Mixed-addenda vanadium substituted polyoxometalate supported on anatase TiO2 crushed nano leaf was synthesized by an unusual reaction with titanium tetraisopropoxide at 100 ºC via sol–gel method under oil-bath condition. The materials characterized by XRD, TEM,  IR and UV–vis  techniques.  In  the  present  work,  efficient  oxidative  of  thiols  with  polyoxometalate-TiO2/hydrogen  peroxide  ...

A sandwich problem for a graph with respect to a graph property Π is a partially specified graph, i.e., only some of the edges and non-edges are given, and the question to be answered is, can this graph be completed to a graph which has the property Π? The graph sandwich problem was investigated for a large number of families of graphs in a 1995 paper by Golumbic, Kaplan and Shamir, and much su...

Free-standing thin films of complex fluids can be investigated at controlled pressure conditions using a sandwich-type microfluidic chip design.

light weight wood base sandwich panels have some special properties and their most important properties is high mechanical strength with its light weight. these panels can replace instead of traditional structural systems in iran. the purpose of this paper is investigating the mechanical properties of light weight wood base sandwich panels that have made from sunflower stalk wastes and particle...

The effects of adding an extra layer within a sandwich panel and two different core types in top and bottom cores on low velocity impact loadings are studied experimentally in this paper. The panel includes polymer composite laminated sheets for faces and the internal laminated sheet called extra layer sheet, and two types of crushable foams are selected as the core material. Low velocity impac...

In the present investigation, we obtain subordination and superordination – preserving properties of certain integral operator with the sandwich type theorem.

We describe a new clinical laboratory instrument, the ACS:180, used to automate heterogeneous immunoassay testing. The ACS:180 automates immunoassays in which paramagnetic particles are the solid phase and changes in chemiluminescence are measured. The system can accommodate both competitive and sandwich-type assay configurations. The microprocessor-based instrument fully automates each step of...

This paper is concerned with using similarity for case retrieval, especially in interactive case retrieval systems (ICRSs). We deene and exemplify similarity metrics, which are a generalisation of similarity measures, having any partial order as their result type. Within this new similarity metric setting, we deene the notion of thèbest' cases in case retrieval. We then show the variety of ways...

BACKGROUND Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is an unstable molecule that can rapidly lose immunologic activity in blood. Conventional sandwich BNP immunoassays use 2 antibodies specific to 2 different epitopes. Larger distances between epitopes are associated with a greater probability of proteolysis sites being located between the antibody-binding sites, and thus such assays have an increased s...

Introducing substituents into the 6-position of the 2-pyridyl rings of neutral tris-pyridyl phosphanes of the type P(2-py')3 (where 2-py' is a substituted 2-pyridyl ring), has a marked impact on their coordination of transition metal ions, as revealed in the current study. Whereas the unsubstituted phosphorus-bridged tris-pyridyl ligand P(2-py)3 (1) forms the sandwich cation [{P(py)3}2Fe](2+) (...
