“30 keV Kr+ ions were irradiated onto L1(2) ordered CrPt3 (20 nm) alloy films fabricated by a magnetron sputtering Cediranib deposition followed by an appropriate heat treatment, and the modification of the structure and magnetic properties of the CrPt3 films was investigated in detail. The fabricated L1(2) CrPt3 (20 nm) onto a fused quartz substrate exhibited a quite large perpendicular anisotropy of 5×10(6)

ergs/cc, due to the large lattice distortion of 1%. The large perpendicular anisotropy decreased with increasing the ion dose, and became almost zero at the ion dose of 2×10(14) ions/cm(2) due to the loss of the magnetic order of CrPt3. The suppression of the magnetic order of CrPt3 by the Kr+ ion irradiation is attributed to the transformation

of the structure from the L1(2) phase to a disordered fcc phase, which was confirmed by x-ray diffraction analysis. Unlike the magnetization and perpendicular anisotropy, the anisotropy field of CrPt3 does not decrease significantly with the increase in the Kr+ ion dose, and exhibited more than 20 kOe even at the ion dose Cyclosporin A Immunology & Inflammation inhibitor of 1×10(14) ions/cm(2). This is considered to be attributed that the lattice distortion of CrPt3 unchanged even at the Kr+ ion dose of 2×10(14) ions/cm(2).”
“The present study evaluates antioxidant, tyrosinase inhibitory, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of seed and its pericarp of tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.). Water and methanol extracts of tea

seed and pericarp were prepared in a shaking incubator overnight at room temperature. The highest total phenolic contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, reducing power, beta-carotene bleaching inhibition activity, highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity, and AChE inhibitiory activity were 5-Fluoracil inhibitor found in the methanol extracts of pericarp. Caffeine, gallic acid, several phenolic compounds, hydroxymethyl furfural, and fatty acid derived compounds were detected in the extract of tea seed and pericarp. The results indicate that seed and pericarp could be utilized as the potential resources for antioxidant ingredients in food industry. In addition, these compounds may protect Alzheimer’s disease as they had inhibitory activity of acetylcholine esterase.”
“A plastisol is a dispersion (suspension) of fine particles of poly(vinyl chloride) with a plasticizer that is normally applied over a substrate, by spreading or coating, before the gelification and fusion into the final product. Because of the first step, the plastisol rheology study is a very important factor which has to be taken into consideration to determine and fine tune the process conditions.
