Theory is presented to describe the voltammetric signals associated with the stripping phase of stripping voltammetry at solid electrodes. Three mathematical models are considered, and the importance of the hemispherical diffusion associated with electrochemical dissolution of particles in the micrometer range is investigated. Model A considers a "monolayer" system where the coverage at a specific point cannot exceed a maximum value. Model B considers a thin layer of metal or metal oxide, but in contrast to model A, the maximum surface coverage is not restricted. Model C represents the stripping of a "thick layer" where the deposition is also unrestricted.
The size of a glass sphere positioned in the center of a microdisk electrode is determined by using a simple electrochemical procedure and is confirmed, additionally, by a microscopical measurement of the sphere at the time of the electrochemical measurement. The cyclic voltammetric response of the naked electrode and of the electrode with the sphere positioned in its center is recorded over a wide range of scan rates (0.002-1.5 V s(-1)). The size of the sphere is then determined by comparison of the experimental voltammogram with simulations for each individual scan rate.
LFA-1 (leukocyte function-associated antigen-1), is a member of the beta2-integrin family and is expressed on all leukocytes. This letter describes the discovery and preliminary SAR of spirocyclic hydantoin based LFA-1 antagonists that culminated in the identification of analog 8 as a clinical candidate. We also report the first example of the efficacy of a small molecule LFA-1 antagonist in combination with CTLA-4Ig in an animal model of transplant rejection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
