Electrifying Fruit Juice: Integrating Applied Electroanalytical Chemistry into the Undergraduate Curriculum.

Electroanalytical chemistry has been advanced through portable devices, providing methods and sensors for the detection of analytes with high sensitivity and accuracy. This subfield of electrochemistry has the potential to be utilized in industry and analytical quality control, in general. This results in an increasing demand for trained personnel, capable of operating benchtop and portable electroanalytical equipment.

Histology of the whole body of honey bees: tissue fixation and processing.

Beekeeping plays a crucial role in biodiversity, pollination, commercial farming, and the worldwide agricultural economy. Histopathology, which is an important tool for the investigation of diseases in vertebrates, is not commonly used in honey bees (). However, histopathology could potentially help the diagnostic investigation of high mortality in bees.

LiNbO -Type Polar Antiferromagnet InVO Synthesized under High-Pressure Conditions.

The ambient pressure cation disordered InVO bixbyite has been predicted to form a GdFeO -type perovskite phase under high pressure and high temperature. Contrary to the expectation, InVO was found to crystallize in the polar LiNbO -type structure with a calculated spontaneous polarization as large as 74 μC cm . Antiferromagnetic coupling of V magnetic moments and a cooperative magnetic ground state below about 10 K coupled with a polar structure suggest an intriguing ground state of the novel LiNbO -type high-pressure InVO structure.

Lack of authentic atrial fibrillation in commonly used murine atrial fibrillation models.

The mouse is a useful preclinical species for evaluating disease etiology due to the availability of a wide variety of genetically modified strains and the ability to perform disease-modifying manipulations. In order to establish an atrial filtration (AF) model in our laboratory, we profiled several commonly used murine AF models. We initially evaluated a pharmacological model of acute carbachol (CCh) treatment plus atrial burst pacing in C57BL/6 mice.

The Highly Frustrated 5d Double Perovskite Doppelgängers, SrLaMgReO and SrLaLiOsO. A Comparison including Isostructural LaLiReO.

The synthesis and characterization of the double perovskite SrLaLiOsO is presented. It is isostructural (2/) and isoelectronic (5d) with SrLaMgReO, which has been reported previously. The cell volumes are the same to within 1.
