POTENTIAL CONTACT AND INTRAOCULAR LENSES BASED ON HYDROPHILIC/HYDROPHOBIC SULFONATED SYNDIOTACTIC POLYSTYRENE MEMBRANES

Potential contact and intraocular lenses based on hydrophilic/hydrophobic sulfonated syndiotactic polystyrene membranes

Crystalline films of syndiotactic polystyrene (s-PS), a commercially available thermoplastic polymer, having a highly hydrophilic amorphous phase, were achieved by using a mild solid-state sulfonation procedure.Despite the used mild process conditions, an easy and uniform sulfonation of the phenyl rings of the amorphous phase is obtained.The crysta

Stress-Relieving Effects of Japanese Green Tea: Evaluation Using the Molar Ratio of Caffeine and Epigallocatechin Gallate to Theanine and Arginine as an Indicator

The major components of tea leaves and their infusions were analyzed for various types of green tea available in Japan in 2022.Almost all the green teas used were from the first crop, known for their high amino acid content.The amino acids theanine and arginine in green tea have been shown to reduce stress.On the other hand, epigallocatechin gallat

Non-parametric correlative uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis: Application to a Langmuir bimolecular adsorption model

We propose non-parametric methods for both local and global sensitivity analysis of chemical reaction models with correlated parameter dependencies.The developed mathematical and statistical tools are applied to a benchmark ORIGINAL BLEND COFFEE SUBSTITUT Langmuir competitive adsorption model on a close packed platinum surface, whose parameters, es
