We utilize accelerated molecular dynamics to simulate alkane desorption from the basal plane of graphite. Eight different molecules, ranging from n-pentane to n-hexadecane, are studied in the low coverage limit. Acceleration of the molecular dynamics simulations is achieved using two different methods: temperature acc…

The contact angle of water has been measured on a series of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on thermally evaporated and sputter coated silver surfaces. It is found that micropatterning the surface using nanosphere lithography leads to large increases in the contact angle and generates superhydrophobic surfaces with co…

Immunological and allergenic responses against the latex of Calotropis procera were investigated in mice by oral and subcutaneous routes. The latex was fractionated according to water solubility and molecular size of its components. The fractions were named as non-dialyzable latex (NDL) corresponding to the major late…
