Elucidation and quantification of the decomposition products of sodium dithionite and the detection of peroxide vapors with thin films
(2014-07)
Sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) is an oxidizable sulfur oxyanion often employed as a reducing agent in environmental and synthetic chemistry. When exposed to the atmosphere, dithionite degrades through a series of decomposition ...
Assessment of multiple measures of honey bee (Apis mellifera ligustica) and horse (Equus ferus caballus) responding on fixed interval schedules: An individual versus aggregate analysis
(2015-05)
We compared different measures of temporal control of two species' responding when reinforced on fixed interval schedules of reinforcement. The measures that were evaluated are: cumulative response curves, response bin ...
