Cyclic Voltammetry

Cyclic Voltammetry of Auranofin

The oxidative behavior of Auranofin, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranosato- S(triethylphosphine)gold(I), was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in 0.1 M Bu(4)NPF(6)/CH(2)Cl(2) and 0.1 M Bu(4)NPF(4)/CH(2)Cl(2) solutions using Pt working and auxiliary electrodes and a Ag/AgCI reference. CV studies at scan rates from 50-2,000 mV/s and Auranofin concentrations between 1 an...

Parallel Tree Contraction Part 1: Fundamentals

This paper introduces parallel tree contraction: a new bottom-up technique for constructing parallel algorithms on trees. Contraction can be used to solve a wide variety of problems. Two examples included in this article are expression evaluation and subexpression elimination. In this paper we show these applications only require time and processors on a randomized PRAM or processors on a deter...

Fundamentals of Agile Systems Engineering – Part 1

Agile systems-engineering and agile-systems engineering are two different concepts that share the word agile. In the first case the system of interest is an engineering process, and in the second case the system of interest is what is produced by an engineering process. The word agile refers to the adaptability and the sustainment of adaptability in both types of systems. Sustained adaptability...

Overview of Reverse Osmosis for Chemical Engineers Part 1, Fundamentals of Membrane Mass Transfer

Reverse osmosis (RO). has become a standard unit operation in Chemical Engineering. This separation process can be used for a wide variety of applications including: desalination of sea water, treatment of industrial wastes, concentration of food products, and recovery of value materials from solution mixtures. In order to best utilize RO it is necessary to have a fundamental understanding of t...
