"We study the properties of a soliton crystal, a bound state of several optical pulses that propagate with a fixed temporal separation through the optical fibres of the proposed approach for generation of optical frequen...

Part 1 Liquid crystals - main types and properties: introduction - what is a liquid crystal? the building blocks nematics and cholesterics smectics columnar phases more on long-, quasi-long and short-range order remarkab...

We report free-standing atomic crystals that are strictly 2D and can be viewed as individual atomic planes pulled out of bulk crystals or as unrolled single-wall nanotubes. By using micromechanical cleavage, we have prep...

En este trabajo se estudió experimentalmente la influencia sobre la estabilidad de espumas en aerosol de concentrados con aspecto nacarado y, en algunos casos, además con características líquida cristalinas. Tanto el...

Cordia americana (L.) Gottschling & J.S. Mill. is a tree which belongs to the Boraginaceae family and is native to the South of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentine, where it is commonly known as guajuvira and guayaibí. In fo...

Baccharis is an important genus of Asteraceae and it comprehends approximately 400 species, many of which are frequently used in folk medicine as analgesic, diuretic, spasmolytic, antidiabetic, antiseptic and stomachic. ...

The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate 6-O-palmitoyl ascorbic acid (ASC16) and 6-O-lauril ascorbic acid (ASC12) for their capacity to promote permeation of Ibuprofen (IBU) through hairless mouse skin in...

In this research, birefringent emulsions stabilized with Steareth-2 and Steareth-21 were studied. Some authors attributed to them a liquid-crystalline structure, although the microphotographs presented by them as an ev...

Spherical crystallization (SC) is a promising alternative for improiving micromeritic properties and dissolution rate of active pharmaceutical ingredients. In the present work spherical agglomerates of carvedilol (CAR) w...

The chloroform extract of Cladonia substellata Vainio was assayed against larvae of Aedes aegypti, the mosquito vector of Dengue fever and Artemia salina. The extract was tested at concentrations ranging from 1 to 15 ppm...

Species of Brunfelsia, whose flowers change colour progressively from violet to white, are popularly known as yesterday-today-tomorrow and used in folk medicine, mainly as anesthetic and diuretic. Based on ethnobotanical...

Glechon spathulata Benth. (Lamiaceae) is a native plant in Brazil popularly known as "mangerona-do-campo". This plant is a perennial sub-shrub with aromatic leaves used in South America as a condiment and in traditional ...

New protein parameters are reported for the all-atom empirical energy function in the CHARMM program. The parameter evaluation was based on a self-consistent approach designed to achieve a balance between the internal (b...

CHARMM (Chemistry at HARvard Molecular Mechanics) is a highly versatile and widely used molecular simulation program. It has been developed over the last three decades with a primary focus on molecules of biological inte...

This article reviews the current status of lattice-dynamical calculations in crystals, using density-functional perturbation theory, with emphasis on the plane-wave pseudopotential method. Several specialized topics are ...

Principles of Optics is one of the classic science books of the twentieth century, and probably the most influential book in optics published in the past 40 years. The new edition is the first ever thoroughly revised and...

Raman spectra are reported from single crystals of graphite and other graphite materials. Single crystals of graphite show one single line at 1575 cm−1. For the other materials like stress-annealed pyrolitic graphite, ...
