Contorted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with cove regions and zig-zag edges

The zig-zag product

The expander constructions based on algebraic methods can give expanders that are both explicit (i.e. we can quickly construct the graph, or even obtain neighborhood information without constructing the entire graph, and Ramanujan, meaning that the spectral gap is essentially as large as possible. It also follows from this spectral bound that the edge expansion of Ramanujan graphs is essentiall...

Capillary Electrochromatography: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Electrochromatography is utilized to separate a mixture of 16 different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Fused-silica capillary columns ranging in size from 50 to 150 pm i.d. were packed (20-40-cm sections) with 3-pm octadecylsilica particles. A potential of 15-30 kV is applied across the 30-50-cm total length capillary column to generate electroosmotic flow that carries the PAHs throug...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in carcinogenesis.

A symposium on "Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Carcinogenesis" was presented at the third International Congress of Pathophysiology held in Lathi, Finland, 28 June-3 July 1998. The congress was also sponsored by the International Union of Biological Sciences and the International Society of Free Radical Research. Institutional support for the symposium included the Electric Power Re...

Biodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Petroleum Contaminated Soils

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of potentially hazardous chemicals of environmental and health concern. PAHs are one of the most prevalent groups of contaminants found in soil. Biodegradation of complex hydrocarbon usually requires the cooperation of more than single specie. In this research biotreatment of PAH (phenanthrene) was studied in a solid-phase reactor using indigenou...
