The distillation behavior of mixed alcohols was studied using the Advanced Distillation Curve (ADC) methodology. Crude mixed oxygenates were generated from syngas over a potassium promoted cobalt molybdenum sulfide catalyst and assayed for major and minor

Phosphorylcholine (PC) based phospholipid bilayers have proven useful as capillary coating materials due to their inherent resistance to non-specific protein adsorption. The primary limitation of this important class of capillary coatings remains the
Polymorphic variation in the apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene is the major genetic susceptibility factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) and likely contributes to neuropathology through various pathways. It is recognized that apoE undergoes proteolytic
In this paper we revisit, with pedagogical emphasis for high-resolution spectroscopists, some presently existing discussions of phase factors for fixed-nuclei electronic wavefunctions in the Jahn-Teller problem. We give explicit examples, for a symmetric

A sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method has been developed for the determination of vitamin B12. The method was based on efficient isocratic separation with a
Photo Thermal Induced Resonance (PTIR), recently attracted great interest for enabling chemical identification and imaging with nanoscale resolution. In this paper, the PTIR working principles are reviewed along the main results from a recent publication

An understanding of the formation, distribution and overall excitation of large molecules in astronomical environments remains in question even though more than 170 distinct chemical compounds have been detected in astronomical environments. Furthermore, a
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently established a Vitamin D Metabolites Quality Assurance Program (VitDQAP) in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements. Participants in the

Predatory bird species occupy high trophic levels and consequently are susceptible to bioaccumulating high levels of environmental contaminants. To evaluate potential risks from exposure to past- and current- use contaminants, levels of legacy contaminants
The potential effect of spectral interference on the accurate measurement of the cadmium (Cd) mass fraction in nutraceutical materials using inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass spectrometry was studied. The materials were two new Standard Reference
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles result from the condensation of oxidized volatile organic compounds (VOC) and consist of a complex mixture that resists a complete analysis. We present a simple methodology for determining the quantities of

A method for quantifying the level of glutathione (GSH) in yeast cell lysate is described using 1H NMR analysis. For quantification purposes, the 1H resonances corresponding to the Cys βCH2 of GSH were identified as having the fewest overlapping spectral

As the availab¬¬ility of publicly accessible spectral line surveys from radio astronomy increases, new approaches to the identification of molecules in the interstellar medium are possible. We have performed reaction product screening measurements using
Photo Thermal Induced Resonance (PTIR), recently attracted great interest for enabling chemical identification and imaging with nanoscale resolution. In this work, electron beam nano-patterned polymer samples were fabricated directly on 3-dimentional zinc
