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 ... -
Influence of chemical composition on the fluorescence lifetimes of crude petroleum oils
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2003)Fluorescence based methods are increasingly being used for the analysis of crude oils because they offer high speed, low cost, non-contact, and non-destructive testing options. The fluorescence of crude oils is due to the ... -
The influence of co-formers on the dissolution rates of co-amorphous sulfamerazine/excipient systems
(Elsevier, 2016-03-16)A comprehensive study on the dissolution properties of three co-amorphous sulfamerazine/excipient systems, namely sulfamerazine/deoxycholic acid, sulfamerazine/citric acid and sulfamerazine/sodium taurocholate (SMZ/DA, ... -
Influence of excipients on cocrystal stability and formation
(American Chemical Society, 2020-05-26)Cocrystal formation is widely used to modify and optimize the physicochemical properties of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). However, the stability of cocrystals toward formulation with excipients is little ... -
The influence of iso-butene kinetics on the reactivity of di-isobutylene and iso-octane
(Elsevier, 2020-09-06)The continuous development of a core C-0 - C-4 kinetic mechanism generally involves updating it using reliable kinetics and thermodynamics and may also involve the inclusion of missing reaction pathways to improve the ... -
Influence of protein (human galectin-3) design on aspects of lectin activity
(Springer, 2020-04-25)The concept of biomedical significance of the functional pairing between tissue lectins and their glycoconjugate counterreceptors has reached the mainstream of research on the flow of biological information. A major challenge ... -
Influence of steam dilution on the ignition of hydrogen, syngas and natural gas blends at elevated pressures
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-11-10)This paper presents the influence of steam dilution on the autoignition behaviour of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, syngas, methane, and natural gas mixtures under gas turbine-relevant conditions. Rapid compression machine ... -
The influence of surface composition of carbon nanotubes on the photobioelectrochemical activity of thylakoid bioanodes mediated by osmium-complex modified redox polymer
