The aggregation features of the PEB- copolymers were examined as a function of Mw and polymer concentration by investigating fully protonated copolymers in d-decane over the temperature range between the single coil... 

Other than PEB-11, in addition to the low temperature power law behavior, a correlation peak evolves at aroimd Q = 0.025 A . For the intermediate temperature range (between 40 and 20 °C), a Q behavior at low Q appears. The low-Q Porod scattering indicates formation of large aggregates featuring a weU-defined surface, while its attenuation with decreasing tern-... 

It should be noted that the success of the segmentation can be sensitive to the contrast and brightness setup on the SEM. The contrast and brightness should not necessarily be pleasing to look at but must emphasise the contrast between aggregate features and maximise the use of the range of grey levels. 

A salient feature of natural surfaces is tliat tliey are overwhelmingly electron donors [133]. This is tlie basis for tlie ubiquitous hydrophilic repulsion which ensures tliat a cell can function, since massive protein-protein aggregation and protein-membrane adsorjition is tliereby prevented. In fact, for biomolecule interactions under typical physiological conditions, i.e. aqueous solutions of moderately high ionic strengtli, tlie donor-acceptor energy dominates. 

The resuspended and formulated Fraction II precipitate normally contains some aggregated IgG and trace substances that can cause hypotensive reactions in patients, such as the enzyme prekail ikrein activator (186). These features restrict this type of product to intramuscular adininistration. Further processing is required if products suitable for intravenous adininistration are required. Processes used for this purpose include treatment at pH 4 with the enzyme pepsin [9001-75-6] being added if necessary (131,184), or further purification by ion-exchange chromatography (44). These and other methods have been fiiUy reviewed (45,185,187,188). Intravenous immunoglobulin products are usually suppHed in the freeze-dried state but a product stable in the solution state is also available (189). 

Surface Area. The most important features influencing the performance of carbon blacks are aggregate size and surface area. Surface area is measured by gas- and Hquid-phase adsorption techniques, and depends on the amount of adsorbate required to form a surface monolayer. If the area occupied by a single-adsorbate molecule is known, a simple calculation will yield the surface area. A low temperature nitrogen absorption method, based on the original method of Bmnauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) (30), has been adopted by ASTM as standard method D3037-86 (2). 

Conqjutational methods can also be used to describe enolate stmcture. Most of the stmctural features of enolates are correctly modeled by B3LYP computations with dimethyl ether as the solvent molecule. Although semiempirical PM3 calculations give adequate representations of the geometries of the aggregates, the energy values are not accurate. 

One of the general features of the reactivity of enolate anions is the sensitivity of both the reaction rate and the ratio of C- versus O-alkylation to the degree of aggregation of the enolate. For example, addition of HMPA fiequently increases the rate of enolate alkylation...
