Encapsulation of Magnetic Nanoparticles with Biopolymer for Biomedical Application
Abstract—Magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by
coprecipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ with NH4OH using Spinning Disc Processing (SDP). Chitosan was then coated on the surface of magnetite nanoparticles using SDP. FTIR study and zeta potential measurement confirmed the absorption of chitosan unto the surface of magnetite nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) image showed that the particle sizes are in the range 10 – 200 nm
Magnetite ferrofluids stabilized by sulfonato-calixarenes
Magnetite (Fe304) nanoparticles stabilised by sulfonatocalixarene macrocycles are readily accessible by a rapid in situ co-precipitation, and exhibit ferro-fluidic and superparamagnetic behaviour

Regional unit definition for the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on the SHAP7 model
The previously defined regions on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko have been mapped back onto the 3D SHAP7 model of the nucleus (Preusker et al., 2017). The resulting regional definition is therefore self-consistent with boundaries that are well defined in 3 dimensions. The facets belonging to each region are provided as supplementary material. The shape model has then been used to assess inhomogeneity of nucleus surface morphology within individual regions. Several regions show diverse morphology. We propose sub-division of these regions into clearly identifiable units (sub-regions) and a comprehensive table is provided. The surface areas of each sub-region have been computed and statistics based on grouping of unit types are provided. The roughness of each region is also provided in a quantitative manner using a technique derived from computer graphics applications. The quantitative method supports the sub-region definition by showing that differences between sub-regions can be numerically justified
Determination of the Form Factors for the Decay B0 --> D*-l+nu_l and of the CKM Matrix Element |Vcb|
We present a combined measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element and of the parameters , , and , which fully characterize the form factors of the decay in the framework of HQET, based on a sample of about 52,800 decays recorded by the BABAR detector. The kinematical information of the fully reconstructed decay is used to extract the following values for the parameters (where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic): , , , . By combining these measurements with the previous BABAR measurements of the form factors which employs a different technique on a partial sample of the data, we improve the statistical accuracy of the measurement, obtaining: and Using the lattice calculations for the axial form factor , we extract , where the third error is due to the uncertainty in
Study of the Exclusive Initial-State Radiation Production of the System
A study of exclusive production of the system through initial-state r adiation is performed in a search for charmonium states, where or . The mesons are reconstructed in the , , and decay modes. The is reconstructed through the decay mode. The analysis makes use of an integrated luminosity of 288.5 fb collected by the BaBar experiment. The mass spectrum shows a clear signal. Further structures appear in the 3.9 and 4.1 GeV/ regions. No evidence is found for Y(4260) decays to , implying an up per limit \frac{\BR(Y(4260)\to D \bar D)}{\BR(Y(4260)\to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-)} < 7.6 (95 % confidence level)
