Gas Effusion Spectra of Fullerenes

Gas effusion spectra of fullerenes are studied. Three peaks of toluene are found in gas effusion spectra dp/dT-T. Two peaks of oxygen are found in gas effusion spectra dN/dt-T of samples kept in the air after annealing to avoid the toluene. These phenomena confirmed to be reversible are discussed by treating fullerenes as intercalated materials.     

Growth and led evaluation ofN-type conductive lec gaas co-doped with in and si

Dislocation-free and low dislocation densityn-type conductive GaAs crystals, 50 mm in diameter, were grown by the In and Si co-doping LEC technique. Two-dimensional LED arrays were fabricated on substrates obtained from these crystals by the MOCVD technique and the influence of the In doping on the LED characteristics was examined. The light output power of LEDs fabricated on co-doped substrate with an In concentration of 1 ×10²⁰atoms/cm³ are low and are non-uniformly distributed, as compared with the boat-grown substrate, even though the co-doped substrate is dislocation-free. However, the LED properties of a substrate with an In concentration of 2 × 10¹⁸atoms/cm³ are the same as those of a boat-grown substrate. The light output power of the LEDs becomes higher as the In concentration in the substrate decreased.     

Phase I and pharmacologic study of irinotecan in combination with cisplatin for advanced lung cancer

Macroscopic T-type Ca2+ currents, which are often observed in fetal and neonatal cardiac muscle cells, were not found in normal (0 of 17) adult feline ventricular myocytes. However, they were present in most (15 of 21) myocytes isolated from adult feline left ventricles with long-standing pressure-overload-induced hypertrophy. This is the first study to provide evidence in a large mammal, such as the cat, that T-type Ca2+ channels may be reexpressed in adults in association with hypertrophy resulting from slow progressive pressure overload. Importantly, this expression was stable for the duration of the hypertrophy process and was not associated with abrupt pressure overload. T-type Ca2+ currents were separated from L-type Ca2+ currents by exploiting the differences in their voltage dependence of steady-state inactivation. Depolarizations from -80 mV revealed a rapidly activating inward current that peaked in magnitude at -30 mV (-1.8 +/- 0.9 [mean +/- SD] pA/pF) and fully inactivated within 100 milliseconds in 15 of 21 hypertrophied myocytes studied. Further depolarizations activated progressively less T-type Ca2+ current, so that at +10 mV the L-type Ca2+ current predominated. In the hypertrophied myocytes that demonstrated both T-type and L-type Ca2+ currents, two distinct peaks occurred in their current-voltage relations. T-type Ca2+ currents were not evident in any of the 17 normal adult feline left ventricular myocytes studied. The purpose of T-type Ca2+ currents in hypertrophy is unclear. However, their presence may make hypertrophied myocardium more prone to spontaneous action potentials and increase the likelihood for arrhythmias in partially depolarized hypertrophied myocardium.     

Study on explosion characteristics of natural gas and methane in semi-open space for the HTTR hydrogen production system

It is important to grasp the explosion characteristics of object gases: natural gas and methane, in order to evaluate the influence of a gas explosion accident in the HTTR hydrogen production system on the reactor. Thus, we carried out explosion experiments of the object gases in semi-open space, and verified a numerical analysis code for the simulation of the explosion accident. It was confirmed that NG–air mixture or methane-air mixture in semi-open space did not result in DDT although 10 g of C-4 explosive was used as an ignition source, and the numerical results agreed relatively with the experimental results. As a result, we could have the prospects for predicting the influence of the explosion accident on the reactor.     

Fe content effects on electrochemical properties of Fe-substituted Li2MnO3 positive electrode material

Fe-substituted Li₂MnO₃ including a monoclinic layered rock-salt structure (C2/m), (Li_1+x(Fe_yMn_1−y)_1−xO₂, 0 < x < 1/3, 0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.5) was prepared by coprecipitation-hydrothermal-calcination method. The sample was assigned as two-phase composite structure consisting of the cubic rock-salt () and monoclinic ones at high Fe content above 30% (y ≥ 0.3), while the sample was assigned as a monoclinic phase (C2/m) at low Fe content less than 20%. In the monoclinic Li₂MnO₃-type structure, the Fe ion tends to substitute a Li (2b) site, which corresponds to a center position of Mn⁴⁺ hexagonal network in Mn-Li layer. The electrochemical properties including discharge characteristics under high current density (<3600 mA g⁻¹ at 30 °C) and low temperature (<−20 °C at 40 mA g⁻¹) were severely affected by chemical composition (Fe content and Li/(Fe + Mn) ratio), crystal structure (monoclinic phase content) and powder property (specific surface area). Under the optimized Fe content (0.2 < y < 0.4), the Li/sample cells showed high initial discharge capacity (240-300 mAh g⁻¹) and energy density (700-950 mWh g⁻¹) between 1.5 and 4.8 V under moderate current density, 40 mA g⁻¹ at 30 °C. Results suggest that Fe-substituted Li₂MnO₃ would be a non-excludable 3 V positive electrode material.     

Doubled layered ITO/SnO2 conducting glass for substrate of dye-sensitized solar cells

The effects of indium tin oxide (ITO) and ITO/SnO₂ conducting substrates on photovoltaic properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) using nanocrystalline TiO₂ were studied. The decrease in fill factor of the DSCs was correlated to the increase in resistance of conducting substrate. The heat stability of ITO conducting glass was improved by depositing SnO₂ on ITO layer. The efficiency of the cells using double layered ITO/SnO₂ substrate remarkably increased comparing with that of the cells using ITO substrates. It is worth mentioning that increasing in sintering time, which enhanced the electronic contact between substrate and TiO₂, also modified the cell performance of MP-TiO₂ cells. Our experimental finding suggests that 3000 Å ITO substrate, which was covered by 1000 Å SnO₂ layer, exhibited the best properties for the DSCs.
