We show that oxidation of protective thiol ligands and the exothermic reduction of surface area are important factors in the sintering of thiol-stabilized gold nanoparticle films. We also present a chemical treatment to ...

A sensitive method for the determination of oxycodone concentrations in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)–electrospray ionization–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry is described. The method is ...

This paper reports the first analysis of small molecules on the Agilent bio-analyser. The Bioanalyzer is a commercial lab-on-a-chip instrument designed for the analysis of DNA and proteins. We demonstrate that the instrument ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common cause of chronic and recurrent lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) whose sputa contain copious quantities of P. aeruginosa toxin, pyocyanin. Pyocyanin triggers ...

Over the last years, there has been an explosion in the number of developments and applications of CE and microchip-CE. In part, this growth has been the direct consequence of recent developments in instrumentation associated ...

The results of the recovery of both aldehyde and ketone carbonyl functionalities from the oxime derivatives in aromatic carbonyl compounds using tetrapyridine silver(II) peroxydisulfate [Ag(py)4S2O8] as a stable, mild, and ...

Proton nuclear magnetic spin-spin relaxation time distributions (Tz distributions) for a water-saturated cylinder of sandstone (radius 6.5 cm and length 17.55 em) have been studied as a function of drying time. By ...

Reversible addition¿fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of styrene has been implemented in aqueous miniemulsion based on the in situ surfactant generation approach using oleic acid and potassium hydroxide ...
