Thermal analysis was used to investigate the following seven
systems: H₂S-B₂F₄, SOF₂-B₂F₄, COC1₂-B₂F₄, SF₄-B₂F₄, Xe-BF₃, NF₃-BF₃, and NF₃-BC1₃. In two of the seven systems
compound formation was observed.
In the system, H₂S-B₂F₄ the compounds H₂S[superscript .]B₂F₄ and
2H₂S[superscript .]B₂F₄ are formed. The compound H₂S[superscript .]B₂F₄ has a melting
point of...
A heat stable derivative of bovine serum albumin containing
300 residues of glycine added to 30 sites on the surface of the protein
has been prepared. This derivative may be heated to 100° C for
prolonged periods of time without aggregation. By comparison,
native BSA aggregates at 62° C under...
Verrucarol is the sesquiterpene portion of a number of macrocyclic di- and triesters of potential medicinal importance. In this study, a novel approach to the synthesis of this fungal metabolite is presented. An A-B-C route was investigated in which C-3 and C-4 of the C-ring were emplaced using a [2+2]...
Instrumental and radiochemical neutron activation analyses supported by electron microprobe mineral analyses (Paul Warren, University of New Mexico) and petrographic observations are presented for approximately forty individual clasts separated from the Kapoeta howardite. These clasts are classified into eucritic, cumulate-like, mafic (plagioclase ± olivine-bearing pyroxenites), pyroxenite, polymict and/or metal-rich and...
It is the responsibility of humans, as environmental stewards, to monitor our impact on the environment so that efforts can be made to remediate the effects of our actions and change behaviors. To better understand our environmental footprint, sensitive and simple analytical methods are needed to quantify the contaminants that...
