Purpose/Rationale Good Practice in Sport Science and Medicine (SSM) delivery is clearly of interest importance, with both anecdotal insights developing empirical research focussing on the evaluation good practice delivery. Accordingly, to develop deeper understanding positive mechanisms SSM delivery, our aim was gain longitudinal insight from SMM practitioners (SSMPs) their experiences service ...

A palladium composite membrane was prepared via electroless plating technique using organic-inorganic method during activation process. The ceramic support surface was modified by two TiO2-boehmite and one γ-alumina layers to avoid Pd penetration in support pores. Thin and defect-free Pd composite membrane was obtained by creating a relative smoothness on the ceramic support and using Pd nanopa...

Here we present a method for prediction of HPLC retention times based on support vector regression. In contrast to existing prediction methods for DNA, our method takes the secondary structure of DNA into account. The method is also well suited for retention time prediction of peptides.
