Linear adsorption of nonionic organic compounds from water onto hydrophilic minerals: silica and alumina
Cary T. Chiou

Soil/solid organic-matter (SOM) content dictates the extent and mode of uptake of organic compounds by geologic materials. Normally, if natural solids contain more than 0.1-0.2 % of SOM and little charcoal-like substance or soot, ...

NMR investigation of the skutterudite compound CoSb3
Chin Shan Lue

Transport and optical measurements are common techniques for the study of semiconducting materials. For a narrow gap semiconductor such as the present case of CoSb3, these macroscopic measurements usually fail to yield reliable results if impurity phases and/or defects appear in the sample. ...

Screen Effects on Field Emission from an Array of One-dimensional Nanostructures Grown on Silicon Substrates
Yung-Chiang Lan

Field-emission devices combining the advantages of vacuum tubes and solid-state fabrication techniques are very attractive for their potential applications as flat panel displays. The discovery of carbon nanotube (CNT) has drawn a lot of attention due to their unique physical properties and various potential applications. ...

The therapeutic agent sesamol in treating sepsis
Ming-Yie Liu

Sepsis is characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to bacterial infection, especially Gram-negative bacteria. Sepsis is part of a spectrum of conditions ranging from the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) to septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). ...

ZnO Nanowire Array/Nanoparticle Composite Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
Jih-Jen Wu

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the most promising low-cost and high-efficiency solar cells. The DSSC is composed of a dye-sensitized and high-surface-area TiO2 nanoparticle (NP) electrode (with a typical thickness of ~10 μm) on a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) and a platinized counter electrode sandwiched together with ...
