The n-type tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) polycrystalline thin films have been prepared at an optimized parameters (0.20M, 5 ml and 500oC) using jet nebulizer spray pyrolysis (JNSP) technique. Such prepared WO 3 films were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDAX, UV-vis from I-V. The XRD pattern of the optimized WO 3 film reveals the monoclinic structure. The SEM and EDAX images shows that the surface morpholo...

The weak order polytope P n WO is the polytope in R n(n?1) whose ver-tices correspond to the members of the family of reeexive weak orders on f1; 2 : : : ; ng when each coordinate of R n(n?1) is associated with a diierent ordered pair (i; j) of distinct points in f1; 2; : : : ; ng. The vertex w that corresponds to weak order W has w (i;j) = 1 if i-j in W and has w (i;j) = 0 otherwise, with P n ...

Persimmon-like NaLa(WO(4))(2) microarchitectures were prepared via hydrothermal process with using trisodium citrate (Na(3)Cit) as chelated reagent and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), photoluminescence (PL), and fluorescent dynamics. The influences of Na(3)Cit concentration, organic additivities, and reaction time on the morphologi...

The branched-chain amino acid leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis in part by directly activating the mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, leucine, if given in conjunction with resistance exercise, enhances the exercise-induced mTOR signaling and protein synthesis. Here we tested whether leucine can activate the mTOR anabolic signaling pathway in uremia and whether it can enhance work ov...

The rich structure of the set of dyadic PFW’s has been presented in [6]. As mentioned in [6, Remark 3.7], the subclass of the so called non-W0-frames with various levels of W0-linear independence (denoted by P0,+ in [6]) needs extra attention. The recent observation in [4] on W0-Schauder bases enables us to properly restructure this subclass (P0,+) and to show that it contains a wealth of examp...

We report on the use of (kraft and soda) lignins as polymeric amphiphiles for the stabilization of emulsions. Lignins’ phase behavior in oil/water systems is presented and explained in terms of their molecular affinities. Emulsions with various oils (including crude oils) were formulated and their properties were rationalized in terms of lignin surface activity as a function of pH and salinity....

Experimental observations of the evaporation characteristics of water-in-fuel emulsion droplets in film boiling on a hot horizontal surface are reported. Detailed measurements of the temporal variation of equivalent droplet diameter for water-in-heptane and water-in-decane emulsions are made at surface temperatures of 565,620 and 680 K. Experiments are performed at atmospheric pressure and init...

Lipid emulsions containing long-chain triglycerides (LCT) and medium chain triglycerides (MCT) are widely used in parenteral nutrition. Recently, fish oil (FO) triglyceride (TG)-derived emulsions are considered therapeutic because of their many beneficial biological modulatory actions. We investigated in mice whether adding 10% FO to an intravenous lipid emulsion with MCT and LCT (MCT:LCT:FO -5...

Unmodified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles do not stabilize Pickering emulsions of a polar oil like butyl butyrate. In order to obtain stable emulsions, the Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were modified by either carboxylic acid (RCOOH) or silane coupling agents (RSi(OC(2)H(5))(3)) to increase their hydrophobicity. The influence of such surface modification on the stability of the resultant Pickering emulsions...

Bismuth tungstate has attracted great attention as a new photocatalyst working under visible irradiation. In this paper, we demonstrate a facile hydrothermal route for controllable synthesis of novel Bi(2)WO(6) hierarchical hollow spheres with an ultrahigh specific surface area in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) at a proper C(2)H(5)OH/CH(3)COOH/H(2)O volume ratio. The obtained products ...
