Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used to study the polydispersity of TX-100/SDS and C12E8/SDS micelle systems. Compared with other techniques, CE provides more specific and graphically detailed information on the compositional polydispersity of such micellar systems. Clear evidence of the coexistence of micelles rich in either nonionic or anionic component has been obtained. This coexistence ...

Small Developing States (SDS) face substantial challenges in achieving sustainable development. Many of these relate to the small size and limited diversification their economies. SDS are also among most vulnerable countries impact climate change natural disasters. Meeting development goals goes hand-in-hand with building resilience. But additional costs meet resilience objectives difficult fin...

This paper characterizes the complexes formed by a small protein, ubiquitin (UBI), and a negatively charged surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), using capillary electrophoresis (CE), circular dichroism (CD), and amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX; as monitored by mass spectroscopy, MS). Capillary electrophoresis of complexes of UBI and SDS, at apparent equilibrium, at concentrations of...

Using the longitudinal growth data of 13,809 individuals in Akita Prefecture, percentage distributions their adult height (AH) standard deviation scores (SDS) relation to prepubertal SDS were obtained. The AH increased with negative and decreased positive SDS, showing that a greater amount change was associated interval from mean. proportions who achieved normal stratified by as follows: 67.1%,...

BACKGROUND Models assessing characteristics contributing to response to recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) response rarely address growth extremes in both years 1 and 2 or examine how children track from year to year. Using National Cooperative Growth Study (NCGS) data, we determined characteristics contributing to responsiveness to rhGH and the pattern of change from years 1 to 2. PATIE...
