Computer simulations and scale model drop tests are performed to evaluate the splashdown loads of a capsule in nonaqueous liquids, in anticipation of the descent of the ESA Huygens probe on Saturn's moon Titan which may have lakes and seas of liquid hydrocarbons. Deceleration profiles in liquids of low and high viscosity are explored, and how the deceleration record may be inverted to recover f...

Aqueous solubility is often a limiting factor in any concentration-dependent process and n-octanol/water partition coefficient, usually expressed as log P, is equilibrium between surrogate of nonaqueous biophases and water phase. The aqueous solubility of seven liquid monoterpenes: (+/-)-beta-citronellol, (+/-)-linalool, linalyl acetate, (-)-alpha-pinene, (-)-beta-pinene, eucalyptol and terpine...

Synthetic and analytical approaches were used to characterize the tumor-localizing components of the porphyrin preparation, hematoporphyrin derivative. From studies involving aqueous and nonaqueous gel exclusion and reverse-phase chromatography, we conclude that localization is mediated by hematoporphyrin derivative components which are among the most hydrophobic in the preparation. This appare...

Azobenzene (azoB) is a promising anode active material for nonaqueous redox flow battery (NARFB), but the performance assembled with azoB rather poor. Here, we show that rate of NARFB and 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1-methoxy-4-[2?-methoxyethoxy] benzene (DBMMB) as anolyte catholyte materials can be significantly enhanced by optimizing solvent, supporting electrolyte, membrane. The synergistic interactio...
