Abbreviations case sensitivity

Gaussian input is designed to be free-format and extremely flexible. For example, it is not case-sensitive, and keywords and options may be shortened to a unique abbreviation.

Pressure-sensitive adhesives are used in a great variety of applications, most commonly for adhesive tapes. In that case, they have to be tested by static shear test or dynamic shear test The difference between these two methods is that in static shear test a standard force is being applied to the test specimen and the adhesive failure is reported as the time it takes for failure to occur. The dynamic shear test involves a force being applied to the PSA tape at a specific rate of speed (typically 0.25 mm or 0.1 in. per minute). The value reported is as the peak force per unit area (Ib/in, also abbreviated as psi, and in SI units MPa) required to cause adhesive failure. The standards for adhesion shear tests are ASTM D3654, ISO EN 1943, and PSTC-107.i i ... 

The parent compounds and the metabolites have very low aqueous, solubility. They have proven difficult to extract from some matrices the current method for ivermectin involves some 41 concentration and clean-up steps preceding HPLC (8). A Merck method for recovering abamectin residues from strawberries and formation of fluorescent derivatives for HPLC analysis has 18 separate steps (9). A recently published two-step solid-phase recovery procedure for ivermectin from serum indicates that it is possible to combine an abbreviated concentration and cleanup method with a sensitive and specific detection system in this case, liquid chromatography (10). An immunoassay for avermectins that could be interfaced with simplified residue recovery protocols is a promising solution to the intensifying demands on regulatory agencies to monitor these compounds.
