Antioxidative Reactivity of L-Ascorbic Acid and D-Isoascorbic Acid Species towards Reduction of Hexachloroiridate (IV) by Han Zhang, Yanqing Xia, Peng Zhang, Liqian Hou, Ying Sun, Zhaozhan Lu, Yunfeng Tang, Hongwu Tian, Tiesheng Shi

“…A reaction mechanism is suggested involving parallel reactions of [IrCl6]2– with three protolysis species of AA/IAA (fully protonated, monoanionic, and dianionic forms) as the rate-determining steps and formation of ascorbic/isoascorbic and ascorbate/isoascorbate radicals; in each of the steps, [IrCl6]2– acquires an electron via an outer-sphere electron transfer mode. …”

Canvas support impregnation materials and techniques: a study of Portuguese painting and its conservation issues by Andréa Carolina Teixeira

“…This paper focuses on the study of oil based coating impregnations, applied in the past, on the reverse of Portuguese painting canvas supports.The scientific study of the impregnation materials found in the painting “The Knight of the Order of Malta” (18th century) was carried out on samples using several analytical techniques – Optical Microscopy (OM) under visible reflected and polarised light and ultraviolet fluorescence (UV); Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS), Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (transmission and FTIR-ATR), and Scanning electron microscopy coupled with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) – in order to identify the materials and the techniques used in this practice.…”

On Possible Reduction of Equilibrium Radius of a Neutron Star Influenced by Superstrong Magnetic Field by Vladimir V. Skobelev

“…Necessary condition for β -decay suppression of a neutron in degenerate magnetized electron gas is formulated. Based on this, it is shown that, in superstrong magnetic field, equilibrium radius of a neutron star is approximately several times smaller than without the field influence. …”
