Detection and estimation of small amounts of impurities in the air.
TLDR
Some quantitative measurements of the surface potential change produced by the deposition of a monomolecular layer of fatty acid on a polished stainless-steel plate are made, particularly at low concentrations, thus extending the earlier work of Frost1,2.Abstract:
IN the course of measuring, in air, the surface potential change produced by the deposition of a monomolecular layer of fatty acid on a polished stainless-steel plate, transient changes of potential were observed, due to the passage over the plate of vapour impurities in the laboratory air. Some quantitative measurements of this effect have been made, particularly at low concentrations, thus extending the earlier work of Frost1,2.read more

TL;DR: This chapter is devoted to genetic mapping in Saccharomyces cerevisiae ; however, the principles and techniques are generally applicable to investigations with other yeasts.

An electronic method of detecting impurities in the air
TL;DR: In this article, a vibrating condenser technique and a selective phase-sensitive amplifier were used to measure changes in surface potential of a prepared plate, and the results suggest that whilst the adsorption is caused mainly by electrostatic attraction between the dipole and its induced image, a small contribution is also caused by van der Waals attractive forces.

Films Built by Depositing Successive Monomolecular Layers on a Solid Surface
TL;DR: Arbor as mentioned in this paper showed that xanthone and lluorenone possess new bands in sulfuric acid sohtions which are associated with the stabilization of the quinonoid structure for these compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of studying the electrical properties of monomolecular films floating upon a liquid has been described, and measurements on the potential jump have been made in order to furnish a comparison with the work of Guyot.
