A comparative study of O2 adsorbed carbon nanotubes
(2003)First-principles, density functional calculations show that O2 adsorbed single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) show dramatic differences depending on the type of the tube. Upon O2 physisorption, the zig-zag SWNT remains ... -
Double perovskite structure induced by Co addition to PbTiO3: Insights from DFT and experimental solid-state NMR spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2019)The effects of Co addition on the chemical and electronic structure of PbTiO3 were explored both by theory and through experiment. Cobalt was incorporated into PbTiO3 during the sol–gel process with the X-ray diffraction ... -
Effect of six weeks aerobic training upon blood trace metals levels
(2006)This study was carried out to investigate the effects of 6-week aerobic exercise program upon blood Zn and Cu levels. There were 12 male university students with an average age of 21.67+/-0.89 years and no regular training ... -
Full‐brain coverage and high‐resolution imaging capabilities of passband b‐SSFP fMRI at 3T
(Wiley‐Liss, Inc., 2008)Passband balanced-steady-state free precession (b-SSFP)fMRI is a recently developed method that utilizes the passband(flat portion) of the b-SSFP off-resonance response to measureMR signal changes elicited by changes in ... -
Gold catalysts supported on ceria doped by rare earth metals for water gas shift reaction: influence of the preparation method
(2009)Gold catalysts based on ceria, doped by various RE metals (La, Sm, Gd, Yb, Y) were studied. The influence of the preparation methods on structure, properties and catalytic activity in the WGS reaction was investigated. The ... -
