Hydrolysis of silicone polymers in aqueous systems
(2001)
Silicon-29 and 'H NMR spectroscopy were used to investigate the hydrolysis
of methyl silicones in a variety of aqueous environments. Dilute acid, dilute base and
one or more of the dissolved constituents of blood plasma ...
Reactivity and mechanistic study of the Sonogashira coupling and Grignard-Sonogashira coupling reactions
(2002)
The interest in studying enediyne systems was stimulated by the discovery of anti-cancer
agents containing enediyne functionalities, such as esperamicin and dynemicin. These
compounds have potential for use as anti-tumour ...
Speciation of aqueous hypercoordinated organosilicate complexes / by Jiali Wen.
(2007, c 20)
Aqueous silicon chemistry plays a major and as yet unappreciated role in many fields of science. Emerging technologies such as the fabrication of biomimetic ceramics require a thorough understanding of all factors affecting ...
Synthesis of alginate neoglycolipids / by Rongsong Xu.
(2007)
Innate immunity, one of two arms of the immune system, can provide more rapid defense mechanisms than adaptive immunity in human immune defense systems. The innate immune system recognizes invading pathogens by binding a ...
Study of heteroaromatic enediyne and substituted benzothiophene synthesis with a study of unusual H NMR signals in neomenthyl halides
(2004)
The synthesis of a number of heteroaromatic enediynes has been examined using
the Sonogashira coupling reaction. Alkynes were coupled to 2,3-dibromothiophene to
yield a number o f hetero- and homo-disubstituted enediynes. ...
Synthesis and reactivity of enediynes
(2004)
The discovery of a class natural products with anti-cancer properties, the enediynes, has
stimulated interest in their research. Due to their cytotoxicity, these compounds are not feasible
for use in cancer treatment, ...
Investigation of the molecular basis for silicon biofunctionality
(2004)
Despite advances in our understanding of the beneficial role of silicon in the
biosphere, surprisingly little is known of the molecular mechanism by which silicon is
absorbed, transported, accumulated and deposited by ...
Study of the effect of gamma irradiation on cellular metabolism by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
(2005)
The phenomenon of NMR plays an important role in a number of different
scientific and medical fields. Nuclear magnetic resonance has the ability to detect
changes in tumour, and cell metabolism caused by both chemotherapy ...
Synthesis and electrochemical study of Pt- and IrO2-based nanostructured materials
(2006)
With ever increasing awareness that our environment is being ravaged at an alarming rate and the very seriously high rate of diabetes, there has been much research into understanding, controlling and reversing these ...
Electrochemical oscillations during the anodic oxidation of sulfide
(2005)
Sulfide is most often encountered as a waste product of the pulp and paper,
petroleum, and mining industries. Organic decomposition is another major source of
sulfide. During my M. Sc. program, I have studied electrochemical ...
