providing adaptive resource intensive Web services from mobile hosts needs to be done in a rather light-weight manner to allow continuous service provisioning. Processing and communication will drain the battery rapidly; hence both should be kept at a minimum. This paper describes the outcomes of an investigation into offloading and migration mechanisms that facilitate provision of adaptive and...

results the prevalence of excessive mobile phone use was 36.7% on the students. there was a significant relation between the prevalence of excessive mobile phone use and mental health status in general (p > 0.05), and also somatization (p < 0.05), anxiety and depression specifically (p < 0.05), but no significant relation was found between the excessive mobile phone use and social dysfunction (...

A new chiral liquid-chromatographic method was developed for the enantiomeric separation of ofloxacin with a fluorescence detector. The enantiomers of ofloxacin were baseline resolved on a Chiralcel OD-H (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) column using a mobile-phase system containing hexane-ethanol-methanol-acetic acid-diethylamine (70/20/10/0.45/0.05, v/v/v/v/v). The presence of diethylamine in the m...

2-Hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) was enantiomerically separated using copper(II) acetate and N,N-dimethyl-L-phenylalanine as chiral additives. These compounds formed diastereomeric complexes with 2-HG, which were successfully on an achiral (ODS) column. Several parameters, such additive concentration, the type of organic modifier, column temperature, optimized. Using optimal mobile phase (1 mM 2 in a ...

The retention behaviour of four active compounds from Sophora Flavescens Ait using three ionic liquids as mobile phase modifiers was examined. The effect of the pH and the amount of ionic liquid modifier on the retention of these compounds was determined in methanol/water (v/v) as the mobile phase containing different ionic liquids ranging in concentration from 0.1 mmol/L to 3.0 mmol/L. The ion...

The effect of two acids (phosphoric and acetic) and their derivatives (hydrogen di(2-ethylhexyl)orthophosphoric, chloroacetic, dichloroacetic, trichloroacetic, and trifluoroacetic acids) on the retention of selected alkaloids on silica gel plates has been investigated. The dependence of the chromatographic behaviour of the alkaloids on mobile phase diluent and on the concentration of the acids ...
