Isoelectric focusing in a polyacrylamide pH gradient gel is used to analyze the size distribution of gold nanoparticles synthesized by a chemical route with mercaptosuccinic acid as a ligand. The isoelectric point of the nanoparticles is shown to be size d ...
Colloid-polymer mixtures can undergo spinodal decomposition into colloid-rich and colloid-poor regions. Gelation results when interconnected colloid-rich regions solidify. We show that this occurs when these regions undergo a glass transition, leading to d ...
Membrane-associated proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis offer a challenge, as well as an opportunity, in the quest for better therapeutic and prophylactic interventions against tuberculosis. The authors have previously reported that extraction with the ...
The different steps associated with the curing of a PVAc/polyester blend are identified and correlated to the mechanism of shrinkage control in the presence of a low-profile additive (LPA). Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) is used as a LPA and is shown to induce ...
We optimize the preparation of BZY20 and BCY10 by a wet chemistry route (the polyacrylamide gel process) and mixed oxide route, respectively. For both materials, the purity of powders drastically depends on the annealing conditions of the raw materials. Pu ...
The kinetic properties of the Me methacrylate (MMA) polymn. at pilot scale for a given temp. range (130-170 Deg) were detd. by differential scanning calorimetry and batch expts. reflecting initiation by MMA peroxides, depropagation of the living chains as ...
Three strains of Sphingomonas paucimobilis, B90A, UT26 and Sp+, isolated from different geographical locations, were found to degrade hexachlorocyclohexane. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains do not fall in ...
The Off-Gel™ technology is an isoelectric focusing (IEF) fractionation method which enables the purification of one or several proteins in a solution placed on an immobilised pH gradient (IPG) gel. The present thesis is devoted to its characterisation and ...
We present an elastic registration algorithm for the alignment of biological images. Our method combines and extends some of the best techniques available in the context of medical imaging. We express the deformation field as a B-spline model, which allows ...
High-temp. polymn. has recently become of interest for industry because it yields higher reaction rates, and thus less reaction time, lower viscosity, and higher conversions. However, it also leads to new challenges for process engineering in regards to ma ...
