Elastomeric materials for sealing devices operated in the Far North, including Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), must be resistant to working environments and have frost wear resistance with acceptable physical mechanical properties. Some listed properties are mutually exclusive not always achievable based on individual rubber. Thus, one promising method elastomeric is use rubber mixtures. In this s...

The title compound [Co(C22H26N4O4)]PF6, commonly known as [Co(bpcd)]PF6, where bpcd(2-) is derived from the historical ligand name N,N'-bis-(2-pyridyl-meth-yl)-trans-1,2-di-amino-cyclo-hexane-N,N'-di-acetate, crystallized by slow evaporation of a saturated aceto-nitrile solution in air. The cation of the hexa-fluorido-phosphate salt has the Co(III) atom in a distorted octa-hedral coordination g...

BACKGROUND The activator P14K is necessary for the activation of nitrile hydratase (NHase). However, it is hard to be expressed heterogeneously. Although an N-terminal strep tagged P14K could be successfully expressed from Pseudomonas putida, various strategies for the over-expression of P14K are needed to facilitate further application of NHase. RESULTS P14K was successfully expressed throug...

This paper presents a numerical study of microwave scattering and emission from a foamcovered ocean surface. The foam layer is modeled as an inhomogeneous layer with randomly rough airfoam and foam-seawater boundaries. Kelvin’s Tetrakaidecahedron structure is selected as the skeleton for simulating the air bubbles in the foam layer. The electromagnetic characteristics of the foam layer, includi...

abstract: background: release of volatile organic compounds (vocs) in industrial and urban area have adverse effects on human health and  environment. the aim of this study was removal of gaseous toluene, as the most of pollutants among vocs, by using of tio 2 nanoparticles coated on nickel foam substrate. methods: tio 2 nanoparticles prepared by sol gel method and coated on nickel foam. morpho...
