Context. The bipolar HH 212 outflow has been mapped in SiO using the extended configuration of the Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI), revealing a highly collimated SiO jet closely associated with the H2 jet component. Aims. We study at unprecedented resolution (0. ′′34 across the jet axis) the properties of the innermost SiO “microjet” within 1000 AU of this young Class 0 source, to compare...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To evaluate outer retinal changes present on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in eyes pre- and post-silicone oil (SiO) removal (SOR). PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective case series of patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with SiO instillation and had SD-OCT completed pre- and post-SOR. SD-OCT parameters included presence of subretinal flui...

The structural-phase transformations induced by air annealing of SiO x and SiO x  < Er,F > films were studied by the combined use of infrared spectroscopy and ellipsometry. The films were prepared using vacuum evaporation of SiO powder and co-evaporation of SiO and ErF3 powders. The annealing took place at moderate temperatures (750 and 1000 °C). It was found that the micro- and macrostructure ...

Building on the detection of the J = 7−6 SiO maser emission in both the v = 1 and v = 2 vibrational states towards the symbiotic Mira, R Aquarii, we have used the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope to study the changes in the SiO maser features from R Aqr over a stellar pulsational period. The observations, complemented by contemporaneous data taken at 86GHz, represent a test of the popular thermal-...

In order to reduce the primary particle size of zinc oxide (ZnO) and eliminate the agglomeration phenomenon to form a monodisperse state, Zn2+ was loaded on the surface of amorphous silica (SiO₂) by the hydrogen bond association between hydroxyl groups in the hydrothermal process. After calcining the precursors, dehydration condensation among hydroxyl groups occurred and ZnO nanoparticles suppo...

Amorphous twisted SiO(2) nanobelts have been synthesized on Si wafers using facile thermal evaporation. These nanobelts are produced together with SiO(2) nanowires and a small quantity of SiO(2) nanosprings. Spectral and microstructural analyses suggest that the twisted SiO(2) nanobelts and nanosprings form via a polar surface driven process. Spontaneous polarization on the very thin polar crys...

a library of benzimidazole derivatives have been prepared through the reaction of o-phenylenediamine and aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amount of silica supported sodium hydrogen sulphate (NaHSO4-SiO2) under refluxing in ethanol solvent to obtained excellent yields. This method is simple, convenient, environmental friendly, reusable, efficient and practical.

Abstract: Metal organic framework (MOF) of MIL-101(Cr)-Silica (SiO₂) composites with highly mesoporous and uniform dispersions were synthesized by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method followed by the sol-gel technique. Water vapor adsorption experiments were conducted on the MIL-101(Cr)-SiO₂ composites for industrial adsorption chiller applications. The effects of MIL-101(Cr)-SiO₂ mixing ra...

Ultra-hydrophobic bilayer coatings on a glass surface were fabricated by sol-gel process using hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (C16TMS) and tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) (1:4 molar ratio) as precursors. After coating, silica nanoparticles (SiO₂ NPs) functionalized with different mono-alkoxy derivatives (methoxytrimethylsilane, TMeMS; ethoxydimethylvinylsilane, DMeVES; ethoxydimethylphenylsilane, DMePhES;...
