Surface acoustic wave sensing of linear alcohols using para-acylcalix[n]arenes.

para-Hexanoylcalix[4, 6 or 8]arenes have been used as surface acoustic wave sensor capture layers showing a high efficiency for the detection of linear alcohols, with high reproducibility and rapid response times.

Low molecular weight gelator-dextran composites.

Incorporation of dextran into a hydrogel formed using a low molecular weight dipeptide-conjugate gelator results in controlled modification of the material properties.

Effect of molecular structure on the properties of naphthalene-dipeptide hydrogelators.

Dipeptide-conjugates can be efficient low molecular weight hydrogelators. However, the effective design of a gelator for a specific application is compromised by the lack of a clear understanding of the design rules that govern assembly and hence gelation. Here, we report a library of naphthalene-dipeptides, their physical chemical properties, and gelation ability.

Energy transfer in self-assembled dipeptide hydrogels.

Energy transfer between a naphthalene-dipeptide and either a hosted dansyl acceptor or a co-assembling anthracene-dipeptide acceptor occurs on formation of a hydrogel by decreasing the pH.

Eagle' syndrome. Anatomy of the styloid process.

The observations made on the angulations and the length of styloid processes from a hundred skulls are presented. Morphometrical data compiled is correlated to those available in literature. The dimension and angularity of the process when in extreme is known to produce symptoms classified as Eagle's syndrome.
