1, 4-Diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane (DABCO) was employed as a catalyst for one-pot synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d] pyrimidinone derivatives and MWNT- pyrimidinones from condensation reactions of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and thiobarbituric acid and MWNT-COCl . This method delivers the advantages of a simple method, environment friendly procedure, mild reaction conditions and high returns. The m...

Although ultrasound cavitation must be avoided for safe diagnostic applications, the ability of ultrasound to disrupt cell membranes has taken on increasing significance as a method to facilitate drug and gene delivery. A new ultrasonic resonance driving method is introduced to penetrate rigid wall plant cells or oocytes with springy cell membranes. When a reasonable design is created, ultrasou...

Flexural ultrasonic transducers are principally used as proximity sensors and for industrial metrology. Their operation relies on a piezoelectric ceramic to generate a flexing of a metallic membrane, which delivers the ultrasound signal. The performance of flexural ultrasonic transducers has been largely limited to excitation through a short voltage burst signal at a designated mechanical reson...

A novel method of fabricating water-soluble bio-probes with ultra-small size such as NaYF4:Yb,Er (18 nm), NaGdF4:Yb,Er (8 nm), CaF2:Yb,Er (10 nm), PbS (7 nm), and ZnS (12 nm) has been developed to provide for the solubility switch of nanoparticles from oil-soluble to water-soluble in terms of hydrion rivalry aided by ultrasonic. Using NaYF4:Yb,Er (18 nm) as an example, we evaluate the propertie...

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a non-invasive technique which, by means of a spectrum, can be used to reveal the presence of certain molecules in a specific area. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy uses a strong external magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses to detect the magnetic resonance signal of nuclei which possess magnetic spin. Several biologically interesting atomic nuclei are suit...
