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 ...
An experimental and kinetic modeling study of n-hexane oxidation
(Elsevier, 2015-09-11)
Ignition delay times for n-hexane oxidation have been measured in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at stoichiometric conditions and at 15 bar. Due to the high reactivity of n-hexane and non-ideal experimental effects ...
A rapid culture independent methodology to quantitatively detect and identify common human bacterial pathogens associated with contaminated high purity water
(BioMed Central, 2015-02-18)
Water and High Purity Water (HPW) distribution systems can be contaminated with human
pathogenic microorganisms. This biocontamination may pose a risk to human health as HPW is commonly used in
the industrial, pharmaceutical ...
Revisiting the kinetics and thermodynamics of the low-temperature oxidation pathways of alkanes: a case study of the three pentane isomers
(American Chemical Society, 2015-03-23)
This paper describes our developing understanding of low-temperature oxidation kinetics. We have investigated the ignition of the three pentane isomers in a rapid compression machine over a wide range of temperatures and ...
Comparison of established diagnostic methodologies and a novel bacterial smpB real-time PCR assay for the specific detection of haemophilus influenzae associated with respiratory tract infections
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-06-23)
Haemophilus influenzae is a significant causative agent of respiratory tract infections (RTI) worldwide. The development of a
rapid H. influenzae diagnostic assay that would allow for the implementation of infection control ...
A detailed chemical kinetic modeling, ignition delay time and jet-stirred reactor study of methanol oxidation
(Elsevier, 2016-01-29)
A shock tube (ST) and a rapid compression machine (RCM) have been used to measure new ignition delay times for methanol oxidation over a wide range of pressures (2-50 atm) and equivalence ratios (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0). These ...
Variability of candidate genes, genetic structure and association with sugar accumulation and climacteric behavior in a broad germplasm collection of melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BioMed Central, 2015-03-19)
Background: A collection of 175 melon (Cucumis melo L.) accessions (including wild relatives, feral types, landraces, breeding lines and commercial cultivars) from 50 countries was selected to study the phenotypic variability ...
Stress management at the ER: regulators of ER stress-induced apoptosis.
(Elsevier, 2012-02-17)
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an elaborate cellular organelle essential for cell function and survival. Conditions that interfere with ER function lead to the accumulation and aggregation of unfolded proteins which are ...
Wrinkles and creases in the bending, unbending and eversion of soft sectors
(The Royal Society, 2018-03-23)
We study what is clearly one of the most common modes of deformation found in nature, science and engineering, namely the large elastic bending of curved structures, as well as its inverse, unbending, which can be brought ...
Phase behaviour of self-assembled monolayers controlled by tuning physisorbed and chemisorbed states: A lattice-model view
(American Institute of Physics, 2016-04-07)
The self-assembly of molecules on surfaces into 2D structures is important for the bottom-up fabrication of functional nanomaterials, and the self-assembledstructure depends on the interplay between molecule-molecule ...
