Time-resolved rheology as a tool to monitor the progress of polymer degradation in the melt state – Part II: Thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation…
2015
Abstract Thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of nanocomposites based on polyamide 11 (PA11) and organo-modified clay (Cloisite® 30B) are studied in the melt state (T = 215 °C) via time-resolved mechanical spectroscopy (TRMS). The goal is assessing the potentiality of rheological analysis for studying polymer degradation in complex systems such as polymer nanocomposites, whose rheological response stems from the combination of the contributions of polymer and nanoparticles. We prove that a thorough analysis grounded on TRMS allows to isolate the effect of degradation of the polymer matrix, whose progress can be hence profitably monitored. Essentially the same degradation mechanisms as i…

Electrophoretic pattern of the polypeptide component in the tight DNA-protein complexes in rat and chicken tissues and its partial characterisation in rat liverTightly bound to DNA proteins (TBP) are a protein group that remain attached to DNA with covalent or non-covalent bonds after its deproteinisation. The distribution of TBP in genes reflects the type of cell differentiation. It has been hypothesised that TBP binding is involved in regulation of gene expression. Early studies reported uniformity of the TBPs from different sources. Later it was shown that TBPs obtained from DNA, isolated in mild conditions from evolutionary distant species, are different. Application of chloroform DNA e…
Reactions Occurring during the Melt Mixing of Nylon 6 and Oxazoline−Cyclophosphazene Units
2009
Specific reactions of amino and carboxyl end groups of Nylon 6 with the reactive oxazoline groups belonging to a cyclophosphazene compound (referred as CP20XA) were carried out at 240 °C for different times, under inert atmosphere. Ny6 polymers terminated with one specific reactive chain end (-COOH or NH2) were reacted with different amounts of CP20XA to study the kinetic order of the reactions. All Ny6-CP20XA reacted products soluble in trifluoroethanol (TFE) were well characterized by MALDI-TOF MS, FT-IR and ( 1H and 13C) NMR techniques. The MALDI-TOF results show that the oxazoline rings react with the carboxyl chain ends of Ny6 following second-order kinetics. The reactions with amino c…

Nuevas aplicaciones del sistema MALDI-TOF MS en la Microbiología Clínica
2022
La espectrometría de masas es una técnica de determinación estructural que permite estudiar la distribución de las moléculas de una sustancia en función de su masa. Un espectro de masas es una relación de las especies iónicas presentes en una muestra, expresadas en función de su masa/carga (m/z) y la abundancia relativa (intensidad) de cada una en la muestra. La espectrometría de masas fue utilizada históricamente como una técnica analítica de la química clínica, pero no fue hasta hace tres décadas con la aparición de las técnicas de “ionización suave” cuando se consiguió analizar biomoléculas de gran tamaño utilizando un láser como fuente de ionización y una matriz orgánica para facilitar …
Legionella pneumophila identifikācija, izmantojot MALDI-TOF MS un SBT metodes
2016
Legionella pneumophila identifikācijai un subtipēšanai tika pielietotas divas metodes – MALDI-TOF MS un SBT. Tika izmantoti 22 no ūdens izolēti ZI ”BIOR” Legionella pneumophila celmi. Ar lateksa aglutinācijas metodi tika noteiktas izmantojamās Legionella pneumophila serogrupas – 1, 2, 3 un 6. MALDI-TOF MS ekstrakcijas metode nodrošināja 100 % identifikāciju visiem Legionella pneumophila izolātiem. Pēc 17 iegūtajiem masas spektra signāliem celmi tika efektīvi subtipēti. Ar SBT metodi celmiem tika iegūti alēļu profili un sekvences tipa numuri, kopumā 15 dažādi Legionella pneumophila ST, no kuriem divi – ST2191 un ST2192 iepriekš nebija iekļauti starptautiskajā ESGLI datubāzē. Abu metožu iegūt…

Influence of a Thiolate Chemical Layer on GaAs (100) Biofunctionalization: An Original Approach Coupling Atomic Force Microscopy and Mass Spectrometr…
2013
International audience; Widely used in microelectronics and optoelectronics; Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is a III-V crystal with several interesting properties for microsystem and biosensor applications. Among these; its piezoelectric properties and the ability to directly biofunctionalize the bare surface, offer an opportunity to combine a highly sensitive transducer with a specific bio-interface; which are the two essential parts of a biosensor. To optimize the biorecognition part; it is necessary to control protein coverage and the binding affinity of the protein layer on the GaAs surface. In this paper; we investigate the potential of a specific chemical interface composed of thiolate molec…
Legionella pneumophila izplatība un sekvenču tipu daudzveidība Latvijas viesnīcu ūdensapgādes sistēmās
2018
Legionella pneumophila ir nosacīti patogēna, dabiskās un mākslīgi radītās saldūdens ūdenskrātuvēs sastopama baktērija, kas spēj izraisīt infekcijas slimību – legionelozi. Lai noskaidrotu L. pneumophila izplatību Latvijā, no 40 viesnīcu ūdensapgādes sistēmām noņemti 240 karstā ūdens paraugi un testēti uz L. pneumophila klātbūtni. No pētījumā iesaistītajām viesnīcām 25 (65 %) viesnīcās konstatēts vismaz viens Legionella pozitīvs paraugs. Maksimālais L. pneumophila koloniju veidojošo vienību skaits vienā paraugā bija 1,1 x 104 kvv/l. Ar MALDI-TOF MS apstiprināti 99 L. pneumophila un 9 L. rubrilucens izolāti. Pārstāvētākā no serogrupām bija L. pneumophila serogrupa 3 (68 izolāti). Izmantojot SB…
