The improvement in hyphenated analytical techniques has significantly widened their applications to the analysis of biomaterials. In this article, we discuss recent advances in applications of hyphenated chromatographic techniques including capillary electrophoresis to the analyses of biological samples. As tools of separation, gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography and capi...

The hyphenated technique is developed from the coupling of a separation technique and an on-line spectroscopic detection technology. The remarkable improvements in hyphenated analytical methods over the last two decades have significantly broadened their applications in the analysis of biomaterials, especially natural products. In this article, recent advances in the applications of various hyp...

The present day status of elemental speciation is largely based on the use of hyphenated techniques in particular in the combination of various types of chromatography with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The present status of environmental speciation with the hyphenated techniques is reviewed. There is a growing need for more comprehensive approaches including the direct analysis...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether hyphens that disambiguate phrasing in ambiguous sentences influence reading rate and reading comprehension for younger and older adults. Moreover, as working memory (WM) has been implicated in age-related changes in sentence comprehension for both auditory and written materials, we asked if it contributed to comprehension of our sentences wit...

The present study examines the role of hyphenation in the processing of English compound words. English compound words that appear in the English language as both hyphenated (eg. grown-up) and unspaced (eg. grownup) were chosen as target stimuli. Half of the compound words chosen appeared more frequently in their hyphenated form while the other half of the compounds appeared more frequently in ...
