Recently, it has been reported that n-alkanes are principal components of diesel exhaust nanoparticles. We investigated the effects of n-alkanes on the surface activity of a pulmonary surfactant monolayer using both fresh surfactant isolated from mouse lungs, and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC)

Existing encapsulated organic phase change materials (PCM) usually contain a shell material that possesses a poor heat storage capacity and so results in a lowered latent heat storage density of the encapsulated PCM compared to unencapsulated PCM. Here, we demonstrate

The effect of cholesterol on myelin basic protein-induced aggregation of zwitterionic phospholipid vesicles was studied by turbidimetry, quasi-elastic light scattering and centrifugation techniques. Without cholesterol, the degree of vesicle aggregation caused by myelin basic protein is relatively low and is

The analysis of cocaine base is a major part of the forensic drug chemist's workload. Simplifying quantitative methodology can assist the drug chemist. Methods currently employed for quantitation of cocaine base utilize either an internal standard or a direct comparison.

We use nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structural properties of an oriented melt of n-eicosane under steady-state planar elongational flow. The flow-induced structure was evaluated using the structure factor s(k) taken as the Fourier transform of the total
