A new class of nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbon/silica (N-OMC/SiO2) nanocomposites was successfully fabricated via a multi-constituent co-assembly strategy. The N-OMC/SiO2 nanocomposite presented a unique interpenetrating carbon/silica structure whose carbon/silica interface is highly uniform, and thus demonstrated high capacity, good cycling and excellent rate properties.

BACKGROUND Mushrooms are well recognized for their culinary properties as well as for their potency to enhance immune response. In the present study, we evaluated anti-inflammatory properties of an edible oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS RAW264.7 murine macrophage cell line and murine splenocytes were incubated with the oyster mushroom concentrate (OMC, 0-10...

Optomechanical crystal (OMC) cavities which exploit the simultaneous photonic and phononic bandgaps in periodic nanostructures have been utilized to colocalize, couple, and transduce optical and mechanical resonances for nonlinear interactions and precision measurements. The development of near-infrared OMC cavities has difficulty in maintaining a high optomechanical coupling rate when scaling ...

objective to determine and compare the spf (sun protection factor) and moisturizing effects of the liposomal and conventional lotion formulations containing octyl methoxycinnamte (omc) as a sunscreen by in vivo methods. materials and methods the multilamellar liposomes (mlvs) containing omc were prepared by fusion method and o/w emulsion was prepared as fda standard sunscreen method. the spfs o...

The exchange of the monocarboxylate ligand of the zirconium methacrylate oxocluster Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4)(OMc)(12) (OMc = CH(2)=CH(CH(3))COO) with dicarboxylic acids (trans,trans muconic acid and terephthalic acid) leads to porous zirconium dicarboxylates exhibiting the UiO-66 architecture; the mild reaction conditions allow the control of their particle size.

The kinetics and mechanism of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the surface Pt PtAgFe catalysts supported by ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) were investigated. Metal particles loaded wet impregnation-reduction method two types OMC, one being surface-modified HNO3 other unmodified. Cyclic voltammetry measurements showed that modified namely Pt/OMC-M, had highest electroactive area among OMC-sup...

Purpose – The paper seeks to indicate where resources should be directed to utilize online marketing communication (OMC) further, including the identification of the diversity of OMC adoption, prioritization and future potential. Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual model of prioritization and potential of OMC, specified as a structural equation model is developed. Research data are colle...

In patients with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM), serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) are generally low, although the pathophysiology of the impaired vitamin D metabolism is not fully understood. In the present study, we have investigated vitamin D metabolism in our newly developed rat model of HHM in which a human infantile fibrosarcoma producing parathyroid hormone-...

Context. The Orion nebula and its associated young stellar cluster are located at the front-side of the optically thick OMC-1 molecular cloud. In order to disentangle the cluster members from background contamination, it is important to know the extinction provided by the OMC-1, which is poorly known, the available measurements yielding contradictory results. Aims. Our main goal is to derive a ...
