• Researchers pinpoint how trees play role in smog production

  After years of scientific uncertainty and speculation, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill show exactly how trees help create one of society's predominant environmental and health concerns: air pollution. It has long been known that trees produce and emit isoprene, an abun more

• Measuring the magnetism of antimatter

  In a breakthrough that could one day yield important clues about the nature of matter itself, a team of Harvard scientists have succeeding in measuring the magnetic charge of single particles of matter and antimatter more accurately than ever before. As described in a paper in Physical Review Letter more

• Topological transitions in metamaterials

  The ability to control the flow of electrons using engineered materials is fundamental to the information technology revolution, yet many properties of matter are still unclear. Now a University of Alberta researcher is closer to understanding some of the exotic electronic properties in matter using more

• Measurement of Nano particles and Proteins
  

  Colloid emulsions in their native environment require particle size determination in high concentration since there are concerns about changes in sample morphology upon dilution eg break up of aggregates. For proteins and other samples with very low concentration and for weakly scattering samples high sensitivity is required. New technologies offer both. more

• Sum parameters "on trail"
  

  Identification of organic pollutants in wastewater is essential for performance evaluation, construction and operation of a wastewater treatment plant. Several parameters are currently used in wastewater analysis applications. The advantages of TOC analyses are apparent especially during continuous monitoring more

• Chemometric Spectroscopy
  

  Chemometric Spectroscopy is the term used to describe the direct combination of a spectroscopic measurement with a chemometric data evaluation procedure, typically a multivariate statistic method, so providing quick and reliable deduction of the qualitative and quantitative properties of a sample from its spectrum. A multi-linear regression (MLR) or partial least squares (PLS) regression is usually used for the quantitative determination of individual or combined parameters, while substance identification generally relies on techniques such as discriminant or cluster analysis. more

• Diffusion mechanisms in smectic ionic liquid crystals: insights from coarse-grained MD simulations

  We present the results of MD simulations, using a coarse grained force field, concerning the mechanism of diffusion in ionic liquid crystals. The dynamical properties of the recently characterized (G. Saielli, Soft Matter, 2012, 8, 10279) model system of 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate in th more

• Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Carbon Monoxide Exposure: Accidental Association or Fatal Link?

  Abstract This case study reports a fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with concomitant accidental carbon monoxide (CO) exposure in 32‐year‐old man. Autopsy results indicated an antemortem aspiration of smoke, and a massive SAH was identified as the cause of death. Intriguingly, the carboxyhemog more

• Vitamin D: beyond bone

  In recent years, vitamin D has been received increased attention due to the resurgence of vitamin D deficiency and rickets in developed countries and the identification of extraskeletal effects of vitamin D, suggesting unexpected benefits of vitamin D in health and disease, beyond bone health. The more

  China plastic board, tube and proximate matter manufacturing Industry, 2011 is valuable for anyone who wants to invest in the plastic board, tube and proximate matter manufacturing industry, to get Chinese investments; to import into China or export from China, to build factories and take advantage more

• Top Ten Trends in the Petrochemical Industry in 2011

  GBI's Research Report, "Top Ten Trends in the Petrochemical Industry in 2011" provides an in depth analysis on the trends prevailing in the Petrochemical Industry. The report discusses the worldwide petrochemical industry, emergence of Middle East and their production outlook , growth of Asia as a r more

• China Glyphosate Industry Report, 2007-2008

  Pesticide mainly consists of three categories: herbicide, insecticide and bactericide. In China, the most general pesticide we currently use is insecticide which occupies nearly 50% of the total use in pesticide. That totally differs from the international situation that the herbicide's use occupies more
