TL;DR: An analytical investigation of paint reconstructions prepared with linseed oil that have undergone typical 19th century treatments in preparation for painting shows that the ratio between the relative amounts of palmitic and stearic acid (P/S), which is used as an index for differentiating between drying oils, is extremely dependent on the pigments present and the age of the paint.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a microwave assisted Clevenger-type device to extract essential oils (EOs) from Lavender, Sage, rosemary, fennel seed and clove bud essential oils.

TL;DR: This work proposes a cleaning procedure for PDMS foams obtained using a sugar templating process, based on the use of two different solvents (hexane and ethanol) as cleaning agents.

TL;DR: The study clearly showed that HgS forms stable complexes with proteins and acts as a sensitizer in cross-linking, hydrolysis and oxidation, and to a lesser extent, to oxidation of the side chains.

TL;DR: A recursive neural network model was used to predict the melting points of several pyridinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) and particular emphasis was given to the representation of cyclic moieties.
