells. A master cast mad...
