The stability of the glycosidic linkage of methyl-?-mannose was studied in the gas phase and in aqueous solution by ab initio calculations, and by molecular
Using ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy, we have characterized assembly of decanethiol monolayers on Au(111). Our results show that the monolayer
Recommendations are given for Problem 11(d): diethanol amine density at problen-conditions: (1) 0.1 MPa, 330 K and (2) 5 MPa, 400 K. The recommended values and
The corrections for atomic number and absorption effects in electron microprobe analysis proposed by Castaing in his Ph.D. thesis have been adapted and re

The adsorption of Cu electrodeposition accelerating agents SPS and MPS on evaporated Cu thin films was examined in-situ using spectroscopic ellipsometry under
The degradation of all classes of cellular RNA is critical for biological function. The enzymes that carry out this function in all organisms are either exo- or
The expansion of molecular testing using nucleic acid technologies in clinical and public health practice has increased the need for appropriate reference
The surface properties of silica are of great importance in many areas of technology including microelectronics, chemical separations, catalysis, and biosensing
Part I of this work systematically developed a pressure-dependent reaction mechanism for the high-conversion pyrolysis of ethane [1], as studied experimentally
Theoretical examination of the cadmium substitution in the native zinc phosphotriesterase provides insight into the coordination binding and emphasizes the
Recommendations are given for Problem 11(g): pyridine density at problem conditions: (1) 0. I MPa, 298 K and (2) 1 0 MPa, 375 K. The recommended valuesand their

Homocysteine (HCY) and folate are interrelated biomarkers for arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease with health problems associated with increased levels
Background: To address the continuing need for the standardization of clinical human cardiac troponin I (cTnI) assays, NIST, with the assistance of the AACC
High electron transfer rates to redox proteins were achieved by optimizing metal oxide electrode electronic properties. Doping levels and flat band potential
Mutagenesis effects can be classified into direct where the mutation occurs at the site of the binding interaction on the protein and indirect where the
In situ Raman spectra were obtained on coupons of alloy 600, 304L stainless steel, and a Zr-alloy exposed to hydrothermal conditions. For the alloy 600 and the
Some of the more important developments in science and practical demands in commerce have been linked to attempts to detect rare events and rare contaminants
The geometry of Minkowski spacetime is pseudo-Euclidean, thanks to the time component term being negative in the expression for the four dimensional interval
