Heats of adsoption for a series of hydocarbons on Laponite-RD clay were determined by two gas chromatographic methods. The first method was an extension of
With the increase in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, many research projects depend on the chemistry of peptide fragmentation. Elucidating fragmentation
A new method is demonstrated which can be used to produce streams of variable, controlled analyte concentration. The method works by electrokinetically
The input to the elegant and simple algorithm by Melkman must not be three collinear points. Otherwise, the algorithm correctly removes collinear points.
The control region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), commonly referred to as the D-loop, is highly polymorphic and contains a number of possible single nucleotide
Polyatomic primary ions have been recently applied to the depth profiling of organic materials by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Polyatomic primary
X-ray diffraction patterns of tetragonal and cubic yttria-stabilized were simulated to test the capability of Rietveld refinement to accurately seperate the

The structures of the clean and hydrated hematite alpha-Fe2O3 (1-102) surfaces were investigated using density functional theory, and the free energies of the
The fibrillar growth habit and 100} twinning may produce anomalous optical properties in fibrous amphiboles. The optical properties of 16 fibrous tremolite
New U.S. Federal low-level automobile emission requirements, such as Zero Level Emission Vehicle (ZLEV), for hydrocarbons and other species have resulted in the
Using statistical design-of-experiment (DEX) methods, beam tilt, defocus, and vibration of the microscope were determined to have large effects on the absolute

A piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet printer system has been used to prepare prototype trace explosive calibration materials to aid in the performance
Electron-excited x-ray mapping is a key operational mode of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS). The
We report photoelectron intensities of N 1s and O 1s peaks at selected emission angles for an SiON film on Si with different assumed amounts and distributions
Radiocarbon measurements performed on PM-2.5 samples collected near Nashville TN from June 21 to July 13, 1999, showed high levels of modern carbon, ranging
Synthetic musk fragrances are found in virtually every environmental compartment. They are a clear indicator of human impact in natural systems. In air, their

This preliminary technical note reports on the development of an on-line isotope dilution (ID) method that is applicable for the determination of inorganic and
Measurements leading to the calculation of the standard thermodynamic properties for gaseous bicyclopentyl (Chemical Abstracts registry number [1636-39-1] are
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) participated in an international interlaboratory study under the auspices of the Consultative
The viscosity and speed of sound of gaseous nitrous oxide and nitrogen trifluoridewere measured using a Greenspan acoustic viscometer. The data span the
This work describes the use of Grazing Incidence X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (GIXPS) to characterize the thickness of a silicon oxynitride ultrathin film
The chapter reviews the current state of the art of describing the thermodynamic behavior of fluids and fluid mixtures. It elucidates the difference between
The vapor-liquid equilibrium for pentafluoroethane +1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-125 +R-134a) was measured by the static method in the temperature range between
We have re-examined the amine-N to carbonyl-O proton transfer of protonated glycine using high-level coupled-cluster methods to resolve a discrepancy involving
