When I do technical seminars about EIFS, one of the most frequent questions is, “Should I use adhesives or mechanical fasteners (screws plus washers), or even both, to attach the foam insulation to the wall?” The answer depends on a number of factors, and sometimes you have no choice about which to use.

In order to evaluate the effect of this substitution, the mechanical properties at 7 and 28 days for compression was determine, 28 days for bending and then the physical properties of fresh and har...

Histidine can be protonated on either or both of the two N atoms of the imidazole moiety. Each of the three possible forms occurs as a result of the stereochemical environment of the histidine side chain. In an atomic model, comparing the possible protonation states in situ, looking at possible hydrogen bonding and metal coordination, it is possible to predict which is most likely to be correct. A more direct method is described that uses quantum-mechanical methods to calculate, also in situ, the minimum geometry and energy for comparison, and therefore to more accurately identify the most likely proton­ation state.
