The isomerization barriers for the single-vacancy-defected C,, on the triplet potential energy surface (PES) are lower than those on the singlet PES. The symmetric double-vacancy-defected (10,0) SWCNT is the most stable one among the models investigated. According to the analyses of frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), nature bond orbitals, and local density of states, introduction of vacancy on the SWCNT decreases the band gap of semiconducting SWCNT, increases the band gap of conducting SWCNT, destructs the pi conjugation of the FMOs, and gives rise to enhanced chemical activity.

We simply mix the dispersions of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)(PVP)-protected Ag and Rh nanoparticles in solution at room temperature. We found that the mixture of dispersions forms bimetallic nanoparticles in a pseudo-core/shell structure on standing. We call this process the {\textquoteright}self-assembling{\textquoteright} or {\textquoteright}self-organizing{\textquoteright}. In this study we seek for a thermodynamic driving force for this process by determining the enthalpy of the interaction among three pairs of nanoparticles by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The results indicate that the interaction between each pair is strongly exothermic, and that among the pairs studied here the strength of the exothermic interaction is in the order of Ag/Pt<Ag/Pd<Ag/Rh.},

	abstract = {The motuporamines are macrocyclic alkaloids that inhibit tumor cell invasion by an, as yet, unknown mechanism. A structure-activity study recently identified dihydromotuporamine C (dhMotC) as a highly active and readily synthesized analogue. Here, we show that dhMotC causes subtle cytoskeletal alterations in highly invasive MDA231 breast tumor cells that include an increase in the thickness and number of cytoplasmic actin stress fibers. Experiments with serum-starved Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts showed that micromolar concentrations of dhMotC that inhibit tumor cell invasion induce the formation of new stress fibers and large focal adhesion complexes that are dispersed around the entire cell periphery. dhMotC treatment of Swiss 3T3 cells also initiates a strong, long-lived activation of the small GTP-binding protein Rho, and it stimulates Rho kinase-dependent sodium-proton exchanger activity. Liposome-mediated cell loading of C3 exoenzyme prevents dhMotC-mediated Rho activation and stress fiber formation in 3T3 cells. C3 exoenzyme loading also reestablishes elongated MDA231 breast tumor cell invasion in the presence of dhMotC. Taken together, these results indicate that the ability to activate Rho is one important determinant of the anti-invasive activity of dhMotC.},

	abstract = {Using AFM/XRD/XPS methods, in this paper, we investigate protonation and deprotonation processes in single-crystal samples of orthorhombic molybdenum trioxide (alpha-MoO3). At low temperatures, a small part of alpha-MoO3 is changed to needlelike HxMoO3 (x approximate to 0.33) along <203> directions in a H2S/H-2 gas stream. When these elongated crystallites assemble into a maze structure, the growth of HxMoO3 is gradually ceased due to closing entrance for hydrogen. At higher temperatures, the needlelike HxMoO3 crystallites turn to a growth perpendicular to <203>, which leads to the formation of HxMoO3 blocks. It is observed that the basal plane of alpha-MoO3 is severely buckled upon the protonation. Surface sulfidation is also observed. The formed HxMoO3 or surface MOS2, however, can be readily converted back to their original-phase alpha-MoO3 in air at 350-400 degreesC. This oxidation process gives rise to a flattened (010) topography (i.e., debuckling) on which shallowly divided alpha-MoO3 surface blocks bounded with {101} planes are formed. When an alpha-MoO3 (010) plane embedded with nanocrystallites is used to create surface stress or nucleation sites, the insertion mode of hydrogen along <001> is further reconfirmed in this work. A correlation of surface/bulk phases upon various chemical reactions is addressed, and a model to summarize these changes is also proposed.},

	abstract = {The wood rotting fungus, Phaeolus schweinitzii, efficiently transforms the antimony(III) compounds potassium antimony tartrate and antimony trioxide to nonvolatile dimethylantimony and trimethylantimony species, The organoantimony species were detected in potato dextrose broth media samples by using hydride generation-gas chromatography-atomic absorption spectroscopy (HG-GC-AAS). The average concentrations of trimethylantimony species after 40 days incubation with potassium antimony tartrate were approximately 35 mug, 155 mug and 520 mug Sb/l, for substrate concentrations of 10 mg, 100 mg and 1000 mg Sb/l respectively. Thus, the maximum yield of trimethylantimony species was approximately 0.4\%, When antimony trioxide (saturated solution, 4 mg Sb/l) was used as a substrate, the average concentration of trimethylantimony species was 150 mug Sb/l after 40 days. The HG-GC-AAS response for the dimethylantimony species was less than that for the trimethylantimony species; however, quantification was not possible because of the lack of an appropriate standard. In comparison, cultures of P, schweinitzii incubated with 1 mg As/I as sodium arsenite contained approximately 200 mug As/I as trimethylarsenic species, i.e. 20\% yield, Biomethylation of antimony(V) was inefficient: cultures contained only 3 mug Sb/l as trimethylantimony species after incubation with 100 mg Sb/l as potassium hexahydroxyantimonate, No organoantimony species were detected in control cultures that contained only medium and inorganic antimony compounds. The identities of the organoantimony species were confirmed by using CC-Mass Spectrometry, Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.},

These surfaces can differ markedly with regard to their chemical compositions and topographical structures. Characterizations of these surfaces after exposures to three organosilanes, gamma -GPS, BTSE and gamma -APS, indicate that the amount of silane adsorbed in each case shows a tendency to increase both with the number of OH groups detected at the oxidized aluminum and with the surface roughness. The XPS data are consistent with the adhesion of gamma -APS occurring through H bonding, especially via NH3+ groups.},

Two pre-treatments were considered, namely a simple mechanical polish, and polishing followed by an etch in a HF-H2SO4 solution. The latter treatment leads to significant Cu enrichment at the oxide-alloy interface, and this in turn can lead to a deleterious effect on the corrosion protection afforded by a subsequently applied chromate coating. Discussions are given of the behaviour of Cu in the coating formed on the sample that received an acid etch in the pre-treatment. This involves both migration through the coating and a non-uniform redeposition of Cu on to the coating surface. By contrast, the sample that initially was given just the mechanical polish in the pre-treatment does not show a Cu enrichment in the surface region, and the subsequently applied coating appeared stable after a 24 h immersion in a NaCl test solution.

Dimethylantimony and trimethylantimony species have been detected in the medium of these cultures, but the origin of these species was controversial. We now show that the dimethylantimony species is a true intermediate on the pathway to trimethylstibine (rather than arising from trimethylstibine oxidation or as an analytical artifact) because no dimethylantimony species are formed on trimethylstibine oxidation, as determined by using HG-GC-AAS. Furthermore, the dimethylantimony and trimethylantimony species can be separated, by using anion exchange chromatography, and so the dimethylantimony species is not an analytical artifact, formed during the hydride generation process. The antimony biomethylation mechanism was further probed by measuring incorporation of the methyl group, from (CD3)-C-13-L-methionine and CD3-D-methionine, into methylantimony species and, for comparison, into methylarsenic species. The percentage incorporation of the labeled methyl group into methylarsenic and methylantimony species was not significantly different. The incorporation from (CD3)-C-13-L-methionine was 54\% and 47\% for antimony and arsenic, respectively. The incorporation from CD3-D-methionine was 20\% and 16\% for antimony and arsenic, respectively. It appears that the biomethylation of arsenic and antimony occur by very similar, perhaps identical, mechanisms. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.},

The stacking sequence, designated as (C)B(A)AB, corresponds to the first three layers of anion-terminated cubic ZrO2, although some lateral compression is needed for superposition on the regular hcp Zr structure.

The objective was to investigate the most favourable growth conditions. The carbon layer formed a continuous film only for samples grown with a bias voltage of -40 V. Single layers of carbon and inconel were also studied as a function of substrate bias using grazing X-ray reflection (GXR) to investigate the effect of ion bombardment on the surface quality of the layers. The smoothest inconel single layers were obtained with a moderate substrate bias (-40 to -60 V) while the roughness of single carbon layers was not affected by the substrate bias. We conclude that the open structure observed in bilayers grown with substrate bias voltages other than -40 V is due to the rougher underlying inconel layer, which in turn {\textquoteright}roughens{\textquoteright} the thin carbon layer.},

In the half monolayer case, the LEED I(E) curves are consistent with the established c(2 x 2) surface alloy model. The MEIS data, however, suggest that a fraction of the Pd (similar to 1/4) is in {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}second layer{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} sites, in agreement with previous LEIS, TDS and XPS forward scattering measurements. The EAM simulations support the formation of alloy islands, providing a mechanism for the covering of some Pd atoms. As the deposition proceeds, however, this island formation is indicated to occur preferentially over clean copper. In the one monolayer case, a p(2 x 2)-p4g LEED pattern is observed. Analysis of the I(E) curves suggests that this arises from (100) Pd packed above the c(2 x 2) alloy. EAM calculations confirm the stability of this model. Evidence from MEIS and TDS, however, shows that the one monolayer surface as prepared in this work is inhomogeneous. c(2 x 2) and Cu rich surface domains exist in addition to those having the p4g Pd/c(2 x 2)PdCu structure.},

	abstract = {Modifications have been incorporated in the conventional microwave-assisted chemical vapour deposition process to deposit diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings on polycarbonate substrates. In the modified method, the substrates to be coated are placed outside the plasma chamber. An electric field is applied across the microwave discharge. The accelerated ionic species leave the nozzle and bombard the substrates placed in a separate chamber. Using the present technique, DLC films have been deposited on silicon and polycarbonate substrates. These films show chemical inertness and hardness values in the range 15-19.5 GPa.},

	abstract = {A total of 15 samples (crude extracts and pure secondary metabolites) obtained from marine invertebrates collected from the offshore waters of British Columbia, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka have previously been shown to exert cytotoxic activity in the in vitro L1210 leukemic bioassay. We screened these metabolites for in vitro cytotoxic activity against the drug-sensitive breast-tumor cell lines MCF-7, T-47D, ZR-75- 1, and MDA-MB23 1; the multidrug-resistant and P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-positive breast-tumor cell lines MCF-7 Ad(r) and MDA-Al(r); and normal and malignant human breast epithelial cells (HBEC) in primary culture. Eight samples exhibited significant [drug concentration resulting in a 50\% decrease in cell growth as compared with controls (ED50), <25-mu-g/ml] dose-dependent cytotoxicity against the drug-sensitive cell lines; the ED50 values were as low as 0.004-mu-g/ml. Five of the eight samples exhibited significant cytotoxicity against the multidrug-resistant cell lines; the ED50 values were as low as 0.0006-mu-g/ml. Incubation of MCF-7 Ad(r) cells with varying concentrations of compounds in the presence of Adriamycin demonstrated that none of the compounds tested interfered with Pgp function. Results obtained using HBEC in primary culture showed a wide range of chemosensitivities for a given drug against tissue taken from different patients, demonstrating the uniqueness of the response of different individuals to chemotherapy.},

The films were analysed using scanning electron microscopy, Auger spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The use of Lucite targets results in higher and more constant growth rates as well as the absence of "splashing", which is observed to introduce structural defects in the growing film when graphite is used as a target. Auger and Raman analyses show the presence of diamond-like phases in these films.},
