capillary electrophoresis (ce) with indirect uv detection is an interesting analytical method for the analysis of drugs and pharmaceuticals. good and reproducible capillary quality is needed to develop robust methods and to facilitate method transfer in ce. it is widely accepted that preconditioning procedures are indispensable in capillary electrophoresis in order to achieve reproducibility of...

Displacement of oil and water in porous media of reservoir rocks is described by relative                      permeability curves, which are important input data for reservoir performance simulation and drive mechanism studies. Many core studies, such as multiphase relative permeability, capillary pressure and saturation exponent determination, depend on the volume fractions of multiphase flui...

Using the Monte Carlo (MC) method, this paper derives arithmetic and geometric means and associated variances of the net capillary drive parameter, G, that appears in the Parlange infiltration model, as a function of soil texture and antecedent soil moisture content. Approximate expressions for the arithmetic and geometric statistics of G are also obtained, which compare favourably with MC gene...

One of shortcomings of the dielectric wakefield accelerators (DWA) limiting the effective length of an acceleration is susceptibility of drive bunches to beam breakup (BBU) instability [1]. With the purpose to suppress this instability recently it has been proposed to fill the drift channel of dielectric structure with plasma of certain density [2]. The investigations of plasma DWA (PDWA) [2] w...

We describe a method, based on pressure-assisted capillary electrophoresis coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PACE/ESI-MS), that allows the simultaneous and quantitative analysis of multivalent anions, such as citrate isomers, nucleotides, nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotides, and flavin adenine dinucleotide, and coenzyme A (CoA) compounds. Key to the analysis was using a nonch...

When a nonviscous liquid is injected into a porous medium already filled with a viscous fluid the system can be found in two different regimes: one where the dominant forces are of capillary nature and another where the viscous forces are predominant. The theoretical description of such system is based on two models: diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) 1 and invasion percolation . DLA describes...

A laser-induced fluorescence detection system coupled with a highly sensitive silicon-intensified target (SIT) camera is successfully applied to the imaging of a band for DNA fragment labeling by fluorescence dye in a microchannel, and to the visualizing of the separation process on a microfabricated chip. We demonstrated that an only 6 mm separation channel is sufficient for the separation of ...
