Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We have studied the effect of using rare-earth elements C (typically +4 oxide state) and Eu (typically +2 oxide state) together with nanometer Ni as catalysts to synthesize SWNT in high yield by arc evaporation. A black collar deposit containing mainly SWNT was formed in the presence of Ce/Ni while only nanometer carbon particles were formed using Eu/Ni, as identified by SEM, TEM and Raman spectra. The Raman spectra of our SWNT mats show difference from spectra shown in the literature in a low frequency range, indicating that our mats contain chiral tubes. The temperature dependent resistance of SWNT mats was also measured. A semiconducting behaviour was observed with a negative dR/dT and no resistance minimum from 2 to 350 K. The resistance follows a 2D variable range hopping behaviour.

Effects of fucosylated milk of goat and mouse on Helicobacter pylori binding to Lewis b antigen
- 2004

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Aim:To evaluate the effects of animal milk containing fucosylated antigens on Helicobacter pylori (H pylon) binding to Lewis b antigen. Methods:A mammary gland expression vector containing human α1-3/4-fucosyltransferase cDNA sequences was constructed. Transient expression of human(α1-3/4-fucosyltransferase cDNA in goat mammary cell and establishment of transgenic mice were performed. The adhesion inhibitory properties of milk samples were analyzed by using Hpylori. Results: Goat milk samples were found to inhibit bacterial binding to Lewis b antigen. The highest inhibition was observed 42 h after injection of the plasmid. The binding activity of Hpylori to Lewis b antigen reduced mostly, by 83%, however milk samples from transgenic mice did not inhibit Hpylori binding to Lewis b antigen. Conclusion: The use of “humanized“ animal milk produced by the transgenic introduction of fucosylated antigen can perhaps provide an alternative therapy and preventive measure for Hpylori infection.

PHENIX detector overview

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The PHENIX detector is designed to perform a broad study of A-A, p-A, and p-p collisions to investigate nuclear matter under extreme conditions. A wide variety of probes, sensitive to all timescales, are used to study systematic variations with species and energy as well as to measure the spin structure of the nucleon. Designing for the needs of the heavy-ion and polarized-proton programs has produced a detector with unparalleled capabilities. PHENIX measures electron and muon pairs, photons, and hadrons with excellent energy and momentum resolution. The detector consists of a large number of subsystems that are discussed in other papers in this volume. The overall design parameters of the detector are presented. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- SWNTs were synthesized in high yield in the presence of Ce/Ni as catalyst. Raman and SEM results show that a fraction of the tubes are chiral and have small diameters (the smallest one is 0.79 nm), indicating that Ce plays an important role in the formation. Acid treatment is effective in eliminating impurities but changes the morphology and the electric resistance of mats with increasing treatment time. The resistance of as-grown and short time acid-treated mats follow a 2D VRH behaviour while mats treated for a long time follow a 3D model. The results indicate that hopping conduction occurs on bundles or on tubes and that there are intrinsic links between tubes in as-grown mats.

Self-excited piezoelectric microcantilever for gas detection
- 2003
-
In: Microelectronic Engineering. - 0167-9317 .- 1873-5568. ; 69:1, s. 37-46
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Design, fabrication and results from theoretical and experimental studies on the self-excited piezoelectric microcantilever are presented in this paper. Theoretical studies have been carried out to design the microcantilever and have been extended to harmonic analysis using the finite element technique. Silicon microfabrication has been successfully completed to create microcantilever devices. Experimental studies have been performed to obtain the resonance frequencies. Applied as a mass-sensitive sensor, the microcantilever has a sensitivity of - 0.0024%/ppm and a minimum mass loading of 3.5 x 10(-9) g with the help of a zeolite sensitive layer to freon.

Bose-Einstein correlations of charged pion pairs in Au+Au collisions at root(NN)-N-s = 200 GeV
- 2004

In: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114. ; 93:15
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Bose-Einstein correlations of identically charged pion pairs were measured by the PHENIX experiment at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at roots(NN)=200 GeV. The Bertsch-Pratt radius parameters were determined as a function of the transverse momentum of the pair and as a function of the centrality of the collision. Using the standard core-halo partial Coulomb fits, and a new parametrization which constrains the Coulomb fraction as determined from the unlike-sign pion correlation, the ratio R-out/R-side is within 0.8-1.1 for 0.25<<1.2 GeV/c. The centrality dependence of all radii is well described by a linear scaling in N-part(1/3), and R-out/R-side for similar to0.45 GeV/c is approximately constant at unity as a function of centrality.

Elliptic flow of identified hadrons in Au+Au collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The anisotropy parameter (v(2)), the second harmonic of the azimuthal particle distribution, has been measured with the PHENIX detector in Au+Au collisions at roots(NN)=200 GeV for identified and inclusive charged particle production at central rapidities (eta<0.35) with respect to the reaction plane defined at high rapidities (eta=3-4 ). We observe that the v(2) of mesons falls below that of (anti)baryons for p(T)>2 GeV/c, in marked contrast to the predictions of a hydrodynamical model. A quark-coalescence model is also investigated.

-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114. ; 92:5
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- J/psi production has been measured in proton-proton collisions at roots=200 GeV over a wide rapidity and transverse momentum range by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Distributions of the rapidity and transverse momentum, along with measurements of the mean transverse momentum and total production cross section are presented and compared to available theoretical calculations. The total J/psi cross section is 4.0+/-0.6(stat)+/-0.6(syst)+/-0.4(abs) mub. The mean transverse momentum is 1.80+/-0.23(stat)+/-0.16(syst) GeV/c.
