Development, Characterization And Application Of Chiral Stationary Phases
Cyclofructans are cyclic oligosaccharides consisting of a crown ether core with pendent fructofuranose units. These unique macrocycles were reported recently to be powerful chiral selectors. Native cyclofructans show little ... -
Development, Evaluation And Application Of Cyclofructans As Separation Agents
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2013-10-23)Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is now considered as a viable and established analytical tool for the separation of very polar and hydrophilic compounds, which are not sufficiently retained under Reversed ... -
DEVELOPMENT, EVALUATION, AND APPLICATION OF CHROMATOGRAPHIC RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT STRATEGIES
(2019-11-15)With the emergence of advanced separation technologies, like high-efficiency stationary phases bonded with superficially porous particles, or sub-2 μm fully porous particles, faster and more effective methodologies are ... -
Development, Reliability, Validity, And Utility Of The Fear-avoidance Components Scale (FACS) In A Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain Disorder (CMPD) Population
Fear-avoidance (FA) is a negative coping style where patients avoid physical and social activities out of fear that their pain may increase or that they may re-injure themselves. Although fear-avoidance often increases in ... -
Development, Testing and Characterization of Electronic Skins for Robots
(2015-12-09)The main purpose of this thesis is to test and characterize newly developed pressure sensors integrated into robot skin and understand their behavior for different testing parameters such as sensor and skin materials and ... -
Develpoment Of An Electronically Controlled Cold Plasma Reformer For Hydrogen Harvest From Bio-fuels
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-11-01)The energy demand on the world market due to the limited resources has forced governments and scientists to find an alternative source of fuel to ease the burden on its populous and environment. Moreover, the rate of global ... -
