The ‘capture’ of proteins by small molecules via irreversible cross-linking mediated by photo-irradiation is of interest in the field of proteomics (for reviews see ref. 1). The technique has the potential for profiling ...

1-(m-Chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP) has a fairly complex neuropsychopharmacological profile owing to its affinity to multiple serotonergic receptors. This investigation was designed to establish the effect of mCPP on rodent ...

A solid-state vapor sensor in parallel electrode configuration was fabricated by employing 1-D TiO 2 nanorods as a sensing layer. Highly ordered and oriented TiO 2 nanorods were synthesized on a Ti substrate by using ...

In this paper, we investigate the quality of MOSFET gate stacks where high- k materials are implemented as gate dielectrics. We evaluate both drain- and gate-current noises in order to obtain information about the defect ...

An experimental set-up involving a combination of reverse electrochemical etching and the floating-layer technique of tip preparation is presented. In the model only dc bias is used, avoiding the shortcomings of ac bias. ...

The ultrathin films of nanomaterials provide remarkable features that can be potentially employed for efficient device fabrication. In this chapter, an overview of ultrathin films of nanomaterials at different interfaces, ...

The hydrogen donor molecules phenol and 4-fluorophenol form 1:1 complexes with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl in solution in carbon tetrachloride. The formation constants of both complexes have been obtained over a ...

We report a one-step approach for the conversion of β-enaminonitriles to synthetically versatile α-keto amides in moderate to high yields under visible light irradiation photosensitized by porphyrins. The method is mild, ...

Designing grafted biodegradable polymers with tailored multi-functional properties is one of the most researched fields with extensive biomedical applications. Among many biodegradable polymers, polycarbonates have gained ...
