Technically important nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloys and their derivatives always include metal elements such as Nb, Zr, Mo, etc. and/or Cu to realize the nanostructure, which results in a remarkable decrease of saturation flux density (Bs) significant increase material cost. With aim solve serious problem, we successfully developed new FeSiBPCu alloys. The melt-spun Fe83.3–84.3Si4B8P3–4Cu0.7 (at%) have heterogeneous amorphous structures including large amount α-Fe clusters, 2–3 nm...
Intracellular signal transduction relies on spatial and temporal transmitter dynamics. To clarify the correlations of these molecules, multicolor-imaging has been widely used. However, in case applying multiple indicators a cell, spectral overlap prevents accurate quantitative analysis. Moreover, invasive (toxic) effect, localization, metabolism, as well photobleaching complicate situation. Here, we show that single-molecular multifluorescent probes can overcome problems. While intracellular...
The melt-spun Fe83.3–84.3Si4B8P3–4Cu0.7 alloys have a heterogeneous amorphous structure including large amount of α-Fe-like clusters. Compared with the FeSiB alloys, particle size rapidly decreases from several hundred nanometers to 2–3nm due proper amounts simultaneous P and Cu additions. By controlling crystallization process, homogeneous nanocrystalline composed by small α-Fe grains 10–17nm in diameter can be realized alloys. nanocrystallized show extremely high saturation magnetic flux...
Abstract Modification of Rh/C with Re species enabled chemoselective hydrogenolysis tetrahydropyran‐2‐methanol to 1,6‐hexanediol. In particular, the Rh–ReO x /C (Re/Rh ratio=0.25) catalyst gave a high yield 1,6‐hexanediol (84 %) and showed very low activity for overhydrogenolysis 1‐hexanol. Using same in tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol also 1,5‐pentanediol (94 %). Characterization results indicate formation ReO clusters attached on surface Rh metal particles. This can cause synergy between Rh,...
Recently, the energy crisis and continued growth in electrical power generation strongly demand minimization of wasteful dissipation. Magnetic core loss (W) is main source dissipation motors transformers. This requires development soft magnetic materials with low coercivity (Hc) high flux density (B). Fe-rich Fe85-86Si1-2B8P4Cu1 (at. %) alloy ribbons made from industrial raw (containing some impurities) 6 mm width have a heteroamorphous structure containing large number extremely small Fe...

Ultrasound-triggered drug delivery has been widely researched for its potential to improve the therapeutic efficacy of drugs. This paper presents release using hydrogel microbeads with enhancer efficient ultrasound-triggered delivery. By a centrifuge-based microfluidic device, drug-model-encapsulating calcium alginate containing tungsten particles high acoustic impedance were fabricated. Because work as enhancer, become have sensitivity ultrasound localized variation in so that rate models...
The role of intracellular magnesium ions is high interest in the fields pharmacology and cellular biology. To accomplish dynamic three-dimensional imaging Mg2+, there a strong desire for development optimized Mg2+ fluorescent probes. In this paper we describe design, synthesis, application three novel probes KMG-101, -103, -104. compounds series feature charged beta-diketone as binding site specific fluorescein residue fluorophore that can be excited with an Ar+ laser such widely used...
Abstract (−)-DHMEQ, a newly designed NF-κB inhibitor, inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in mouse BMMs through downregulation of the induction NFATc1, an essential transcription factor osteoclastogenesis. Introduction: Bone destruction is often observed advanced case rheumatoid arthritis and neoplastic diseases, including multiple myeloma. Effective nontoxic chemotherapeutic agents are expected for suppression these bone destructions. RANKL induces activation...
Among many kinds of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), Fe-based BMGs with good magnetic properties, high strength and low materials cost should have great potential for wide variety applications. However, the glass-forming metal elements such as Al, Ga, Nb, Mo, Y so forth in significantly decrease saturation magnetization (Js) which is a essential property soft also increase material cost.The coexistence Fe content ability (GFA) has been earnestly desired from academia to industry. We report...
