The aim of this study was to use an online survey to obtain information from cat owners about their experiences of medicating their cats. An online survey containing 35 questions on experiences of medicating cats was circulated to cat owners globally. In total, 2507 surveys from 57 countries were analysed; 1724 from 'cat owners' and 783 from 'cat o...

The aqueous solution of ethylene glycol (EG) is a binary liquid mixture that displays rich conformational and structural behaviour, which has not yet been adequately explored through atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Herein, employing an accurate force field for EG, several physical properties of this solution are calculated to be in quanti...
The development of a facile surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor for the on-site detection of trace molecules in liquid phase is a compelling need. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) dendritic Au–Ag nanostructure was constructed by a two-step electro displacement reaction in a capillary tube for the on-site liquid phase detection of...

In this paper, hybrid integration of planar microstrip line and Photonic Band Gap (PBG) structure is proposed for the dielectric characterization of liquids. To implement the PBG structure of the microstrip line, a microfluidic channel with periodic form is introduced into the substrate and filled with different liquids. Based on this configuration...

A novel experimental setup dedicated to the study of liquid and amorphous materials, on the white beam station of the PSICHÉ beamline at SOLEIL, is described. The Beer–Lambert absorption method has been developed using a broad-spectrum (white) incident beam for in situ density measurements at extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. This tec...

The technique of laser ablation in liquids is applied to produce Boron-containing nanoparticles from ablation of a Fe2B bulk target enriched in 10B isotope. Laser ablation of the target in liquid isopropanol results in partial disproportionation to free Fe and Boron while nanoparticles of Fe2B are also presented. The nanoparticles are magnetic and ...

We study the instantaneous normal mode (INM) spectrum of a simulated soft-sphere liquid at different equilibrium temperatures T . We find that the spectrum of eigenvalues ρ ( λ ) has a sharp maximum near (but not at) λ = 0 and decreases monotonically with | λ | on both the stable and unstable sides of the spectrum. The spectral shape strongly depen...

Diffusion processes can be followed directly by recording one-dimensional images of a selected slice at variable intervals after selective inversion of the magnetization. The resulting diffusion coefficients of H2 O and DMSO are consistent with earlier studies at different temperatures, obtained by monitoring the attenuation of NMR signals as a fun...
When liquids are confined into a nanometer-scale slit, the induced layering-like film structure allows the liquid to sustain non-isotropic stresses and thus be load-bearing. Such anisotropic characteristics of liquid under confinement arise naturally from the liquids’ wavenumber dependent compressibility, which does not need solidification to take ...

High power, broadband terahertz (THz) radiation from liquids, excited by intense, femtosecond 800 nm laser pulses has been demonstrated recently, overturning the long held belief that liquids would not give such emission due to their absorption in the THz region. Given the widespread interest in the use of THz radiation for several applications and...
