Water pollution is a growing environmental issue which severely threatens human health. Consequently, development of novel materials for water purification and waste treatment is an important research topic. Functional nanomaterials exhibiting photocatalytic properties, along with a very high surface area, have been widely investigated, since these nanostructures are quite effective in the degr...

UV range light was used for the facile, effective and large-scale synthesis of visible light emitting, surface-protected silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) starting from an amine-functionalized alkoxy silane precursor. Within mild and easy hydrolysis/condensation environments, the use of an amine-functionalized precursor together with a reducing agent resulted in a bright visible green light that co...

Rapid turnover of actin structures is required for dynamic remodeling of the cytoskeleton and cell morphogenesis, but the mechanisms driving actin disassembly are poorly defined. Cofilin plays a central role in promoting actin turnover by severing/depolymerizing filaments. Here, we analyze the in vivo function of a ubiquitous actin-interacting protein, Aip1, suggested to work with cofilin. We p...

Decorated characters are widely used in various documents. Practical optical character reader is required to deal with not only common fonts but also complex designed fonts. However, since appearances of decorated characters are complicated, most general character recognition systems cannot give good performances on decorated characters. In this paper, an algorithm that can extract character’s ...

A meromorphic projective structure on a punctured Riemann surface X∖P is determined, after fixing standard X, by quadratic differential with poles of order three or more at each puncture in P. In this article we prove the analogue Thurston's grafting theorem for such structures, that involves crowned hyperbolic surfaces. This also provides description structures C have polynomial Schwarzian der...

We classify Brauer graph algebras up to derived equivalence by showing that the set of invariants introduced Antipov is complete. These first appeared in representation theory finite groups and can be defined for any suitably decorated on an oriented surface. Motivated connection between gentle we consider A∞-trivial extensions partially wrapped Fukaya categories associated surfaces with bounda...

for the first time in the minkowski space, an rn 1 time-like complementary ruled surface isdescribed and relations are given connected with an asymptotic and tangential bundle of the time-likecomplementary ruled surface. furthermore, theorems are given related to edge space, central space andcentral ruled surface of this complementary ruled surface.

The concepts of root tree, the set of successors of a node in decorated tree and sets of subtrees are introduced. Let us mention that every tree which is finite is also finite-order. Next we state three propositions: (1) For every decorated tree t holds tε N = t. (2) For every tree t and for all finite sequences p, q of elements of N such that p q ∈ t holds t(p q) = tpq. (3) Let t be a decorate...

The phenylboronic acid-conjugated chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by particle surface modification. The size, zeta potential and morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential measurement and transmission electron microscopy. The cellular uptake, tumor penetration, biodistribution and antitumor activity of the nanoparticles were evaluated by ...
