Boiling Point versus Mass (author response)

French researchers at boiling point

Over 30,000 French scientists have signed an online petition to " save research " set up last month, with a pledge to stop their administrative duties unless the government starts listening to their complaints about funding. There is one signature for every minute that has passed since the petition — aiming to save the French public research base from the latest cuts imposed by the government —...

Molecular Weight by Boiling Point Elevation

This experiment demonstrates the use of colligative properties. The goal is to measure the molecular weight of a non-volatile solute by determining the concentration dependence of the boiling point elevation of a solution. The solvent used must be one of the compounds commonly referred to as volatile; that is, it must have an appreciable vapor pressure. One of the several useful aspects of coll...

Author response: incorrect citation.

In their letter in the December 2010 issue, “Author Response: Bevacizumab Suppression of Establishment of Micrometastases in Experimental Ocular Melanoma” Yang et al. state that “bevacizumab has been used in mouse models of choroidal neovascularization” and quote Hua et al., for which I am the corresponding author. This is an incorrect and misleading reference. We certainly did not show that be...
