We report on the synthesis of monodisperse, flower-like, liquid crystalline (LC) polymer particles by precipitation polymerization a LC mixture consisting benzoic acid-functionalized acrylates and disulfide-functionalized diacrylates. Introduction minor amount redox-responsive diacrylates (≤10 wt %) induced formation flower-like shapes. The shape can be tuned from flower- to disk-like spherical...

The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from the stem, leaf and flower of Phlomis aucheri Boiss., which is endemic to Iran, stem, leaf and root of Teucrium polium L. and solvent free microwave extraction oil from leaf of Ajuga chamaecistus Ging. subsp. chamaecistus were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Germacrene D (11.1%, 28.3% and 21.1%) was the main constituent in the stem, leaf and flower...

Herein, we report a facile synthesis, characterization and dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) application of flower-shaped ZnO nanostructures. The flower-shaped ZnO nanostructures were synthesized by low-temperature hydrothermal process and characterized in detail by several techniques. The detailed morphological studies confirmed that the flower-shaped structures are formed by the accumulation o...

Large-scale controllable fabrication of highly roughened flower-like silver nanostructures is demonstrated experimentally via electrodeposition in the liquid crystalline phase. Different sizes of silver flowers are fabricated by adjusting the deposition time and the concentration of the silver nitrate solution. The density of the silver flowers in the sample is also controllable in this work. T...

FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) encodes a mobile signal protein, recognized as major component of florigen, which has a central position in regulating flowering, and also plays important roles in various physiological aspects. A mode is recently emerging for the balance of indeterminate and determinate growth, which is controlled by the ratio of FT-like and TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1)-like gene activities,...

In this study, the chemical composition and antioxidant antidiabetic properties of S. elaeagnifolium flower (SEFl), fruit (SEFr), leaf (SEFe) extracts were investigated in vitro silico. HPLC-DAD analysis was used to determine components. Colorimetric techniques identify polyphenols flavonoids. The capacity determined using DPPH TAC assays. activity examined enzymes α-amylase α-glucosidase. Mole...

Abstract A low-crystallinity index chalcedony was found in the rhyolitic ignimbrite of Late Jurassic Zhangjiakou Formation, located Longhua County, Hebei Province, China. This occurs as fillings along fragile fractures host rock and is distinct from any other deposits, such known basalt carbonate-related types. The ignimbrite, comprising sanidine (50–70 vol.%), plagioclase (10–15 quartz (8–10 m...

Simulating SiO2 with the two-body potential developed by van Beest, Kramers, and van Santen (BKS) produces many satisfactory results but also characteristic flaws. We investigate these failures of the BKS potential and compare the performance of the BKS potential with that of two recently suggested potential energy surfaces that effectively incorporate many-body interactions. One approach, whic...
