20 new poly(ester-imide)s and poly(imide-urethane)s structures were synthesized using low temperature solution condensation polymerization. These compounds were optically active, capable of emitting circularly polarized light. The results indicated that the efficiency of the compounds much higher under this synthesis method. Cost effectiveness and short process were other advantages of this syn...

This paper aims to numerically assess the effects of electrolyte properties and electrode morphology on the capacitance of electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) made of mesoporous electrodes consisting of ordered cylindrical pores in non-aqueous electrolytes. Simulations solved a three-dimensional modified Poisson-Boltzmann model. They accounted for the finite size of ions and field-dependen...

The gravimetric uterotrophic assay is currently the most well-established, short-term rodent estrogenicity assay. Increasing attention is being paid to the extent to which use of morphometric or molecular changes in the uterus could act as surrogates for the gravimetric end point of the assay, thereby perhaps increasing the sensitivity of the assay. In this paper I discuss the available data, p...

QUANTITATIVE determinations of serum and urinary proteins are of considerable clinical importance; that such estimations are made relatively infrequently is probably due to the lack of a simple yet trustworthy technique. The methods of Esbach and Aufrecht are notoriously crude, while the gravimetric and the Kjeldahl methods are too laborious for ordinary clinical purposes. Of the colorimetric p...

In this study, confocal Raman microspectroscopy was used to detect lipids in microalgae rapidly and non-destructively. Microalgae cells were cultured under nitrogen deficiency. The accumulation of lipids in Scenedesmus obliquus was observed by Nile red staining, and the total amount of lipids accumulated in the cells was measured by gravimetric method. The signals from different microalgae cell...

The estimation of silica in animal organs by the gravimetric method is attended with considerable difficulty. Large amounts of tissue are necessary, and ashing by the method of Stolte (I), or even with the aid of an electric muffle furnace is a tedious process requiring several hours for completion. Analysis of the ash for silica in the conventional way also takes considerable time, so that an ...

Microvascular permeability to water is characterized by the microvascular filtration coefficient (K(f)). Conventional gravimetric techniques to estimate K(f) rely on data obtained from either transient or steady-state increases in organ weight in response to increases in microvascular pressure. Both techniques result in considerably different estimates and neither account for interstitial fluid...

Currently available methods for the measurement of spontaneous activity of laboratory animals require expensive, specialized equipment and may not be suitable for use in low light conditions with nocturnal species. We developed a gravimetric method that uses common laboratory equipment to quantify the total spontaneous activity of rats and is suitable for use in the dark. The rat in its home ca...

Hydrogen storage capacities have been studied on newly designed three-dimensional pillared boron nitride (PBN) and pillared graphene boron nitride (PGBN). We propose these novel materials based on the covalent connection of BNNTs and graphene sheets, which enhance the surface and free volume for storage within the nanomaterial and increase the gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen uptake capaciti...
