Open AccessFate of the cap** agent of biologically produced gold nanoparticles and adsorption of enzymes onto their surface
Enzymotherapy based on DNase I or RNase A has often been suggested as an optional strategy for cancer treatment. The efficacy of such procedures is limited e.g. by a short half-time of the enzymes or a low rat...

Structural changes of an austenitic stainless steel induced by rf plasma nitriding
RF plasma nitriding at 400 °C for 24 h was used to modify structural properties of the X5CrNi189 austenitic stainless steel. The results of the surface and bulk phase composition studied by Mössbauer spectrosc...

Experimental results on the influence of thermal stresses on the stability of a crack
The case of the stability of a crack under uniform tension and thermal stresses is studied. The thermal stresses are caused by the uniform heat flow disturbed by the insulated crack. The elastic stress distrib...
