Modification of the cellulosic component of hemp fibers using sulfonic acid derivatives: Surface and thermal characterization.

Carbohydr. Polym. 134 , 230-9, (2015)

The aim of this study was to characterize the surface, morphological, and thermal properties of hemp fibers treated with two commercially available, inexpensive, and water soluble sulfonic acid derivatives. Specifically, the cellulosic component of the fibers...

Toxic impact of bromide and iodide on drinking water disinfected with chlorine or chloramines.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 48(20) , 12362-9, (2014)

Disinfectants inactivate pathogens in source water; however, they also react with organic matter and bromide/iodide to form disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Although only a few DBP classes have been systematically analyzed for toxicity, iodinated and brominate...

Optimization of chemical and instrumental parameters in hydride generation laser-induced breakdown spectrometry for the determination of arsenic, antimony, lead and germanium in aqueous samples.

Anal. Chim. Acta 770 , 7-17, (2013)

A laser induced breakdown spectrometry hyphenated with on-line continuous flow hydride generation sample introduction system, HG-LIBS, has been used for the determination of arsenic, antimony, lead and germanium in aqueous environments. Optimum chemical and i...

Feasibility of asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation coupled to ICP-MS for the characterization of wear metal particles and metalloproteins in biofluids from hip replacement patients.

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 407 , 4541-54, (2015)

Hip replacements are used to improve the quality of life of people with orthopaedic conditions, but the use of metal-on-metal (MoM) arthroplasty has led to poor outcomes for some patients. These problems are related to the generation of micro- to nanosized me...

Effect of granule size on the properties of lotus rhizome C-type starch.

Carbohydr. Polym. 134 , 448-57, (2015)

Lotus rhizome C-type starch was separated into different size fractions. Starch morphologies changed from irregular to elongated, ellipsoid, oval, and spherical with decreasing granule size. The small- and very-small-sized fractions had a centric hilum, and t...

Preparation and characterizations of EGDE crosslinked chitosan electrospun membranes.

Clin. Hemorheol. Microcirc. 60 , 39-50, (2015)

Composite Crosslinked nanofibrous membranes of chitosan, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) and polyethylene oxide was successfully prepared with bead free morphology via electrospinning technique followed by heat mediated chemical crosslinking. Architec...

Effect of ultra-high pressure homogenization on the interaction between bovine casein micelles and ritonavir.

Pharm. Res. 32(3) , 1055-71, (2015)

The aim of this work was to develop a milk-based powder formulation appropriate for pediatric delivery of ritonavir (RIT).Ultra-high pressure homogenization (UHPH) at 0.1, 300 and 500 MPa was used to process a dispersion of pasteurized skim milk (SM) and rito...

Method validation and proficiency testing for determination of total arsenic in apple juice by inductively coupled plasma/ mass spectrometry.

J. AOAC Int. 97(4) , 1143-50, (2014)

A proficiency test (PT) program for determination of total As in apple juice samples was conducted by the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) laboratories. An analytical method using inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS was validated for this project. The L...

The impact of weakly bound ⁸⁹Zr on preclinical studies: non-specific accumulation in solid tumors and aspergillus infection.

Nucl. Med. Biol. 42(4) , 360-8, (2015)

Preclinical studies involving (89)Zr often report significant bone accumulation, which is associated with dissociation of the radiometal from the tracer. However, experiments determining the uptake of unbound (89)Zr in disease models are not performed as rout...

Magnetic structures and physical properties of Tm3Cu4Ge4 and Tm3Cu4Sn4.

J. Phys. Condens. Matter 25(6) , 066012, (2013)

Tm(3)Cu(4)Ge(4) crystallizes in the orthorhombic Gd(3)Cu(4)Ge(4)-type crystal structure (space group Immm) whereas Tm(3)Cu(4)Sn(4) crystallizes in a distorted variant of this structure (monoclinic space group C2/m). The compounds were studied by means of neut...
