The development of new polymerizable lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) utilizing charged amphiphilic molecules such as those based on long chain imidazolium compounds, is a relatively new design direction for producing robust membranes with controllable nano-structures. Here we have developed a novel polymerizable ionic liquid based LLC, 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium acrylate (C16mimAcr), wher...

 Synchronisation Synchronisation is referred in Physics as a phenomenon occurring when two or many components of a complex system adjust a given property of their motion to a common behaviour, due to coupling or forcing. Our system addresses the synchronisation of affective behaviour in terms of the phase synchronisation of the time-series of the emotional features describing the emotional beh...

nanostructured iron oxide powder that has been recovered from waste pickling liquor unit of steel industry was studied for oxidation catalytic applications. in this research, the powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transition electron microscopy (tem) for determination of phase structure, morphology and particle size. furthermore, the specific surface area of the powder was ...

INTERACTIONS, PHASE BEHAVIOUR AND HEALTH RESEARCH Protein-protein interactions govern phase behaviour and stability in protein solutions. For this reason, they are relevant to the understanding of physiological and pathological processes, and crucial for the formulation and storage of biopharmaceuticals. Thus, a better understanding of protein-protein interactions and their effects as a functio...

We propose a new criterion to analyse the order of phase transitions within a finite size scaling analysis. It refers to response functions like order parameter susceptibilities and the specific heat and states different monotony behaviour in volume for first and second order transitions close to the transition point. The criterion applies to analytical and numerical studies of phase diagrams i...
