The use of log k derived from reversed phase (RP)-HPLC retention times provides a convenient method for estimating log P(oct) values (P(oct): 1-octanol/water partition coefficient). In order to establish optimal HPLC conditions, the difference between chromatographic (C18 modified column and aqueous methanol eluents) and bulk solvent systems was examined by use of a batch-like equilibration wit...

In most ecosystems, atmospheric deposition is the primary input of mercury. The total wet deposition of mercury in atmospheric chemistry models is sensitive to parameterization of the aqueous-phase reduction of divalent oxidized mercury (Hg). However, most atmospheric chemistry models use a parameterization of the aqueous-phase reduction of Hg that has been shown to be unlikely under normal amb...

Humor is hypothesized to be a social activity that alters the status of the humorist positively and that of the object or victim negatively. Of the two traditionally distingushed classes of humor, "ostracizing" humor singles out a victim, with others present or absent either incidental affiliates of the humorist (and one another) or unaffected. "AltBiative" humor, on the other hand, is focused ...

Purpose: To determine the effect of the temperature of water used for the preparation of paracetamol and ascorbic acid mixture on its stability, as well as to assess the influence of humidity on the stability of single components and their mixtures. Methods: The stability of the mixtures in aqueous medium was evaluated with the aid of UV–Vis spectrophotometer interfaced with a computer. Spectra...

The value of surface complexation modeling of radionuclide adsorption in supporting the selection of KI values should be given wider recognition within the performance assessment modeling process. Studies of uranium(Vl) adsorption by a weathered schist and specimen mineral phases that comprise the schist were conducted as a function of aqueous chemical conditions in laboratory experiments. The ...

a solid chelating material, 1-(2-pyridy1azo)-2-naphthol (pan) supported on naphthalene provides a rapid and highly selective means of preconcentration of uranium from aqueous solution. uranium is quantitatively retained on this adsorbent in the ph range 9.8-10.7 with a flow rate of 1 ml min . the metal complex was desorbed with 10 ml of 2 m hydrochloric acid and uranium is determined by differe...

an ultrasound-assisted surfactant-enhanced emulsification microextra- ction (uaseme) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection has been developed for the extraction and determination of thiopental in serum and urine samples. a simple microextraction method based on emulsification of organic extraction solvent in aqueous sample using an ionic surfactant and withou...

“SEM images were acquired at Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory Central research facilities, UIUC. Funding: We acknowledge University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Children’s Discovery Institute for financial assistance. Authors would like to gratefully acknowledge the kind support from Prof. Gang Logan Liu, ECE, UIUC and his laboratory for allowing us to use his inbuilt maskin...

Fluoresceinated IgG was injected centrally into the rabbit's cornea and both its rate of loss from the tissue and its rate of spread in the stroma were estimated by objective fluorometry. A new technique for determining the rate of loss was established which required only the measurement of the maximum fluorescence in the tissue. The rate at which freshly formed IgG in the blood would arrive at...
