TL;DR: In this paper, critical values at the 95% confidence level for the two-tailed Q test, and related tests based upon subrange ratios, for the statistical rejection of outlying data have been interpolated by applying cubic regression analysis to the values originally published by Dixon.
Abstract: Critical values at the 95% confidence level for the two-tailed Q test, and related tests based upon subrange ratios, for the statistical rejection of outlying data have been interpolated by applying cubic regression analysis to the values originally published by Dixon. Corrections to errors in Dixon's original tables are also included. It is recommended that the newly generated 95% critical values be adopted by analytical chemists as the general standard for the rejection of outlier values

TL;DR: A series of tertiary amines, devoid of hydroxy groups or other weak donors on the α, β, or γ carbons, have been developed as "Better" pH buffers which, as a result of steric hindrance, are incapable of forming even weak complexes with metal ions.
Abstract: Most of a broad series of buffers developed by Good (often called “Good's” or “Good” buffers) have been shown to cause metal ion interference as a result of complexation. A series of tertiary amines, devoid of hydroxy groups or other weak donors on the α, β, or γ carbons, have been developed as “Better” pH buffers which, as a result of steric hindrance, are incapable of forming even weak complexes with metal ions. As a result, they avert interferences of the type often encountered in metal ion studies which require buffer use. The compounds studied are alkyl and alkylsulfonate derivatives of morpholine (3), piperazine (3), ethylenediamine (3), and methylenediamine (1). With the exception of the morpholine derivatives, these compounds have two protonatable sites and, therefore, can be used to buffer two separate pH regions. A series of 10 buffer compounds span the entire range of pH 3−11. The acid dissociation constants for these compounds have now been determined in aqueous solution at 15, 25, 35 and 45 °...

TL;DR: Based on a mechanistic analysis of the metal complexation process, it is proposed that tertiary amine compounds, having N-substituents which are ethyl or larger, are sterically inaccessible for initial bond formation with solvated metal ions in aqueous solution.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent mechanistic developments in the field of controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP) is presented, with particular emphasis on structure-reactivity correlations and "rules" for catalyst selection in ATRP, for chain transfer agent selection in reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, and for the selection of an appropriate mediating agent in stable free radical polymerisation (SFRP), including organic and transition metal persistent radicals.

TL;DR: The current status and future perspectives in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) are presented in this paper, with a special emphasis on mechanistic understanding of ATRP, recent synthetic and process development, and new controlled polymer architectures enabled by ATRP.
Abstract: Current status and future perspectives in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) are presented. Special emphasis is placed on mechanistic understanding of ATRP, recent synthetic and process development, and new controlled polymer architectures enabled by ATRP. New hybrid materials based on organic/inorganic systems and natural/synthetic polymers are presented. Some current and forthcoming applications are described.

TL;DR: Serac, software developed to evaluate the ability of each method to quantify relative changes in protein abundance is described, with overall spectral counting proved to be a more sensitive method for detecting proteins that undergo changes in abundance, whereas peak area intensity measurements yielded more accurate estimates of protein ratios.
