Simulating Vibronic Spectra without Born-Oppenheimer Surfaces
(ACS Publications, 2021-04-01)
We show how linear vibronic spectra in molecular systems can be simulated efficiently using first-principles approaches without relying on the explicit use of multiple Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surfaces. We demonstrate ...
Biogenic Synthesis and Cytotoxic Effects of Silver Nanoparticles Mediated by White Rot Fungi
(Elsevier, 2021-03-16)
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized using silver nitrate via the biological route using the culture filtrate of Ganoderma enigmaticum as well as Trametes ljubarskyi white rot fungi materials at room ...
Essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids Tune Microglial Phagocytosis of Synaptic Elements in the Mouse Developing Brain
(Nature, 2020-11-30)
Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are essential for the functional maturation of the brain. Westernization of dietary habits in both developed and developing countries is accompanied by a progressive reduction in dietary ...
A microfluidic column of water index-matched packed microspheresfor label-free observation of water pollutants
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-28)
A microfluidic, label-free optical sensor for water pollutants, which is based on a packed micro-column of microspheres with refractive index similar to that of water, is presented. The perfluoropolyether microspheres are ...
Nanoparticle-Doped Hybrid Polyelectrolyte Microcapsules with Controlled Photoluminescence for Potential Bioimaging Applications
(MDPI, 2021-11-24)
Fluorescent imaging is widely used in the diagnosis and tracking of the distribution, interaction, and transformation processes at molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. To be detectable, delivery systems should exhibit ...
Evaluating Sustainability of Mass Rapid Transit Stations in Dubai
(MDPI, 2021-11-23)
A transport business that has reached financial sustainability is one that is providing a service at a price that not only covers its costs but also creates a profit for upcoming contingencies. A focus on rail infrastructure ...
CO2 Capture by Reduced Graphene Oxide Monoliths with Incorporated CeO2 Grafted with Functionalized Polymer Brushes
(MDPI, 2021-11-24)
The monolithic materials of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) can be used successfully in CO2 adsorption. Here, the incorporation of CeO2 particles with and without polymer brushes grafted from the particles showed that the ...
Regulating Grip Forces through EMG-Controlled Protheses for Transradial Amputees
(MDPI, 2021-11-25)
This study aims to evaluate different combinations of features and algorithms to be used in the control of a prosthetic hand wherein both the configuration of the fingers and the gripping forces can be controlled. This ...
High-Harmonic Generation from Spin-Polarised Defects in Solids
(Nature, 2020-01-31)
The generation of high-order harmonics in gases enabled to probe the attosecond electron dynamics in atoms and molecules with unprecedented resolution. Extending these techniques to solids, which were originally developed ...
Interplay of Spin-Orbit Coupling and Coulomb Interaction in ZnO-Based Electron System
(Springer, 2021-05-26)
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is pivotal for various fundamental spin-dependent phenomena in solids and their technological applications. In semiconductors, these phenomena have been so far studied in relatively weak ...
