There is a growing list of chemieals that induce a male rat specific renal disease, known as (Y2u-G nephropathy (1). Neither female rats nor either sex of mice, guinea pigs, dogs, or monkeys develop this renal disease upon exposure to these chemicals (13). The acute stage of a2u-G nephropathy is characterized by an accumulation of protein droplets in lysosomes of the P2-segment of the proximal ...

Single component as well as binary component reforming studies were conducted on diesel surrogates (tetradecane, decalin, and 1-methylnaphthalene). H2, CO, and CO2 production was measured as a function of temperature, space velocity, and reforming type for a Pt-based catalyst. Intermediate species formation of various hydrocarbons including olefins and aromatics were observed during reforming. ...

We study the heterogeneous dynamics of attractive colloidal particles close to the gel transition using confocal microscopy experiments combined with a theoretical statistical analysis. We focus on single particle dynamics and show that the self-part of the van Hove distribution function is not the Gaussian expected for a Fickian process, but that it reflects instead the existence, at any given...

Recently Escobedo and Mansoori (AIChE J. 42(5): 1425, 1996) proposed a new expression, originally derived from statistical mechanics, for the surface tension prediction of pure fluids. In this report, the same theory is extended to the case of mixtures of organic liquids with the following expression, σm = [(1-Tr,m) Tr,m exp (0.30066/Tr,m + 0.86442 Tr,m) (P 0,m ρL,m P 0,m ρv,m)] 4 P0,m = { ΣiΣj...

We present novel measurements of the structure of colloidal gels. Using confocal microscopy, we obtain the precise three-dimensional positions of a large number of particles. We develop quantitative descriptions of the topology of the gel, including the number of bonds per particle, the chemical or bond fractal dimension, the number of flexible pivot points and other topological parameters that...

We characterized the transport, i.e., time-of-flight, and nanoscale thermal properties of amorphous polymer nanoglobules fabricated via a laser-deposition technique, Matrix-Assisted Pulsed Laser Deposition (MAPLE). Here, we report the first experimental measurement of the velocity of polymer during MAPLE processing and its connection to nanostructured film formation. A nanoscale dilatometry tec...

Accurate solvation parameters have been established using solely gas/liquid partition data by gas/chromatography from the Kováts group (Laffort et al. J. Chromatog. A, 2005, 1100, 90-107). Because these chromatographic data have been recently updated (Kováts and Kresz, J. Chromatog. A, 2006, 1113, 206-219), the solvation parameters of the involved solutes and stationary phases have been entirel...
