Analysis of volatile organic compounds released from the decay of surrogate human models simulating victims of collapsed buildings by thermal desorption-comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry
(2015)
Field experiments were devised to mimic the entrapment conditions under the rubble of collapsed buildings aiming to investigate the evolution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the early dead body decomposition ...
Trace detection of endogenous human volatile organic compounds for search, rescue and emergency applications
(2015)
Since Pauling's paper in the 1970s, interest has increased in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from different bio-fluids, such as blood and urine. A number of VOCs reflect internal biochemical pathways occurring ...
Enamine-Based Hydrophilic Dynamic Covalent Polymer Networks: Effects of pH, and Copolymer Composition and Concentration on the Aqueous Swelling Degrees and the Gel Formation Times
(2015)
In this work, we explore the formation in water of dynamic covalent polymer networks cross-linked via enamine groups. The polymer networks resulted from the combination of pairs of chemically complementary hydrophilic ...
Tetraphenylhexaazaanthracenes: 16π Weakly Antiaromatic Species with Singlet Ground States
(2015)
Tetraphenylhexaazaanthracene, TPHA-1, is a fluorescent zwitterionic biscyanine with a closed-shell singlet ground state. TPHA-1 overcomes its weak 16π antiaromaticity by partitioning its π system into 6π positive and 10π ...
Development of a Reliable Analytical Protocol for the Isolation of Cholesterol Oxidation Products—a Comparison of Different Lipid Extraction and Saponification Methods
(2015)
The main objectives of this study were (i) the optimization and the validation of a high performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of seven cholesterol oxidation products (COPs), (ii) the ...

Simplified determination of uranium in contaminated sea sand samples by alpha-spectroscopy after acidic desorption and liquid–liquid extraction
(2015)
For the determination of uranium in contaminated sea sand samples by alpha-spectroscopy, we have investigated the applicability of different pre-analytical procedures. The direct electrodeposition after acidic dissolution ...
ABC Triblock Terpolymers with Orthogonally Deprotectable Blocks: Synthesis, Characterization, and Deprotection
(2015)
The development and availability of new protecting groups are vital for all branches of synthetic chemistry. Equally vital is the facile and selective removal of these groups, leaving intact other protecting groups which ...
Breath and sweat analysis as a tool for medical diagnostics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
A wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is continuously produced in the human body and released through breath and sweat, thereby revealing important medical information. The variety of the analytical ...
