The solvation properties of solvents (solvent effects) depend mainly on their polarity/polarizability (accounting also for dispersion interactions), hydrogen bond donation and acceptance abilities, and cohesive energy density, that are orthogonal to each other. These are best measured by the Kamlet-Taft...
3). On the other hand, absorption occurs when sorbate molecules are partitioned into sorbent matrix and are retained by weak vdW forces. Adsorption is the dominant process when the concentration of the contaminant is low, as is the case of sea and freshwaters. However, at high contaminant ...
Atmospheric organic aerosol (OA) are considered as a significant contributor to the light absorption of OA, but its relationship with abundance, composition and sources are not understood well. In this study, the abundance, chemical structural characteri
Our study concerns the cytotoxic activity of low-polarity fractions (lipid) of fruit (OL), leaves (LL) and twigs (GL) on selected human cells (in vitro), using a broad spectrum of tumor lines, with different tissue origin as well as normal cells. Based on our earlier results, the ...

Protein endogenous tryptophan fluorescence intensity and maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) are very sensitive to the polarity of its surrounding micro-environment and can be used to monitor the changes in protein conformation (Cao, True, Chen, & Xiong, 2016). As shown in Fig. 1, the maximum...
2018). This facilitates adsorption of the biological molecules onto the polymer support to obtain the surface of defined polarity as well as the increased biocompatibility. Fig. 2 Structure of cyclosporine A—CsA (a) and cholesterol—Chol (b) Full size image The main goal of this paper was ...
The Influence of Aliphatic Spacers Posititon on the Polarity and Dielectric Properties of Liquid Crystalline MoleculesFor liquid crystals with the polar CN-end-group and variation of aliphatic spacer position, the dipole moments and Kerr effect in solutions as well as the dielectric permitivity in ...
The knowledge of minority and majority charge carrier properties enables controlling the performance of solar cells, transistors, detectors, sensors, and LEDs. Here, we developed the constant light induced magneto transport method which resolves electron
Cultured meat is emerging as a new type of food that can provide animal protein in a sustainable way. Many previous studies employed various types of scaffolds to develop cultured meat with similar properties to slaughtered meat. However, important prope
