Mittleman) We describe the observation of a broad and strongly temperature-dependent peak in the terahertz absorption spectrum of several linear n-alkanes. On cooling from the liquid into the rotator phase, the absorption is enhanced within a very narr...

an extensive study of higher alcohols synthesis (has) from syngas using alkalized mos2 catalysts supported on carbon nanotubes (cnts) is reported. up to 30wt.% of mo and 8wt.% k are added to the cnts by impregnation method. the catalysts were characterized by different methods and the performance of the catalysts was assessed in a micro-reactor. tem images showed that most of the metal particle...

for better management of asthma it is essential that patients adjust their treatment according to the medical plan developed by the health care professionals. to achieve this goal, patients should assess the severity of their disease regularly. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of regular measurement of peak expiratory flow and patient education on self management of asthma....

The boreal winter response of the ocean mixed layer to the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) in the IndoPacific region is determined using in situ observations from the Argo profiling float dataset. Composite averages over numerous events reveal that the MJO forces systematic variations in mixed layer depth and temperature throughout the domain. Strong MJO mixed layer depth anomalies (.15 m peak ...

isoniazid (inh) was studied with regard to its electrochemical treatment on a strongly alkaline solution of a poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-modified gold electrode, using both cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential techniques. this composite electrode exhibited 4-fold higher oxidation of inh, in accordance with peak densities, than the bare gold electrode. it was used the central compo...
