Noble gas viscosities at 25 degrees C

August 10, 2012
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, William C. Burton
Near 25 C, ab initio calculations of the zero-density viscosity of helium gas eta_He have an uncertainty of approximately 0.001 %, which is 1/40th of the uncertainty of the best measurements. The uncertainties of the published calculations for neon [Bich

Ionic Liquid Facilitated Introduction of Functional Materials into Biopolymer Polymer Substrates

August 2, 2012
Author(s)
Shonali Nazare, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Mauro Zammarano, Luke Haverhals, W.Matthew Reichert, Hugh De Long, Paul C. Trulove
In addition to being efficient solvents for biopolymers, several ionic liquids (ILs) have been shown to be effective solvents for synthetic polymers such as meta-aramids, i.e., Nomex ® (1-5). In this report, meta-aramid/cotton composites are generated by

SEABIRD TISSUE ARCHIVAL AND MONITORING PROJECT: Egg Collections and Analytical Results for 2006-2009

August 2, 2012
Author(s)
Stacy S. Schuur, Paul R. Becker, Sylvain Berail, Russell D. Day, Olivier F. Donard, Keith A. Hobson, Amanda J. Moors, Rebecca S. Pugh, Lauren B. Rust, David G. Roseneau
Since 1999, the Seabird Tissue Archival and Monitoring Project (STAMP) has collected, banked, and analyzed seabird eggs using established protocols to monitor chlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), brominated flame retardants, and

Comparison of JP-8 and JP-8+100 with the Advanced Distillation Curve Approach

August 1, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Kathryn R. Abel, Jennifer Riggs
Additive packages are used with aviation kerosenes to achieve performance enhancements such as higher or lower operating temperatures or increased lubricity. An additive used to increase operating temperatures for heat sink applications is the +100

Solubility of Water in 1-Octanol from 2 degC to 96 degC

July 25, 2012
Author(s)
Brian E. Lang
The solubility of water in 1-octanol was measured from 2 °C to 96 °C by coulometric Karl Fischer titration. The mass fraction solubility at 25 ° was found to be (48.91 ± 0.13) mg/g. Experiments also indicated the existence of a pseudo-equilibrium state

Identification of Isethionic Acid and Other Small Molecule Metabolites of Fragilariopsis cylindrus with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

July 8, 2012
Author(s)
Dan Bearden, Arezue F. Boroujerdi, Peter A. Lee, Giacomo R. DiTullio, Michael G. Janech, Sarah B. Vied
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-spectroscopy has been used to obtain metabolic profiles of the polar diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus, leading to the identification of a novel metabolite in this organism. Initial results from an ongoing metabolomics study

Hydrodynamic chromatography

June 21, 2012
Author(s)
Andre M. Striegel, Amandaa Brewer
Hydrodynamic chromatography (HDC) has experienced a resurgence in recent years for particle and polymer characterization due, principally, to its coupling to a multiplicity of physical detection methods. Coupled to light scattering (both multi-angle static

Preparation and Measurement Methods for Studying Nanoparticle Aggregate Surface Chemistry

June 8, 2012
Author(s)
Christopher W. Szakal, James McCarthy, Andrew R. Konicek, Kacie Louis, Benjamin Yezer, Andrew A. Herzing, Robert Hamers, Richard D. Holbrook
Despite best efforts at controlling nanoparticle (NP) surface chemistries, the environment surrounding nanomaterials is always changing and can impart a permanent chemical memory. We present a set of preparation and measurement methods to be used as the

Perfluoroalkyl Contaminants in Plasma of Five Sea Turtle Species: Comparisons in Concentration and Potential Health Risks

May 23, 2012
Author(s)
Jennifer M. Lynch, Lily Ngai, Joanne Braun-McNeill, Larry Wood, Kelly Stewart, Steven O'Connell, John R. Kucklick
We compared the plasma concentration of 13 perfluorinated contaminants (PFCs) in five sea turtle species. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was predominant in most species, except hawksbills had higher concentrations of perfluorononanoate. Excluding

A Guide to Using SRM 2569 to Validate Analytical Methods

May 17, 2012
Author(s)
John R. Sieber, John L. Molloy
A user’s guide is presented for Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2569 Lead in Paint Films for Children’s Products. This SRM consists of paint films on coupons of polyester with the paint characterized for mass fraction of Pb, mass of Pb per unit area

Structure and stability of hydrated ss-MnO2 surfaces

May 9, 2012
Author(s)
Gloria A. Oxford, Anne M. Chaka
Hydration of the β-MnO2 (110), (100), and (101) surfaces is investigated using a combination of periodic density functional theory and ab initio thermodynamics. Fully hydrated surfaces are found to be significantly more stable than the stoichiometric ones

A Proteomics Performance Standard to Support Measurement Quality in Proteomics

April 21, 2012
Author(s)
Ashley B. Green, David M. Bunk, Paul A. Rudnick, Karen W. Phinney, Lisa E. Kilpatrick
The emergence of mass spectrometry-based proteomic platforms as a prominent technology utilized in biochemical and biomedical research has increased the need for high-quality MS measurements. To address this need, NIST Reference Material (RM) 8323 Yeast
