Further Validation of a Rapid Screening Semiquantitative Thin-Layer Chromatographic Method for Marketed Antimalarial Medicines for Adoption in Malawi by Dorcas Osei-Safo, Ibrahim Chikowe, Jerry Joe Ebow Kingsley Harrison, Daniel Konadu Yeboah, Ivan Addae-Mensah

“…A recently developed semiquantitative thin-layer chromatographic (SQ-TLC) assay has been employed in postmarketing surveillance of antimalarial medicines used in Malawi prior to HPLC assay. Both methods gave analogous results in a significant majority of the samples, with a good correlation (r = 0.9012) for the active pharmaceutical ingredients of the dosage forms assayed. …”

Measurement of Cl− : Br− Ratios in the Porewater of Clay-Rich Rocks—A Comparison of the Crush-and-Leach and the Paper-Absorption Methods by Magda Celejewski, David Barton, Tom Al

“…The observed differences in Cl− : Br− ratios are attributed primarily to anion exclusion effects which are stronger for Br− than for Cl−, resulting in higher Br− concentrations in the largest pores that are preferentially sampled by the paper-absorption technique. In addition, calculations suggest that Cl− is more effective than Br− in forming ion pairs and clusters with neutral or positive charge which can enter the diffuse double layer. …”

Exploring the relationship between students´ experiences with online payment methods and financial competencies using a Bayesian nonparametric approach by José Manuel Cordero, Lucía Mateos-Romero

“…Results Our findings suggest that our variable of interest does not have a significant impact on the financial literacy performance of the students in our sample. Examining its interactive effect with other indicators, however, we observe that experience in the use of online payment methods does have a definite positive influence among students from more socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.…”
