Electrogenerated PPy doped with pSA was used as a substrate for immobilization of GOD. This was achieved via covalent bonding of carboxyl groups of the main chain of alginate with amino groups of the enzyme. The pH-induced aggregation behavior of SA in aqueous solution was employed to provide optimum conditions for electrochemical preparation of PPy by galvanostatic methods. GOD was attached to...

Analyses of attachment bonds between infants and caregivers have been extended to attachments between roman...

The doctrine of divine simplicity is at the center of Thomas's natural theology, since it is essentially involved in his attempt to show that the First Cause that he has proved to exist in the Five Ways ha...
