A Conversation with Carol Robinson
نویسنده
چکیده
Dame Carol Robinson, Professor of Chemistry at Oxford University, has excelled at pushing electrospray mass spectrometry to places thought impossible. With the technique, which analyzes aerosolized droplets of samples, she has studied the structure and function of membrane proteinsmolecules that are present in all cells and are popular drug targets. Katharine Sanderson recently met with Robinson to talk to her about what drew her to this particular analytical method and the remarkable things it can do.

Surface Tension Prediction of n-Alkanes by a Modified Peng-Robinson Equation of State Using the Density Functional Theory
Through this study, the ability of a modified Peng-Robinson (MPR) equation of state in predicting the surface tension of n-alkanes based on the density functional theory approach was investigated and compared with other studies. The interfacial layer thickness and the density profile were calculated simultaneously at different temperatures from triple point to near critical point using the modi...
متن کاملReduction of Reservoir Fluid Equilibrium Calculation for Peng-Robinson EOS with Zero Interaction Coefficients
For some of the EOS models the dimension of equilibrium problem can be reduced. Stability and difficulties in implementation are among the problems of flash calculation. In this work, a new reduction technique is presented to prepare a reduced number of equilibrium equations. Afterwards, a number of appropriate solution variables are selected for the prepared equation system to solve the equati...

متن کاملVocabulary Lists for EAP and Conversation Students
Despite the abundance of research investigating general and academic vocabularies and developing dozens of word lists, few studies have compared academic vocabulary with general service word lists such as conversation vocabulary. Many EAP researchers assume that university students need to know all the words in West’s (1953) General Service List (GSL) as a prerequisite to academic words (e.g., ...
متن کاملModification of the Peng-Robinson Equation of State (Generalization)
A modification of Peng-Robinson equation is described wherein in the parameter b is expressed as a linear function of temperature. The modified equation is then applied to a series of light hydrocarbons and refrigerants, and predicted values for vapor pressure, saturated vapor volume, saturated liquid volume and the heat of evaporation are compared with the corresponding experimental data. ...
