Ground-state cooling of a nanomechanical oscillator with N spins
(AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2018)It is typical of modern quantum technologies employing nanomechanical oscillators to demand few mechanical quantum excitations, for instance, to prolong coherence times of a particular task or to engineer a specific ... -
Optical qubit generation via atomic postselection in a Ramsey interferometer
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2018)We propose a realizable experimental scheme to prepare a superposition of the vacuum and one-photon states using a typical cavity QED-setup. This is different from previous schemes, where the superposition state of the ... -
One-step coelectrodeposition-assisted layer-by-layer assembly of gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide and its self-healing three-dimensional nanohybrid for an ultrasensitive DNA sensor
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2018-01-21)A layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly was employed for preparing multilayer thin films with a controlled architecture and composition. In this study, we report the one-step coelectrodeposition-assisted LBL assembly of both gold ... -
Experimental and Computational Characterization of the Interaction between Gold Nanoparticles and Polyamidoamine Dendrimers
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018)Dendrimers provide a means to control the synthesis of gold nanoparticles and stabilize their suspensions. However, design of improved dendrimers for this application is hindered by a lack of understanding how the dendrimers ... -
Mechanical Properties Obtained by Indentation of Hollow Pd Nanoparticles
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018)Palladium nanoparticles are technologically important for catalysis, hydrogen storage, and many other applications. Here, we investigate the mechanical properties of Pd hollow nanoparticles of different sizes and thicknesses ... -
Using Femtosecond Laser Irradiation To Grow the Belly of Gold Nanorods
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018)Irradiation of gold nanorods can lead to the formation of several new nanostructures. One of the most interesting among them are phi-shaped rods, a stable intermediate shape in the rod-to-sphere conversion process, but not ... -
Correction: One-step coelectrodeposition-assisted layer-by-layer assembly of gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide and its self-healing three-dimensional nanohybrid for an ultrasensitive DNA sensor
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2018-02-07)Correction for ‘One-step coelectrodeposition-assisted layer-by-layer assembly of gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide and its self-healing three-dimensional nanohybrid for an ultrasensitive DNA sensor’ by Jayakumar ... -
Polyaniline Based Materials as a Method to Eliminate Haloanisoles in Spirits Beverages
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018)In this research, the abilities of two polyaniline-based materials (PANI-EB and PANI-ES) were evaluated as potential fining agents to eliminate 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) and 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA). The results ... -
Phenology determines the robustness of plant-pollinator networks
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)Plant-pollinator systems are essential for ecosystem functioning, which calls for an understanding of the determinants of their robustness to environmental threats. Previous studies considering such robustness have focused ... -
MicroRNA Profiling and Bioinformatics Target Analysis in Dorsal Hippocampus of Chronically Stressed Rats: Relevance to Depression Pathophysiology
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018)Studies conducted in rodents subjected to chronic stress and some observations in humans after psychosocial stress, have allowed to establish a link between stress and the susceptibility to many complex diseases, including ... -
Effect of yeast (Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous) and plant (Saint John's wort, lemon balm, and rosemary) extract based functional diets on antioxidant and immune status of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) subjected to crowding stress
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)Salmon farming may face stress due to the intensive culture conditions with negative impacts on overall performance. In this aspect, functional feed improves not only the basic nutritional requirements but also the health ... -
Transcriptional profiling of embryos lacking the lipoprotein receptor SR-B1 reveals a regulatory circuit governing a neurodevelopmental or metabolic decision during neural tube closure
(BMC, 2018)Background: The high-density lipoprotein receptor SR-B1 mediates cellular uptake of several lipid species, including cholesterol and vitamin E. During early mouse development, SR-B1 is located in the maternal-fetal interface, ... -
RIP-MD: a tool to study residue interaction networks in protein molecular dynamics
(PEERJ INC, 2018)Protein structure is not static; residues undergo conformational rearrangements and, in doing so, create, stabilize or break non-covalent interactions. Molecular dynamics (MD) is a technique used to simulate these movements ... -
SMZ/SNZ and gibberellin signaling are required for nitrate-elicited delay of flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018)The reproductive success of plants largely depends on the correct programming of developmental phase transitions, particularly the shift from vegetative to reproductive growth. The timing of this transition is finely ... -
Tuning the structure and magnetic behavior of Ni-Ir-based nanoparticles in ionic liquids
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2018)We report on a simple preparation of extremely small diameter (ca. 2 nm) Ni-Ir-based NPs using Ni(COD)(2) and [Ir(COD)OCH3](2) in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BMImNTf(2)). The prepared NPs ... -
Toward Controlled Morphology of FeCu Nanoparticles: Cu Concentration and Size Effects
