The present study describes the application of simultaneous kinetic spectrophotometric determination of hydrazine (HZ) and isoniazid (INH), using H-point standard addition method (HPSAM) and partial least squares (PLS) calibration. The methods are based on the difference observed in the rate of iron (III) reduction with HZ and INH, in the presence of 2,2'-bipyridine (Bpy) and the subsequent com...

Standard calibration methods used to determine trace analytes usually yield significant deviations from the actual analyte value in the presence of interferents in the assay media. These deviations become of particular concern when the concentration of the analyte is low, and when the results are used to draw mechanistic or kinetic conclusions, for instance in enzyme structure-function studies....

In this paper we propose a new approach to point scalar multiplication on elliptic curves defined over fields of characteristic greater than 3. It is based on new point addition formulae that suit very well to exponentiation algorithms based on Euclidean addition chains. However finding small chains remains a very difficult problem, so we also develop a specific exponentiation algorithm, based ...
