Conditional and unconditional nonlinear stability for convection induced by absorption of radiation in a porous medium (2004)
Journal Article

Convection induced by the selective absorption of radiation is investigated, for the case of an internal heat source that is modelled quadratically with respect to concentration. The growth rate for the linearised system is shown to be real, and a li...

Voltammetric, chromatographic and mass spectral elucidation of the redox reactions of 1-hydroxypyrene occurring at a screen-printed carbon electrode (2004)
Journal Article

The electrochemical oxidation of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) has been studied at a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE), by cyclic voltammetry and bulk electrolysis. Cyclic voltammograms exhibited two quasi-reversible pairs of peaks (designated 1a′/1c...

Voltammetric behavior of Chlorophyll a at a screen-printed carbon electrode and its potential role as a biomarker for monitoring fecal contamination (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Direct cyclic voltammetric determination of Chlorophyll a (Chl a) at a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) resulted in a single, irreversible anodic oxidation peak at Ep = +400 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. Electrochemical investigations revealed that Chl a was...

Development of an electrochemical assay for 2,6-dinitrotoluene, based on a screen-printed carbon electrode, and its potential application in bioanalysis, occupational and public health (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) have been successfully exploited as disposable sensors for the measurement of 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT) using a stripping voltammetric method. Initial investigations were undertaken using cyclic voltammetry...

The synthesis of novel 3-substituted pyrrole monomers possessing chiral side groups: A study of their chemical polymerisation and the assessment of their chiral discrimination properties (2003)
Journal Article

Novel 3-substituted pyrrole monomers possessing chiral side groups were synthesised. These compounds were successfully polymerised with ferric salts and the polymer materials fabricated into sensors. The sensors were found to elicit differential chan...

Rationalization of retention and overloading behavior of basic compounds in reversed-phase HPLC using low ionic strength buffers suitable for mass spectrometric detection (2003)
Journal Article

The retention and overloading behavior of some basic (and acidic) compounds has been studied on different RP-HPLC columns in buffers of varying ionic strength. Anomalous retention patterns of acids and bases were found on one phase in low-pH, volatil...
