Chemical kinetics of hydrogen atom abstraction from allylic sites by 3O2; Implications for combustion modelling and simulation
(American Chemical Society, 2017-02-14)ABSTRACT: Hydrogen atom abstraction from allylic C−H bonds by molecular oxygen plays a very important role in determining the reactivity of fuel molecules having allylic hydrogen atoms. Rate constants for hydrogen atom ... -
Chemical, electrochemical and photochemical catalytic oxidation of water to dioxygen with mononuclear ru complexes
(Wiley, 2011-01-27)Four new RuII[BOND]Cl and RuII[BOND]H2O complexes containing the meridional 2,2’:6’,2”-terpyridine (trpy) ligand and the chelating 2-(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (H3p) ligand of general formula in- and out-[RuII(tr ... -
Chemometric approaches to low-content quantification (LCQ) in solid-state mixtures using Raman mapping spectroscopy.
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-10-30)The low-content quantification (LCQ) of active pharmaceutical ingredients or impurities in solid mixtures is important in pharmaceutical manufacturing and analysis. We previously demonstrated the feasibility of using Raman ... -
Circular polarization of synchrotron radiation in high magnetic fields
(Oxford University Press, 2015-04-17)The general model for incoherent synchrotron radiation has long been known, with the first theory being published by Westfold in 1959 and continued by Westfold and Legg in 1968. When this model was first developed, it was ... -
Circularly-polarized plane waves in a deformed Hadamard material
(Elsevier, 2001-10-31)Small-amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves propagating in any direction in a homogeneously deformed Hadamard material are considered. Conditions for circular polarization are established. The analysis relies on the use of ... -
Classification of narcotics in solid mixtures using principal component analysis and Raman spectroscopy
(ASTM International, 2002-03-01)Eighty-five solid samples consisting of illegal narcotics diluted with several different materials were analyzed by near-infrared (785 nm excitation) Raman spectroscopy. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed to ... -
CO abundances in a protostellar cloud: freeze-out and desorption in the envelope and outflow of L483
(2007)CO isotopes are able to probe the different components in protostellar clouds. These components, core, envelope and outflow have distinct physical conditions and sometimes more than one component contributes to the observed ... -
CO and H2O time-histories in shock-heated blends of methane and ethane for assessment of a chemical kinetics model
(ASME The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017-09-13)Methane and ethane are the two main components of natural gas and typically constitute more than 95% of it. In this study, a mixture of 90% CH4/10% C2H6 diluted in 99% Ar was studied at fuel lean (equiv. ratio = 0.5) ... -
(Co)homologies et K-théorie de groupes de Bianchi par des modèles géométriques calculatoires
(Université de Grenoble / Universität Göttingen, 2010-10-15)Cette thèse consiste d'une étude de la géométrie d'une certaine classe de groupes arithmétiques, à travers d'une action propre sur un espace contractile. Nous calculons explicitement leur homologie de groupe, et leur ... -
CO2-responsive polyacrylamide copolymer vesicles with acid-sensitive morpholine moieties and large hydrophobic RAFT end-group
(Elsevier, 2017-10-07)Sequential Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerizations using 2,2′-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]dihydrochloride (VA-044) and 2-(dodecylthiocarbonothioylthio)-2-methylpropionic acid ... -
Cocrystal forms of the BCS class IV drug sulfamethoxazole
(American Chemical Society, 2018-05-23)Sulfamethoxazole, smz, is an antibiotic that is classified as a Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class IV, low solubility and low permeability drug. Cocrystal formation has been examined in an attempt to improve ... -
Cognitive analysis of schizophrenia risk genes that function as epigenetic regulators of gene expression
(Wiley, 2016-10-20)Epigenetic mechanisms are an important heritable and dynamic means of regulating various genomic functions, including gene expression, to orchestrate brain development, adult neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. These ... -
Cohomology of Coxeter arrangements and Solomon's descent algebra
(American Mathematical Society, 2014-06-19)We refine a conjecture by Lehrer and Solomon on the structure of the Orlik-Solomon algebra of a finite Coxeter group W and relate it to the descent algebra of W. As a result, we claim that both the group algebra of W and ... -
Coiled coil type neoglycoproteins presenting three lactose residues
(Elsevier, 2016-02-06)Scaffold design, synthesis and application are relevant for biomedical research. For example, multivalent interactions, such as those between cell surface glycoproteins and lectins can influence the potency and duration ... -
Cold adaptation and replicable microbial community development during long-term low-temperature anaerobic digestion treatment of synthetic sewage
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05-25)The development and activity of a cold-adapting microbial community was monitored during low-temperature anaerobic digestion (LtAD) treatment of wastewater. Two replicate hybrid anaerobic sludge bed-fixed-film reactors ... -
A combined experimental and numerical study of stab-penetration forces
(Elsevier, 2013-12)The magnitude of force used in a stabbing incident can be difficult to quantify, although the estimate given by forensic pathologists is often seen as 'critical' evidence in medico-legal situations. The main objective of ... -
Combining glycocluster synthesis with protein engineering: an approach to probe into the significance of linker length in a tandem-repeat-type lectin (galectin-4)
(Elsevier, 2014-05-07)Complementarity in lectin-glycan interactions in situ is assumed to involve spatial features in both the lectin and the glycan, giving a functional meaning to structural aspects of the lectin beyond its carbohydrate-binding ... -
