Molecular characterisation of Brucella species.

The genus Brucella (Mayer and Shaw, 1920) currently consists often species with validly published names. Within most species further differentiation into biovars exists. Genetically, all Brucella species are highly related to each other, exhibiting sequence similarity values of 98% to 100% in aligned regions (core genome). The population structure is clonal. Despite this close genetic relatedne...

Characterisation of Molecular Organisation in Polymeric Materials

Over the past forty years, considerable advances have been made in our understanding of the way in which the physical properties of polymers can be related to their chemical structure.1 The ability to interpret changes in the observed physical properties in terms of changes in chemical structure requires knowledge of the way in which polymer chains are organised at micron and submicron levels. ...

The characterisation of molecular alkali-metal azides.

Matrix isolation infrared (IR) studies have been carried out on the vaporisation of the alkali-metal azides MN3 (M = Na, K, Rb and Cs). The results show that under high vacuum conditions, molecular KN3, RbN3 and CsN3 are present as stable high-temperature vapour species, together with variable amounts of nitrogen gas and the corresponding metal atoms. The characterisation of these molecular azi...
