Effective intercalation of protein molecules within the galleries of montmorillonites can be achieved via simple space enlarging and exchange processes while retaining the native conformation of the guest protein and the multilayered structure of the bioinert host plates. The capacity of accommodating protein molecules in the galleries can be markedly larger than that governed by the Langmuir-t...

Hybrid finite element (FE) boundary integral (BI) analysis of infinite periodic arrays is extended to include planar multilayered Green’s functions. In this manner, a portion of the volumetric dielectric region ci~n be modeled via the finite element method whereas uniform multilayered regions can be modeled using a multilayered Green’s function. As such, thick uniform substrates can be modeled ...

Recent syntheses of ruthenium complexes of [2.2]paracyclophane provided a highly interesting class of compounds, the multilayered transition metal complexes of cyclophanes. The present study discloses that arene-metal exchange procedures with ferrocene derivatives, effected either photochemically or by Lewis acid catalysis, are convenient methods for preparing the analogous multilayered iron co...

Multilayered cell sheets have been produced from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for investigating their adhesion properties onto native porcine heart tissue. Once MSCs reached confluence after a 7-day culture on a temperature-responsive culture dish, a MSCs monolayer spontaneously detached itself from the dish, when the culture temperature was reduced from 37 to 20°C. The bas...

Recent empirical studies using large-scale data sets have validated the Granovetter hypothesis on the structure of the society in that there are strongly wired communities connected by weak ties. However, as interaction between individuals takes place in diverse contexts, these communities turn out to be overlapping. This implies that the society has a multilayered structure, where the layers r...

This paper presents the input impedance measurement of a human body communication electrode by using newly developed multilayered phantom. Based on the comparison between analysis and measurement values, it was found that the multilayered phantom can be used for accurate evaluation.

We study plasmonic waveguides with dielectric cores and hyperbolic multilayer claddings. The proposed design provides better performance in terms of propagation length and mode confinement in comparison to conventional designs, such as metal-insulator-metal and insulator-metal-insulator plasmonic waveguides. We show that the proposed structures support long-range surface plasmon modes, which ex...

X-ray diffraction measurements were performed on Co?Pt1-?/Pd, Co/Pd, Co/Fe, and Co/W multilayer samples with different structures, such as Co?Pt1-? alloy layer composition ?, bilayer thickness, and number of bilayers. Multilayer samples were made by magnetron sputtering in a chamber with multi-parallel guns and a position controllable substrate. Co?Pt1-? alloy layers were deposited by cosputter...
