A new unit operation is presented that utilizes a rapid feed pressure swing cycle in a bed packed with catalyst and adsorbent to effect both reaction and separation. This hybrid device combines features of a cyclic-steady-state ...

Bacteria are ubiquitous organisms that play a role in nearly every facet of life from health to the environment. A majority of bacteria live in synergistic communities but many of these bacteria have yet to be cultured ...

Novel reaction engineering designs, also referred to as interference techniques, have been shown to improve the yield of heavier hydrocarbons in Fischer-Tropsch (FT) product distributions. This dissertation explores two ...

The phosphoramidite approach has had a major impact on the synthesis of oligonucleotides. This unit describes parameters that affect the performance of this method for preparing oligodeoxyribonucleotides, as well as a ...

Stress-strain isotherms at a number of temperatures in the range 45-85[deg]C have been determined for a compressed, amorphous polyoxyethylene network swollen with a constant amount of non-volatile diluent. The observed ...

The potentially bidentate fluorophosphine ligand F2PSPF2 can be prepared in 75% yield from the reaction of F2PBr and [(C4H9)3Sn]2S. On the basis of infrared and Raman spectra, the compound has been assigned a bent confirmation ...

Ion implantation has become a highly developed tool for modifying the structure and properties of metals and alloys. In addition to direct implantation, a variety of other ion beam techniques such as ion beam mixing, ion ...

We demonstrate spatially controlled photoreactions within bicompartmental microparticles and microfibers. Selective photoreactions are achieved by anisotropic incorporation of photocrosslinkable poly(vinyl cinnamate) in ...
