Carbon-supported gold nanoparticles (Au/C) are successfully decorated with monoor sub-monolayer palladium atoms with different Pd/Au atomic ratios by a chemically epitaxial seeded growth method. TEM, UV–vis spectrometry and XRD techniques are used to characterize the particle size, dispersion, palladium coverage on gold seeds and crystal structures of the prepared catalysts. Cyclic voltammetric...

Over the past year or so, there have been a number of advances regarding the structure and assembly of microtubules. Examples are kinesin-decorated microtubules (akin to decorated actomyosin), the direct visualization of GTP at microtubule ends, the expression of tubulins via chaperones, further effects of microtubule-associated proteins, drugs, and nucleotides on dynamic instability, and the b...

TiO₂-based composites have been paid significant attention in the photocatalysis field. The size, crystallinity and nanomorphology of TiO₂ materials have an important effect on the photocatalytic efficiency. The synthesis and photocatalytic activity of TiO₂-based materials have been widely investigated in past decades. Based on our group's research works on TiO₂ materials, this review introduce...

A contiuation of [5]. The notions of finite-order trees, succesors of an element of a tree, and chains, levels and branches of a tree are introduced. Those notions are used to formalize König’s Lemma which claims that there is a infinite branch of a finite-order tree if the tree has arbitrary long finite chains. Besides, the concept of decorated trees is introduced and some concepts dealing wit...

We present a new translation model that include undecorated hierarchical-style phrase rules, decorated source-syntax rules, and partially decorated rules. Results show an increase in translation performance of up to 0.8% BLEU for German–English translation when trained on the news-commentary corpus, using syntactic annotation from a source language parser. We also experimented with annotation f...

Genistein (5,7,4′-trihydroxyisoflavone) is an isoflavone abundantly found in soy and other legumes acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). When testing for similar abilities among flavonoids, it has been to be strong topoisomerase inhibitor. Similar some high-dose chemotherapy drugs, was strongly toxic normal cells. In this study, the adsorption of genistein on surface exclusive...
