Atmospheric moisture can contaminate calibrants for quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) spectroscopy and cause systematic errors in qNMR measurements. Therefore, coulometric Karl Fischer (CKF) titration was used to evaluate the hygroscopic

Previous reports present different models for the stabilization of the Fc—FcγRI immune complex. Although accord exists on the importance of L235 in IgG1 and some hydrophobic contacts for complex stabilization, discord exists regarding the existence of

We introduce the systematic database of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images obtained using density functional theory (DFT) for two-dimensional (2D) materials, calculated using the Tersoff-Hamann method. It currently contains data for 716 exfoliable

The Vitamin D External Quality Assessment Scheme (DEQAS) distributes human serum samples four times per year to over 1000 participants worldwide for the determination of total serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D)]. These samples are stored at −40 °C prior

Mass spectrometry and Raman vibrational spectroscopy were used to follow competitive dynamics between adsorption and desorption of H and anions during potential cycling of three low index Cu surfaces in acid electrolytes. Unique to Cu(111) is a redox wave

We present a new wide-ranging correlation for the viscosity of krypton based on critically evaluated experimental data. For the first time, such a correlation has as its basis the entropy scaling approach. We base the residual contribution on the Lennard
ABSTRACT: Living coordinative chain transfer polymeriza-tion (LCCTP) of α-olefins, including propene, 1-hexene, 1-decene, and 4-methyl-1-pentene, using the CPAM Hf pre-in-itiator 1, the borate co-initiator B1, and excess equivalents of diphenylzinc (ZnPh2)

The performance of solid-state electrochemical systems is intimately tied to the potential and lithium distributions across electrolyte–electrode junctions that give rise to interface impedance. Here, we combine two operando methods, Kelvin probe force
Unmelted titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) feedstock powder oxidizes during powder-bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM), which limits the useful lifetime of a batch of powder and affects the overall AM process cost. Critical understanding of key factors
A generalization of the Hylleraas-Configuration Interaction method (Hy-CI) first proposed in a previous study, the Exponentially Correlated Hylleraas-Configuration Interaction method (E-Hy-CI) in which the single rij of an Hy-CI wave function is
Chronometry (a.k.a age-dating, AD) of materials by bulk mass spectrometric methods is a well-established technique based on analysis protocols that have been used in geological fields and by the non-proliferation communities for many years. Recently, it

Non-targeted analysis (NTA) encompasses a rapidly evolving set of mass spectrometry techniques aimed at characterizing the chemical composition of complex samples, identifying unknown compounds, and/or classifying samples, without prior knowledge regarding
This review presents a survey of the most important achievements in atomic and molecular calculations obtained with the Hylleraas-configuration interaction method (Hy-CI) and its extension the exponentially correlated Hylleraas-configuration interaction

According to an empirical sulfur solubility model developed from over 200 simulated low-activity waste (LAW) glasses, chlorine and chromium show strong effects on lowering sulfur solubility in glass. This work investigates the saturation concentrations of

The efficiency of the synthesis of renewable fuels and feedstocks from electrical sources is limited, at present, by the sluggish water oxidation reaction. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with a controllable coordination environment and exceptional atom
Residual entropy scaling (RES) of thermal conductivity was applied to pure refrigerants, including natural and halogenated refrigerants, and their mixtures. The reference equations of state and the mixture models implemented in the REFPROP software package
