Superconductivity and transformation of near-equiatomic M-Ru (M = V, Nb and Ta) alloys

DHICA Oxidase Activity of TRP1 and Interactions With Other Melanogenic Enzymes

“…TRPl and TRP2, as well as tyrosinase and perhaps other melanogenic proteins, are localized within melanosomes, the organelles in which melanin biosynthesis usually takes place, at least in mammalian melanocytes (Orlow et al, 1993a, in press). Recent evidence has shown that there are a number of enzymes and other factors that participate in the cascade of reactions involved in melanin synthesis, and an earlier study from our laboratory suggested that TRPl serves an important function in stabilizing the melanogenic function of tyrosinase (Tsukamoto et al, 1992b). The correct processing, delivery, and stabilization of tyrosinase can be critical to melanogenic function (Orlow et al, 1993b).…”

Investigation of the Superlattice Phases Formed in Ta72Ru28

“…For the purposes of this study, what is interesting to note is that the phase in the Ta-rich, high temperature region of this partial phase diagram is simply labelled as ‘cubic’. The ‘cubic’ phase is based on a BCC structure, and typically labelled as B2 in the studies that have looked at it [ 8 , 9 ]. (100) type reflections can be seen in the XRD trace in ref [ 8 ], indicating a B2 structure is present.…”

“…The minimum Ru content in which the tetragonal phase can form appears to be around 40 at% Ru. Some tetragonal phase was found in a 40 at% Ru in one study [ 8 ], but not in another [ 9 ]. This may be attributable to differences in cooling rates of the alloys.…”
