In the post-genome era, epigenetics has received increasing attentions in recent years. The post-translational modifications (PTMs) of four core histones play central roles in epigenetic regulation of eukaryotic genome by either directly altering the biophysical properties of nucleosomes or by recruiting other effector proteins. In order to study the biological functions and structural mechanis...

In this paper, we report on the synthesis of Cu nanoparticles through a single-precursor route by controlling the growth temperature. Selective adsorption of oleylamine on various crystal planes may play an important role in the growth process. The understanding of this self-assembling process will help us develop reliable and reproducible methods to synthesis other three dimensional nanostruct...

Abstract: Microwave processing is one of the novel methods for combustion synthesis of intermetallic compounds andcomposites. This method brings about a lot of opportunities for processing of uniquely characterized materials. In thisstudy, the combustion synthesis of TiAl/Al2O3 composite via microwave heating has been investigated by thedevelopment of a heat transfer model including a microwave...
