Application of a constant hole volume Sanchez–Lacombe equation of state to mixtures relevant to polymeric foaming
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)A variant of the Sanchez–Lacombe equation of state is applied to several polymers, blowing agents, and saturated mixtures of interest to the polymer foaming industry. These are low-density polyethylene– carbon dioxide and ... -
Application of a new grading scale for tear ferning in non-dry eye and dry eye subjects
(Elsevier, 2014-09-14)Purpose: To apply the Masmali tear ferning (TF) grading scale on non-dry eye (NDE) and dry eye (DE) subjects to test the validity of the grading scale in practice, and to describe the grading scale range for NDE and DE. ... -
Application of Pyrene Fluorescence to the Characterization of Hydrophobically Modified Starch Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2018-06-25)Several aspects of pyrene fluorescence were applied to gain an insight into the nature of the microdomains in hydrophobically modified starch nanoparticles (HM-SNPs), prepared by reacting SNPs with propionic and hexanoic ... -
Application of solid phase microextraction for quantification of polyunstarurated fatty acids in biological fluids
(ACS, 2014)Development of a straightforward strategy for simultaneous quantitative analysis of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) species in biofluids is a challenging task because of the extreme complexity of fatty acid distribution ... -
Application of Solid Phase Microextraction for Quantitation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Biological Fluids
(American Chemical Society, 2014-11-17)Development of a straightforward strategy for simultaneous quantitative analysis of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) species in biofluids is a challenging task because of the extreme complexity of fatty acid distribution ... -
An approach to improve direct runoff estimates and reduce uncertainty in the calculated groundwater component in water balances of large lakes
(Journal of Hydrology, 2015-10-30)Groundwater is important in the overall water budget of a lake because it affects the quantity and quality of surface water and the ecological health of the lake. The water balance equation is frequently used to estimate ... -
Aptamer-based biosensors for biomedical diagnostics
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-06-07)Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that selectively bind to target molecules. Most aptamers are obtained through a combinatorial biology technique called SELEX. Since aptamers can be isolated to bind to almost any ... -
Aptamer-Functionalized Hydrogel Microparticles for Fast Visual Detection of Mercury(II) and Adenosine
(American Chemical Society, 2012-04-25)With a low optical background, high loading capacity, and good biocompatibility, hydrogels are ideal materials for immobilization of biopolymers to develop optical biosensors. We recently immobilized mercury and lead binding ... -
Aqueous intercalation-type electrode materials for grid-level energy storage: Beyond the limits of lithium and sodium
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Intermittent, fluctuational, and unpredictable features of renewable energy require grid-level energy storage (GES). Among various types of GES, aqueous electrochemical storage is undoubtedly the most promising method due ... -
Arborescent Poly(L-glutamic acid)s as Standards to Study the Dense Interior of Polypeptide Mesoglobules by Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
(American Chemical Society, 2018-10-01)A series of arborescent poly(l-glutamic acid)s of generations 0 to 3 (PGA(GY) with Y = 0–3) were randomly labeled with 1-pyrenemethylamine to yield several Py-PGA(GY) constructs with pyrene contents ranging between 2.5 and ... -
Are high lags of accommodation in myopic children due to motor deficits?
(Elsevier, 2017-01)Children with a progressing myopia exhibit an abnormal pattern of high accommodative lags coupled with high accommodative convergence (AC/A) and high accommodative adaptation. This is not predicted by the current models ... -
Assembly of DNA-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles with Gaps and Overhangs in Linker DNA
