Nano Al films were prepared on AZ31 magnesium alloy samples by DC magnetron sputtering. The effects of sputtering power the microstructure and corrosion resistance film investigated. results show that surface aluminum is dense polycrystalline state, it oriented along (111) crystal plane. grain size first increases then decreases with increase power. When exceeds 100 W, there no insignificant ef...

Molecular targeted drugs are clinically effective anti-cancer therapies. However, tumours treated with single agents usually develop resistance. Here we use colorectal cancer (CRC) as a model to study how the acquisition of resistance to EGFR-targeted therapies can be restrained. Pathway-oriented genetic screens reveal that CRC cells escape from EGFR blockade by downstream activation of RAS-MEK...

Decay and mold resistance of zinc borate (ZB) and calcium borate (CB) modified oriented strandboard (OSB) from southern mixed hardwoods and yellow pine was investigated in this study. Tests were done with brown rot, Gloeophyllum trabeum, and white-rot, Trametes versicolar, fungi for 8 and 12 weeks, respectively. Wood species and fungus type had significant influence on the decay resistance. Dec...

We consider simple random walk on the incipient infinite cluster for the spread-out model of oriented percolation on Zd × Z+. In dimensions d > 6, we obtain bounds on exit times, transition probabilities, and the range of the random walk, which establish that the spectral dimension of the incipient infinite cluster is 4 3 , and thereby prove a version of the Alexander– Orbach conjecture in this...

Natural products are a major source of biological molecules. The 3-methylfuran scaffold is found in a variety of plant secondary metabolite chemical elicitors that confer host-plant resistance against insect pests. Herein, the diversity-oriented synthesis of a natural-product-like library is reported, in which the 3-methylfuran core is fused in an angular attachment to six common natural produc...

the most important goal of each society, is to reach economic development. as the goal and agent of development, man has got an important responsibility, which responsibility is realized by way of education, specially higher education, because the universities are the main factors for progress, production of knowledge and education of specialized human forces and they play a significant role in...

We have studied PET/0.6 PHB, an alternating copolymer in which PET is poly(ethylene terephthalate) and PHB is p-hydroxybenzoic acid with the mole fraction of 0.6 PHB. It is a longitudinal polymer liquid crystal (PLC) with the LC sequences in the main chain and oriented along the chain backbone. Material not subjected to the magnetic field, specimens oriented along and perpendicularly to the flu...

We have prepared nearly perfect hexagonal m-plane-oriented RbxWO3 films on (010)-oriented RbLaNb2O7 layers. The prepared bilayer films showed Rb diffusion from the RbLaNb2O7 seed layers, and we obtained uniaxially oriented RbxWO3/Rb1-yLaNb2O7 photoanodes. The RbxWO3/Rb1-yLaNb2O7 bilayer photoanodes exhibited enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting compared with the RbxWO3 and RbLaNb2O7 mo...

The novel oriented electrospun nanofiber membrane composed of MOFs and SPPESK has been synthesized for proton exchange membrane fuel cell operating at high temperature and anhydrous conditions. It is clear that the oriented nanofiber membrane displays the higher proton conductivity than that of the disordered nanofiber membrane or the membrane prepared by conventional solvent-casting method (wi...
