The former makes diamond a p-type semi-conductor or a conductor depending on the boron doping
Page 29. Intriguingly, temperature has different effects on the position of peak potential for these two
redox mediators. Spectral data for the optically active ester and a -c h lo ro h y d r in were identical
to those for the racemic com pounds. The development of the new elemental B source enabled the
author to grow the first successful p-type atomic layer (delta) doped epilayers. Only the central
portion of this charge becomes molten as it sits in a water cooled copper hearth. The overall reaction
rate of the electrochemical reaction is determined by whichever is the slowest step in the process.
Page 39. The presence of N 1s signal, at 400.8 eV, further confirms the successful grafting of t- BOC
protected amine alkene molecule (consists of C-N- bond structure, Figure 6.21c) on the diamond
surface. Page 220. These form donors and acceptors respectively, which will change the carrier
concentration and thus have a strong effect on the material’s electrical properties, and are the cause
of the residual doping level. This gives useful information since the electron emission rate, en, is
given by 19 0 Page 197. This was tried in this series of experiments, but its effect on contamination
was negligible. For (77e, 78e) the selectivity was reversed and w as dram atically reduced (at 40%
conversion the (S) alcohol w as obtained in 26%ee). Recent progress has been made for controllable
and reliable covalent grafting of different functional groups on the diamond surface. In this study the
13C NMR data from a number of relatively rigid oxim es was com pared to sim ilar data for the
parent ketones. The results of this study, however, disagree with this assumption, since an oxide layer
caused by exposure to moisture free O2 also caused the Page 65. Note that the base level denotes

microscopy reveals these “plates” to be crystalline -PbO. Therefore an in-lens detector is employed
to characterise grain structures on the BDD surface. Specific rotations were calculated allow ing
corrections for the product from the non-chiral enol acetate having no rotation. 187 Page 205. Note
height measurements in AFM are more accurate than lateral measurements, as the latter may
overestimate the true particle width. Design: A constructivist Grounded Theory was used to
understand assessment from different perspectives. This proves that the proton at the chiral centre,
adjacent to the carbonyl group is not labile under the conditions of the ferm entation, and therefore
that the reduction is non-stereospecific. 4.12 SU M M A RY AND CONCLUSIONS A lthough the
various hydrolytic procedures attem pted on the methyl ester were full of problems with
unaccountable uptake of alkali from the autoburette and with product purification it can be seen that
PLE will actually hydrolyse the methyl ester. This method of resolution was unsuccessful in the
resolution o f 2-methyl and 2,6- dim ethylcyclohexanones. They derived the same expression for the
B diffusion coefficient under both conditions. Stim ulation o f the B- cardiac receptors increases rate
and force o f contraction of the heart. The tassel has also been used to indicate membership in
national honour societies or other awards. These conditions had been established previously, in an
investigation of rates of transesterification with increasing am ount of vinyl acetate.2 7 6 This
reaction was followed by TLC and worked up when it was approxim ately 50% com plete. The
observed responses are in qualitative agreement with FEM simulations. 3.1 Introduction The effect of
temperature, T, in electrochemistry is of great importance1, 2 yet most electrochemical experiments
are performed under ambient conditions. Reactions were monitored by TLC of the organic phase but
after 7 days no change was observed. A lthough few er primary alcohols have been resolved with
lipase P some excellent results have been achieved in, for exam ple, the resolution of glycerol esters
and organom etallic substrates.
BDD is the ideal material for thermoelectrochemistry due to its thermal stability, high thermal
conductivity, ca. 600 W m-1 K-1 at 300 K,187 and high thermal diffusivity, which is approximately
2-3 times higher than that of the copper. Butyric anhydride (0.725 g, 4.58 mmol) was added, the
flask was stirred at room temperature and reaction was follow ed by TLC, eluting with ether: toluene
1:1. The modelled temperature at the electrode electrolyte interface is the average temperature across
the 1 mm diameter electrode surface. Page 108. Christen had previously related the signals in the
spectrum of the product determined in the presence o f the shift reagent to the absolute
configurations of the enantiom ers. This temperature was therefore used as an empirical minimum for
activation o f the delta layer in this study. Thus, decreases in dislocation count can be correlated with
a reduction in carbon and oxygen coverage; similarly decreases in s-pit densities are indicative of
less metallic contamination on the substrate. The plot of current vs potential is termed linear sweep
voltammetry (LSV). His manipulative translations, as he claimed in his last extended translation,
were intended for metaphorical explication of a certain subject with the source text as a point of
departure, rather than an end to return to. C 10H 7CH2 The ra te of esterification with lipase from P.

obilised maximum interesterification ac tiv ity was achieved with 2% water. This experim ent was
performed twice on different titrators and the same resu lt was obtained. The D1 to D4 lines were
found to vary with temperature, but since several factors affected their magnitude (defect density,
impurity concentration, position on wafer), a simple temperature dependence was not easy to
determine. The current flowing through the electrode is measured. The tr a n s isomer minimises to a
sim ilar value and is again a chair co n fo rm er. Figure 62. M inimised conformations, (a) cis diaxial,

is in the micrometre range. His translation principles are not pure literary notions; rather they are tied
to the Confucian literary and exegetical tradition. For a more detailed illustration, the CV was split
into two components: the forward (Figure 5.5b) and backward (Figure 5.5c) scans. In the
microelectrode CV measurements, a scan rate of 10 mV s-1 was employed with a potential step of
0.001 mV, which provides a total of 10 current sampling points per laser pulse (10 ms). As the
potential approaches E2, the faradic current rises approximately exponentially due to the increase in
kr until the anodic current reaches a peak ipa at potential of Epa, after which the current drops. The
promotion of the complex notion of translation beyond the word itself to the realm of metaphor
facilitates exchange between languages and systems at the level of tertium comparationis and enables
reasoning at the level of the universal logos. Only the central portion of this charge becomes molten
as it sits in a water cooled copper hearth. Thus the b iotransform ation may be catalysed by another
enzym e present in the m ixture. European Patent No 0 237 983 (1987). 2 4 6 Page 264. The
independence from substrate temperature is therefore consistent with the theory. The resulting peak
shaped CV from a disk macroelectrode is illustrated in Figure 1.8b. Page 43. This system had earlier
been shown to g ive good splitting o f the methoxy signal as long as the com pound, shift reagent
and solvent were anhydrous. Then SciSpace would allow you to download your references in Thesis

ethylcyclohexanone does not have the problems associated with isomeric enol acetates as does 2-m
ethylcyclohexanone. The water extracts w ere passed sequentially down a line of te st tubes each
containing dichlorom ethane ( 2 ml) and shaken and re-separa ted from each. An external driving
force will disturb the equilibrium of this reaction.
The only peaks remaining were H2 and CO (see Fig. 6.17). Transitions in carrier concentrations using
this design of cell are extremely sharp due to its very low thermal mass. Fig. 6.18 shows the wide
dynamic range and abrupt transition that can be made with the cell. PID's showed no variation with
temperature, as would be expected due to their being caused by flux or flaking problems. S-pit
densities also showed no change, which is somewhat surprising. Parts of this thesis have been
published or to be submitted, as detailed below: Lingcong Meng, James G. N orcam phor oxime (50
m g, 0.4 mm ol) was dissolved in ferf-buty l m ethyl e th er (1 ml) and vinyl acetate (103 mg, 0.11

macroelectrode is illustrated in Figure 1.8b. Page 43. The filtered toluene solution was treated with
1.1 eq. of TFA21, 22 and then refluxed overnight. These highly narrow disperse glycopolymers were
then tested for binding and inhibition of DC-SIGN, a protein important for HIV infection. However
in this case the rate was not studied and it may be that one enantiom er was consum ed m ore
rapidly than the other. 194 Page 212. The minor (R ) isomer was removed by selective esterification
using lipase P to gain an increase to 97%ee. Denaturation was achieved by immersing the dsDNA

(bi) CVs of evaporated gold electrode (1 mm diameter) after re-hybridisation with MB modified
target ssDNA at different scan rates: 100 mV s-1 (black), 200 mV s-1 (pink), 500 mV s-1 (red), 1000
mV s-1 (blue). Since carrier freeze out occurs more rapidly for Ga due to its higher ionisation energy
(the Ga acceptor band lies 72meV above the valence band edge), the density of neutral Ga atoms in
a sample o f a given 77K carrier concentration is higher than in an equivalent B doped layer. Working
with microelectrodes has the advantage that a steady-state current is always obtained under a
suitably high driving potential and the steady-state analysis is thus simpler than for a macroelectrode
system. This is probably due to the mass transport contribution from the slightly rough edge of the
micro-disk (shown in the FE-SEM image in Figure 5.2), which reflects the original cut of the laser to
define the cylinder. In chapters 4 and 5, all diamond macro- and micro- electrodes (intrinsic diamond
overgrown on BDD) were employed. For OCP measurements two separate solutions, one held in
ambient condition the other at elevated temperature, were employed. Deposition morphologies are
analysed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE- SEM), atomic force microscopy
(AFM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). 4.2
Experimental 4.2.1 Surface characterization Microscopic studies were carried out ex-situ after
electrodeposition. However, to achieve this goal several milestones need to be met. For each
deposition, at least three images were recorded in different areas of the surface for both AFM and
FE-SEM measurements. The advantage of Ga, and the reason why it has become so widely used, is
its ease of evaporation due to convenient vapour pressure. Denaturation was achieved by immersing
the dsDNA modified gold electrode in 10 mM heated (90 oC) phosphate buffer (1 M KCl, pH 7.3)
for 10 mins. (bi) CVs of evaporated gold electrode (1 mm diameter) after re-hybridisation with MB
modified target ssDNA at different scan rates: 100 mV s-1 (black), 200 mV s-1 (pink), 500 mV s-1
(red), 1000 mV s-1 (blue). In this case a control experim ent with no enzym e performed on the
autotitrator showed no consumption o f alkali over 24 hours. The high levels of controllability and
reproducibility of the cell, coupled with the properties of B as a dopant (unity sticking coefficient,
high solid solubility limit, no surface segregation) form a near ideal combination for the production
of these sharp spikes. Such bacteria will not grow in a complex medium in the absence of a source of
ferm entable sugar. Most immediately desorb, and so incorporation becomes independent of
temperature, but is rather a function of lattice site availability. Although no elucidation of the
mechanism for the formation of the surface layer was given, the anneal results showed that 54 Page

at Warwick, and a Cameca 3F, a magnetic sector system at Loughborough Consultants. Most of the
examples of the use of this lipase in the literature relate to reactions of glycerides. I would like to
particularly mention Dr. James Iacobini for his help during my 1st year Ph.D. and Dr. Max Joseph for
the helpful discussions. Finally, double hydrophilic diblock glycopolymers composed of mannose
glycopolymer block and LCST PNIPAM or PDEGEEA block were successfully synthesized by this
aqueous SET-LRP technique. The polymerizations are performed at or below ambient temperature
with quantitative conversions attained in minutes.
The FE-SEM image again shows both the “upright” and flat “plate” structures. It is therefore
unlikely that CO caused the high carbon levels within the layers. The m elting point o f the product
was as previously reported for the oxim e303' 305 and it was analysed by pub lished procedure.302

and its tendency to surface segregate during growth. The reactions w ere m onitored for 1 week and
even after this time no product w as evident in either of the reactions. 2.5 SUMMARY AND
CONCLUSIONS The racemic B-blocker precursor was prepared and esterified successfully,
although yields were not high. Passive layers formed on the electrode surface hinder electron
transfer, resulting in reduced (or zero) current response. These are the principal types o f selectivity
to which reference will be made in the following review. Page 32. T h e appropriate dichlorom
ethane layers were com bined, dried and evaporated. The lipase is an exocellular enzyme and, as
mentioned in the introduction, its biosynthesis can be increased by addition of certain inducers to the
culture medium. Doping levels o f up to 10l9cm-3 have been achieved with sharp transitions. The two
phases were stirred together and the extent of conversion was determ ined by the relative peak areas
o f the enol acetate and ketone on GLC. Three phase point is the interface between water, solid and
air, and. This indicates that some of the NPs is in elemental Pb form and not passivated with PbO.

Eventually a polycrystalline structure is formed which is shown in Figure 1.2a and b. Note the grain
size increases as the film thickness increases. Since the method used for all layers was to initiate
growth at a standard temperature then lower it to that desired for growth, for Ts to play a role in
defect formation they must be nucleated during the early stages of growth rather than at the
interface. The actual interfacial carbon levels, as measured by SIMS, did not seem to be dramatically
affected by growth temperature, as shown in Fig. 5.3. It seems, however, that only the temperature
during the initial stages of growth is important to the dislocation nucleation process, since no
correlation between layer thickness and dislocation density was observed (see Fig. 3.1) as would
have been the case if nucleation occurred continuously during growth due to C contamination. The
box was then solvated with 14600 water molecules and 150 counter ions (Cl-) to maintain
electroneutrality of the system using the Gromacs genion tool. The contact arises from the
equilibrium between three phases: the solid phase (S), the liquid phase (L) and the gas phase (G).
Note height measurements in AFM are more accurate than lateral measurements, as the latter may
overestimate the true particle width. Here though, one of the less popular lipases 107 Page 125. This
design modification was not without its disadvantages though, as inevitably some parts of the
chamber walls became warmer than with cryopanel cooling present. More The lipase isolated from
wheatgerm has been utilised in some biotransformations. In addition to experimental measurements,
FEM simulations were undertaken to describe the temperature and fluid dynamics during laser
heating, over a time period of 10 s. Please refer to the repository record for this item for information
to help you to cite it. C 14 and C i6 fatty acids were released preferentially from the triglycerides.
The intensities of the D lines, due to lattice defects, is less easy to treat quantitively due to their
dependence on impurity concentrations as well as defect density and substrate temperature (see
Chapter 4). If this were the case, tighter binding of Ga islands might mean fewer atoms were
available to incorporate at growth steps or damage sites, due to an even lower surface mobility. A
queous sodium hydroxide solution (0.1M ) was added via a pH -stat to maintain a pH of 7.0. A fter
addition of the theoretical am ount o f alkali the reaction m ixture was acidified to inactivate the
enzym e. It has also been used in resolutions of chiral acids but has seen little use in reactions of
prim ary alcohols. 64 Page 82.
Specifically, the peak current has increased compared to that under ambient conditions by ? 3.5 for
1.2 kW cm-2 and ? 8.1 for 2.5 kW cm-2. (2) The potential for the forward peak current shifts
positively with increasing Pd (-0.168 V for 1.2 kW cm-2 and -0.148 V for 2.5 kW cm-2 ) and; (3) a
cathodic current is observed in magnitude for the backward scan, which increases in magnitude as
the Pd is increased. Preparation and application of SAM will be discussed in section 1.4.1. In
electrochemical sensing, especially bio-sensing, inhibition of electron transfer processes, as a result of
surface absorption of species, is disadvantageous as it is detrimental to the sensitivity and stability of
the electrode.64, 71 In the field of bio-sensing, neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin
are well known surface fouling inner-sphere redox mediators. Various approaches have been used to
circum vent these problems. 7 Page 25. The CV recorded under ambient conditions (black) is not data
sampled or subject to a laser pulse. It seems probable that B is picked up from the atmosphere,
probably in the form of gaseous B(OH)3, which is known to be present in air. 57 Page 63. Note that
during the 5 second interval no pulsed laser heating was applied. Purification by flash silica gel
chromatography gave a white solid (20 mg) whose 1H NMR data (Figure 6.8) was consistent with
that of another compound, 1,3-bis(dec-9-en-1- yl)urea (Figure 6.9) and this indicates the
unsuccessful synthesis of TFAAD. Figure 6.7: IR spectroscopy after the reaction of DPPA with
triethylamine in the non- participatory solvent toluene. Page 206. The two main doping elements in
CVD diamond are boron (B) and nitrogen (N). By successive measurement and dissolution, a depth
profile can be obtained. Re-hybridisation was carried out by immersing the electrode in 10 mM
phosphate buffer (1 M KCl, pH 7.3) containing 1 ?M target ssDNA.. 196 Page 18. Putting a methyl
substituent at all positions along the chain decreased the rate and the greatest decrease was observed
by branching at the 3-position. The configuration and enantiom eric excess were confirm ed by m
easurem ent o f the optical rotation. For the CV experiments described herein the current is sampled
immediately after each potential step. It is also possible to heat and change the Page 100. If the
activated boron radical is present, BDD will be produced as a result of replacing carbon atoms by
boron atoms in the diamond lattice. T he solution was then reneu tralised by addition o f
concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. However, the difference in frequencies of the central peaks
differs between the two decouplings (2.2 Hz for decoupling at 1.1878 ppm and 1.7 Hz for
decoupling at 1.1756 ppm ). This is a difference of approxim ately 25% suggesting strongly that the
m olecule is a sy m m e tr ic. Butyric anhydride (0.725 g, 4.58 mmol) was added, the flask was stirred
at room temperature and reaction was follow ed by TLC, eluting with ether: toluene 1:1. The product
was extracted in to ether and the com bined extracts were dried over magnesium su lphate. An attem
pt was made to separate the two isom ers by spinning band distilla tion but this proved to be
unsuccessful as the acetate appeared to cleave under prolonged heating. The resulting surface of
BDD was oxygen terminated. This does not, however, agree with mass spectrometry results taken at
various growth temperatures, which showed no increase in carbon compounds in the ambient. A
survey of the extensive literature shows that lipases have w idely different selectivities with respect to
substrate. The disadvantage of this system is that on some occasions dense, stable emulsions form ed
on extraction which were d ifficu lt to disperse even on filtration through Celite. 125 Page 143. There
are two possible reasons for the appearance of such a spike. As can be seen there is very good
agreement between both methods of temperature determination. Here the absorption and
accumulation of reactants, intermediates or products on the electrode surface lead to the following
effects: (1) layer formation;61, 62 (2) changes in electrode capacitance;63 (3) hindered electron
transfer process.64 Self-assembled monolayer (SAM)65-67 formation is one of most common
approaches for forming layers on an electrode surface and has been used for e.g. Page 49. Previous
studies of the double layer using ns laser pulse techniques have shown that thermal heating leads to a
virtually instantaneous restructuring of the double layer. The two solutions were connected with a
saturated KNO3 salt bridge. EDX spectra were recorded using the EDX unit equipped with the FE-
SEM instrument at a working distance of 10 mm and accelerating voltage of 7.5 keV. For high
resolution TEM (HR-TEM) measurements, deposits on the BDD surface were mechanically removed
using a blade and then dispersed in absolute ethanol (Fisher Scientific, 99.5 %), followed by
centrifugation for 15 minutes (Eppendorf, 12 000 rpm).
