The crystalline carbon nanotubes having mesopores that are open at one end, with pore width of 4 ± 0.8 nm, were characterized by XRD, XPS, and HRTEM. The N2 adsorption isotherm of multiwall carbon nanotubes was measured at 77 K. A hump was observed near P/P0 = 0.4 in the adsorption isotherm. The adsorption isotherm was deconvoluted into those on the inner and external surfaces using the separately determined total, inner, and external surface areas. The adsorption isotherm on the inner surface w

We analyze the constraints on $CP$-violating, flavor conserving two Higgs doublet models implied by measurements of Higgs boson properties at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and by the nonobservation of permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of molecules, atoms, and neutrons. We find that the LHC and EDM constraints are largely complementary, with the LHC studies constraining the mixing between the neutral $CP$-even states and the EDMs probing the effect of mixing between the $CP$-even and $CP

We analyze electroweak baryogenesis during a two-step electroweak symmetry-breaking transition, wherein the baryon asymmetry is generated during the first step and preserved during the second. Focusing on the dynamics of $CP$ violation required for asymmetry generation, we discuss general considerations for successful two-step baryogenesis. Using a concrete model realization, we illustrate in detail the viability of this scenario and the implications for present and future electric dipole moment

The thermodynamic Saam−Cole approach including the molecule−surface interaction was applied to explain the critical pore width at which the adsorption hysteresis of N2 on regular mesoporous silica disappears. The difference of the critical thickness of physisorbed layers on the pore wall upon condensation and evaporation was associated with the pore wall roughness inherent to the atomic structures, showing that the critical pore width for the disappearance of the adsorption hysteresis is in the

Spontaneous mutants with various patterns of resistance to pipemidic acid (PPA), piromidic acid (PA), and nalidixic acid (NAL) were isolated from Escherichia coli K-12. Most mutants were less resistant to PPA than to PA and NAL, and some mutants resistant to PA and NAL were hypersusceptible to PPA. As for the mutants tested, resistance to the drugs was conferred by mutations at nalA and new nal genes designated as nalC and nalD, both of which were located at about 82 min on the recalibrated map.

Single-crystal thin films of SrFeO2, which is an oxygen-deficient perovskite with “infinite layers” of Fe2+O2, were prepared by using CaH2 for low-temperature reduction of epitaxial SrFeO2.5 single-crystal films deposited on KTaO3 substrates. This reduction process, removing oxygen ions from the perovskite structure framework and causing rearrangements of oxygen ions, topotactically transforms the brownmillerite SrFeO2.5 to the c-axis oriented SrFeO2.

Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular pathogen and survives within phagocytic cells by escaping from phagosomes into the cytoplasm. It has been reported that, in vivo, L. monocytogenes is effectively eliminated through cell-mediated immunity, especially by macrophages which have been immunologically activated by cytokines such as gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). However, this killing mechanism for L. monocytogenes and the role of macrophage activation in this bacterial killing are u

Herein, we report the rational design of practical small-molecule organic semiconductors based on a π-electron skeleton of benzothieno[3,2-b]naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene (BTNT) whose layered herringbone (LHB) packing is intentionally modulated by the designated asymmetric substitutions with the phenyl group and normal alkyl chains. The thermal stability of the hybrid BTNT core is high enough, as it lies between those of dinaphtho[2,3-b:2′,3′-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DNTT) and benzothieno[3,2-b]benzo
