Oxidation of methylamine (open access)

Oxidation of methylamine

Article describes how a detailed chemical kinetic model for oxidation of methylamine has been developed, based on theoretical work and a critical evaluation of data from the literature. The mechanism was validated against experimental results from batch reactors, flow reactors, shock tubes, and premixed flames. This is the accepted manuscript version of the published article.

A Statistical Analysis of Trans-Resveratrol in Grape Cane From Ten Varieties of Cultivated Wine Grapes (Vitis Spp.) (open access)

A Statistical Analysis of Trans-Resveratrol in Grape Cane From Ten Varieties of Cultivated Wine Grapes (Vitis Spp.)

This article isolated resveratrol by a non-optimized protocol from ten varieties of grape cane grown in central Texas, USA. A statistical grouping of the ten varieties suggests that Norton, Blanca du bois, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Lenoir are the best candidates to use for further resveratrol isolation.
