The labile cobalt (II) complex [Co(TUF)2(Pic)2] with 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedione (TUF) bidentate and 4-methylpyridine (Pic) monodentate ligands was studied by variable temp. (VT) 19F NMR from 184 to 312 K. In contrast to the solid state, ...
Photoacoustic spectroscopy is a widely recognised technique to measure trace gases at parts-per-million (ppm) or parts-per-billion (ppb) level using semiconductor laser in the near infrared range. This technique is based on the generation of an acoustic wa ...
This thesis presents the different steps in the development of a multiple diagnostic experimental setup and the results concerning the kinetics of condensation and evaporation of water over pure ice, as well as ice films doped with a known amount of atmosp ...
Background: Mitosis depends upon the cooperative action of multiple microtubule (MT)-based motors. Among these, a kinesin-5, KLP61 F, and the kinesin-14, Ncd, are proposed to generate antagonistic-sliding forces that control the spacing of the spindle pole ...
The effects of the size (pseudo-generation number) and nature of end groups on physical and rheological properties were investigated for a series of hyperbranched polyesters based on an ethoxylated pentaerythritol core and 2,2-bis-(hydroxymethyl) propionic ...
A modified synthetic boundary expt. of anal. ultracentrifugation has been employed to examine, online, polyelectrolyte complex formation at flat interfaces yielding highly swollen membranes/networks. Systematic expts. with sodium alginate as a polyanion an ...
Effective interstitial transport of particles is necessary for injected drug/diagnostic agents to reach the intended target; however, quantitative methods to estimate such transport parameters are lacking. In this study we develop an in vivo model for eval ...
With higher nutrient and oxygen supply and close contact to blood, the portal vein is a possible alternative to the peritoneal cavity for transplantation of encapsulated cells. Data regarding intraportal biocompatibility of microcapsules are lacking. Micro ...
The formation and quenching of the triplet state of xanthone are studied by femtosecond techniques. As revealed by femtosecond fluorescence spectroscopy, the primarily excited 1ππ* state decays within 1.5 ps. In a transient absorption experiment, this time ...
Placing concrete requires much more water than the cement needs for its hydration. This results in an important porosity in the hardened concrete, which accentuates the degradation of this material. By adding small amounts of polymeric admixtures, called s ...
