Nanostructured films and coatings with controlled surface area, porosity, crystalline orientation, grain sizes, and crystal morphologies are desirable for many applications, including microelectronic devices, chemical and biological sensing and diagnosis, energy conversion and storage (photovoltaic cells, batteries and capacitors, and hydrogen-storage devices), lightemitting displays, catalysis...

It is experimentally challenging to directly obtain structural information of the transition state (TS), the high-energy bottleneck en route from reactants to products, for solution-phase reactions. Here, we use single-molecule experiments as well as high-level quantum chemical calculations to probe the TS of disulfide bond reduction, a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S N2) reaction. We ...

This paper introduces the Pyramidal Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (PCVRP) as a restricted version of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). In the PCVRP each route is required to be pyramidal in a sense generalized from the Pyramidal Traveling Salesman Problem (PTSP). A pyramidal route is defined as a route on which the vehicle first visits customers in increasing order of custom...

sex hormone is supposed to modify pain sensitivity. the aim of the present study was to investigat, the role of 2 adrenergic receptors in nociception using formalin test. formalin test was performed by subcutaneous injection of 50 ml formalin (%2.5) solution into hind paw. animals were divided into 4 groups as control group (intact animal), sham group (received 2µl of artificial csf by icv rout...
