Viscosity measurements of ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, para-xylene and ethylbenzene [PDF]
Abstract The compressed liquid viscosities of ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, para-xylene and ethylbenzene were measured using a vibrating-wire viscometer at different temperatures and pressures. The measurements were performed over the temperature ranges of (273 to 373) K for o-xylene and m-xylene, (293 to 373) K for p-xylene and (253 to 373) K for ...

Emission characteristics of nonmethane hydrocarbons from private cars and taxis at different driving speeds in Hong Kong [PDF]
Vehicular emissions are the major sources of a number of air pollutants including nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) in urban area. The emission composition and emission factors of NMHCs from vehicles are currently lacking in Hong Kong.

Characterization of volatile organic compounds at a roadside environment in Hong Kong: An investigation of influences after air pollution control strategies [PDF]
Vehicular emission is one of the important anthropogenic pollution sources for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Four characterization campaigns were conducted at a representative urban roadside environment in Hong Kong between May 2011 and February ...

VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN MOTOR VEHICLE INTERIORS UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS AND THEIR EFFECT ON HUMAN HEALTH [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to estimate the mass concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene (B), toluene (T), ethylbenzene (E) and m-, p-, o-xylenes (X) inside of the driver-compartment of motor vehicles.

Design and fabrication of chemically robust three-dimensional microfluidic valves [PDF]
A current problem in microfluidics is that poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), used to fabricate many microfluidic devices, is not compatible with most organic solvents. Fluorinated compounds are more chemically robust than PDMS but, historically, it has been

Synthesis and Characterization of Nitro-p-xylenes
In this paper we elected to nitrate p-xylene because this compound has onlyone mononitro- and trinitro- isomer. Trinitro-p-xylene was used as a starting material forthe synthesis of other compounds in subsequent work.

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (–)-Myrifabral A and B [PDF]
A catalytic enantioselective approach to the Myrioneuron alkaloids (−)-myrifabral A and (−)-myrifabral B is described. The synthesis was enabled by a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation, that generates the C(10) all-carbon quaternary ...
