Pulsed N.M.R. techniques are used to study the dynamic behavior of viscous fluids ((eta) > 1 Poise) in the supercooled state. The applicability of the hydrodynamic equations to high viscosity systems is investigated at ...

This thesis describes the modification of the commercial TFC-S nanofiltration membrane with shape-persistent dendritic architectures. Amphiphilic aromatic polyamide dendrimers (G1-G3) are synthesized via a divergent approach ...

The reactions used to achieve both types of composite membranes were characterized by external reflection mode Fourier-transformed infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), while SPR measurements ...

Sonochemistry arises from acoustic cavitation; the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles in a liquid. The implosive collapse of bubble generates localized hot spots, with temperatures of $\sim$5000 K, pressures ...

An important theme in surface/interface science is the development of molecular level understandings of interactions at solid-liquid interfaces. The study of molecular recognition at such interfaces is well suited for ...

The design, fabrication and use of a near field scanning optical microscope to investigate the structure-property relationships of porous gallium arsenide is reported. Novel porous gallium arsenide (GaAs) surfaces containing ...

Every neuron in our brain is bathed in a sea of diverse signaling molecules, including peptides. It is well known that neuropeptides, acting as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and peptide hormones, play pivotal roles ...

A variety of results on these neurotransmitters/neuromodulators have been elucidated using CE-LIF methods. Experimental results of the D-Asp study are consistent with the hypothesis that D-Asp is involved in cell to cell ...
