pH-triggered phase inversion and separation of hydrophobised bacterial cellulose stabilised Pickering emulsions [PDF]
The pH-triggered transitional phase behaviour of Pickering emulsions stabilised by hydrophobised bacterial cellulose (BC) is reported in this work. Neat BC was esterified with acetic (C2–), hexanoic (C6–) and dodecanoic (C12–) acids, respectively.

High Resolution X-Ray Imaging of the Center of IC342 [PDF]
We presented the result of a high resolution (FWHM~0.5'') 12 ks Chandra HRC-I observation of the starburst galaxy IC342 taken on 2 April 2006. We identified 23 X-ray sources within the central 30' x 30' region of IC342. Our HRC-I observation resolved the

Hybridization-Driven Orthorhombic Lattice Instability in URu2Si2 [PDF]
We have measured the elastic constant (C11-C12)/2 in URu2Si2 by means of high-frequency ultrasonic measurements in pulsed magnetic fields H || [001] up to 61.8 T in a wide temperature range from 1.5 to 116 K.

Convective proton and He3 ingestion into helium burning: Nucleosynthesis during a post-AGB thermal pulse [PDF]
A thermal pulse during the post-AGB phase of stellar evolution may lead to a unique mode of light element nucleosynthesis. The stage is set by the ingestion of the unprocessed envelope material into the hot He-flash convection zone below.

Surface alignment, anchoring transitions, optical properties, and topological defects in the thermotropic nematic phase of organo-siloxane tetrapodes [PDF]
We address the status of oxadiazole mesogens, C7 and C12, reported to show the biaxial nematic phase, by exploring material aspects (chemical stability, surface anchoring, optical and dielectric properties, topological defects) linked to the type of ...

Fat area and lipid droplet morphology of porcine oocytes during in vitro maturation with trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid and forskolin [PDF]
Lipid droplets (LD) in porcine oocytes form a dark mass reaching almost all cytoplasm. Herein we investigated changes in fat areas, cytoplasmic tone and LD morphology during in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine oocytes cultured with 100mM trans-10, cis ...

Synthesis of Hydrophobically and Electrostatically Modified Polyacrylamides and Their Catalytic Effects on the Unimolecular Decarboxylation of 6-Nitrobenzisoxazole-3-carboxylate Anion [PDF]
A series of hydrophobically and electrostatically modified polyacrylamides (Copol(AM-C12)) has been synthesized by radical-initiated copolymerization of acrylamide with n-dodecylmethyldiallylammonium bromide as the hydrophobe in aqueous solution using ...

Photopion reactions on deltas preexisting in nuclei [PDF]
Reactions A(\gamma, pi^+p) are considered to proceed through the formation of pion-proton pairs on delta constituents in nuclei. We develop the nonrelativistic operator for \Delta^{++}(\gamma, pi^+)p process in an arbitrary frame.
