Detailed kinetic modeling of dimethoxymethane. Part I: Ab initio thermochemistry and kinetics predictions for key reactions
(Elsevier, 2017-09-06)
Despite the great interest in oxygenated methyl ethers as diesel fuel additives and as fuels themselves, the influence of their methylenedioxy group(s) (0-CH2-0) has never been quantified using ab initio methods. In this ...
Pyrolysis of n-pentane, n-hexane and n-heptane in a single pulse shock tube
(Elsevier, 2017-08-16)
The pyrolysis of n-pentane, n-hexane and n-heptane have been studied behind reflected shock waves at pressures of 1.0-2.5 atm and at temperatures of 1000-1500 K. A single-pulse shock tube (SPST) was used to measure reactant, ...
Design of experiments approach to provide enhanced glucose-oxidising enzyme electrode for membrane-less enzymatic fuel cells operating in human physiological fluids
(Wiley, 2018-03-30)
Graphite electrodes are modified with a redox polymer, [Os(4,4-dimethoxy-2,2-bipyridine)(2)(polyvinylimidazole)(10)Cl](+) (E degrees=-0.02V vs Ag/AgCl (3M KCl), crosslinked with a flavin adenine dinucleotide glucose ...
Multiplexed electrochemical cancer diagnostics with automated microfluidics
(Wiley, 2018-11-27)
Microfluidic platforms can lead to miniaturisation, increased throughput and reduced reagent consumption, particularly when the processes are automated. Here, a programmable microcontroller is used for automation of a ...
Comparison of performance of an earthen plate and nafion as membrane separators in dual chamber microbial fuel cells
(Universitatea Tehnica "Gheorghe Asachi" Iasi. Editura Politehnium, Romania, 2018-02)
The performance of microbial fuel cells (MFC) employing an earthen plate as a membrane separator is compared to that using Nafion 117 in an identical up-flow dual-chambered cylindrical cell configuration. The MFC configuration ...
Advances in rapid compression machine studies of low- and intermediate-temperature autoignition phenomena
(Elsevier, 2017-07-10)
Rapid compression machines (RCMs) are widely used to acquire experimental insights into fuel autoignition and pollutant formation chemistry, especially at conditions relevant to current and future combustion technologies. ...
The air-water interface stabilizes α-helical conformations of the insulin B-chain
(AIP Publishing, 2019-08-09)
Adsorption of proteins onto liquid interfaces, such as the air-water interface, often leads to changes in the protein conformation. This can lead to changes in protein assembly behaviour, with aggregation and fibrillation ...
Influence of acyl groups on glucopyranoside reactivity in Lewis acid promoted anomerisation
(Elsevier, 2018-05-26)
Lewis acid promoted anomerisation has potential in O- or S-glycoside synthesis. Herein, the anomerisation kinetics of thirty-one β-d-glucopyranosides was determined to determine how particular acyl protecting groups and ...
Effect of individual plasma components on the performance of a glucose enzyme electrode based on redox polymer mediation of a flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase
(Elsevier, 2019-02-11)
The performance of glucose enzyme electrodes, consisting of crosslinked flavin adenine dinucleotide glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH), an osmium redox polymer and multi-walled carbon nanotubes on graphite electrodes, was ...
Glucose biosensor based on open-source wireless microfluidic potentiostat
(Elsevier, 2019-02-17)
Wireless potentiostats capable of cyclic voltammetry and amperometry that connect to the Internet are emerging as key attributes of future point-of-care devices. This work presents an "integrated microfluidic electrochemical ...
