diamondoids are cage-like saturated hydrocarbons consisting of fused cyclohexane rings. thediamondoids family of compounds is one of the best candidates for molecular building blocks (mbbs)in nanotechnology to construct organic nanostructures compared to other mbbs known so far. thechallenge is to find a route for self-assembly of these cage hydrocarbons and their applications in thebottom-up s...

Bottom-up synthesis of cubosomes is more energetically favourable than top-down approaches. However, bottom-up methods often rely on organic solvents such as ethanol diluents, and lead to concurrent formation liposomes. We propose using non-toxic diluents honey, glycerol lactic acid for cubosome synthesis. Cubosomes were prepared solutions phytantriol in a range including choline chloride-glyce...

The cover feature image shows the industrial production of nanosheets. First, ingredients are poured into continuously stirred tank reactor. reacted solution is separated at next tank. suspension nanosheets centrifuged, and obtained packed vessels as concentrated suspensions. practical use requires development a facile versatile synthesis method controlling size low cost to be scaled up. More i...

Modeling phonetic context is one of the key points to get natural sounding in concatenative speech synthesis. In this paper, a new quantitative method to model context has been proposed. In the proposed method, the context is measured as the distance between leafs of the top-down likelihood-based decision trees that have been grown during the construction of acoustic inventory. Unlike other con...
