Amino-Alkylphosphonate-Grafted TiO: How the Alkyl Chain Length Impacts the Surface Properties and the Adsorption Efficiency for Pd.

Amino-alkylphosphonic acid-grafted TiO materials are of increasing interest in a variety of applications such as metal sorption, heterogeneous catalysis, CO capture, and enzyme immobilization. To date, systematic insights into the synthesis-properties-performance correlation are missing for such materials, albeit giving important know-how towards their applicability and limitations. In this work, the impact of the chain length and modification conditions (concentration and temperature) of amino-alkylphosphonic acid-grafted TiO on the surface properties and adsorption performance of palladium is studied.

A high proportion of red snapper sold in North Carolina is mislabeled.

Seafood mislabeling occurs when a market label is inaccurate, primarily in terms of species identity, but also regarding weight, geographic origin, or other characteristics. This widespread problem allows cheaper or illegally-caught species to be marketed as species desirable to consumers. Previous studies have identified red snapper () as one of the most frequently mislabeled seafood species in the United States.

Trunk and hip muscle activity in early walkers with and without cerebral palsy--a frequency analysis.

Poor control of postural muscles is a primary impairment in cerebral palsy (CP), yet core trunk and hip muscle activity has not been thoroughly investigated. Frequency analysis of electromyographic (EMG) signals provides insight about the intensity and pattern of muscle activation, correlates with functional measures in CP, and is sensitive to change after intervention. The objective of this study was to investigate differences in trunk and hip muscle activation frequency in children with CP compared to children with similar amounts of walking experience and typical development (TD).

Trunk and hip muscle activation patterns are different during walking in young children with and without cerebral palsy.

Background: Poor control of postural muscles is a primary impairment in people with cerebral palsy (CP).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in the timing characteristics of trunk and hip muscle activity during walking in young children with CP compared with children with typical development (TD).

Methods: Thirty-one children (16 with TD, 15 with CP) with an average of 28.

Variability and symmetry of gait in early walkers with and without bilateral cerebral palsy.

Purpose: Investigating gait characteristics during the early stages of walking in CP may contribute to the understanding of the development of impaired gait. The objective of this study was to investigate differences in the variability and symmetry of spatiotemporal gait characteristics during the early years of walking in children with bilateral spastic CP compared to children with similar amounts of walking experience and typical development (TD).

Methods: The spatiotemporal gait parameters of 31 children (15 with spastic CP, 16 with TD) who had an average of 28.
