Ferroelectric liquid crystals [PDF]

Journal de Physique Lettres, 1975
A general symmetry argument is presented, and experiments on newly synthesized p-decyloxybenzylidene p'-amino 2-methyl butyl cinnamate are described, demonstrating that chiral smectic C and H liquid crystals are ferroelectric. Some of the properties of this new class of ferro-electrics are discussed.

SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.

Dielectric properties of ternary composites of triblock polymer surfactant, liquid crystal and organic solvent [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Dielectrics, 2014
Dielectric spectroscopy, at room temperature (20°C), is used to study the dielectric response of ternary mixtures of commercial nematic liquid crystal mixtures E7 and E33, an organic solvent N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) and a triblock polymers in the ...

Yang-Mills theory in Landau gauge as a liquid crystal

, 2005
Using a spin-charge separation of the gluon field in the Landau gauge we show that the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the low-temperature phase can be considered as a nematic liquid crystal. The ground state of the nematic crystal is characterized by the A^2

Exploring patients’ profiles associated with the resolution of acute calcium pyrophosphate arthritis treatedwith colchicine and prednisone: post hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective The objective was to identify factors determining acute arthritis resolution and safety with colchicine and prednisone in acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis. Methods We conducted a post hoc analysis of the COLCHICORT trial, which compared colchicine and prednisone for the treatment of acute CPP crystal arthritis, using a ...

The Immobilization of Hyaluronic Acid in 3D Hydrogel Scaffolds Modulates Macrophage Polarization

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
This study explores the use of collagen‐hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels for the 3D culture of macrophages, providing a useful tool for modelling macrophage behavior in tissues and diseases. It highlights how hydrogel composition, mechanical properties, and preparation methods influence macrophage behavior, revealing for the first time that HA's ...

Hydrogel‐Based Capacitive Sensor Model for Ammonium Monitoring in Aquaculture

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Traditional techniques for monitoring aquaculture water quality, particularly ammonium levels, harm fish. This work presents a novel capacitive sensor with an ionic hydrogel transducer to monitor ammonium concentration in real time based on the ammonium‐induced hydrogel dissociation and osmotic pressure. Monitoring aquaculture water quality, especially
