Eco friendly spectrophotometric method for the determination of Palladium (II) - SlideServe

Palladium (II) was determined spectrophotometrically with dimethylglyoxime as complexing reagent in aqueous phase in presence of an anionic surfactant SDS. Beer’s law was obeyed, over the concentration range 2.0-16.0µg mL-1 with the detection limit 26.6ng mL-1. The and molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity were 0.4´104L mol-1cm-1and 28.2 ng cm-2 respectively at λmax481nm. Validation of method has been made by comparing the results with those obtained by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry; no significant difference was noted between the two methods at 95% confidence interval. The purpose was to develop rapid, convenient, sensitive, and reproducible spectrophotometric method for the detection of Pd (II) ions at trace level using DMG reagent in 0.02% SDS micellar media and replaced the old solvent extraction method, which was time consuming, costly and use of toxic solvents. The method is simple, accurate and economical and has been successfully applied to the determination of palladium (II) in natural, biological, industrial and environmental samples.

For the ask meme...Vader/Padme? Like, post-Mustafar Vader.

Sorry this took so long, love. Had to think about it, then got caught up in dissertating, then self-absorbed by depression. Woke up today and realized it was time to respond. That being said, I’m not very good at this sort of meme — I clam up and say things wrong — so don’t expect too much. Would be very excited to see your own response to this one!

Give me a CHARACTER or a SHIP, and I will bold the statements that are true, and elaborate on my preferences and specific narrative kinks where I am so moved.

Do not want. Ptooey.

I am neutral, indifferent and serene. Send me a rec and change my mind.

I’ll enjoy anything as long as they’re in it.

I’ll enjoy anything as long as they get a happy ending.

Break them and make them bleed.

Swaddle them in fluff.

I’m mostly interested in gapfilling and exploring their canon interactions.

Throw the canon out the window; bae deserves better.

By which I don’t mean: throw the suit out the window.  If I’m invested in anything wrt Vader, it’s characterization that is committed to the suit and all the structures and problems and possibilities it creates. Stories where Vader can be returned to a baseline self/identity with the right treatment in a straightforward linear process are certainly given legitimacy through the Special Edition of RotJ; stories where Vader is basically unaffected by the suit have their merits (I liked a lot of things about the Soule comic, in which the suit was largely irrelevant). But when I am dreaming on my own I prefer things messy, gory, without easy solutions. I’m wary of models of the mind-body relationship that essentialize identity — I like things fluid and reflective. Basically, I come to fic and comics about Vader to explore the lack of a sense of self, to think about fragmentation, trauma, grief, damage, the uncanny, the amorphous nature of the mind. The suit is integral to that field of thought.

I … am struggling to talk about Padmé, because … not only did she ABSOLUTELY deserve better, there is a part of me that refuses to be reconciled to her death, even though I can appreciate the irony, the tragedy, the parallelism, etc. How to put this… I want stories where Padmé is more than a symbol, more than her relationship to Anakin or her children … I want to see her own trauma play out, her own cracked mirrors, her own shifting sense of self, her own fight with her body, mind, the structures she has created and was shaped in, the blind spots flaring open wide … for her own ambitions and complicity and power-lust to be factors … and you see why this meme took me so long to answer.

Here’s a different way of putting it. I’m old, so my understanding of Padmé was formed in that period before AotC when it was still uncertain whether she would go by Padmé or Amidala, when it still seemed like she would go into hiding with Leia on Alderaan, when she was surrounded by handmaidens and drowning in heavy robes, when she presented as a cypher who disappeared behind face paint or into a crowd, as someone whose identity constantly transformed. I loved this idea of Padmé as more than unaffected beautiful surface, as someone whose very surface creates an experience of friction. So I’m still super partial to stories based on Naboo (I have a fic rec list somewhere that lists some of these) that sort of confront that parallelism between a Queen who wore a painted mask encoded with symbols of grief and the Knight entombed behind a mask … you get the picture.

Many stories deal with the role of projection in this relationship — Anakin and Padmé both project a great deal onto one another, and there’s plenty to unpack there — and stories about them getting therapy, stories about them projecting even harder, etc are interesting to me. I adore how this is handled in that one Legends comic where Vader is taken down by flamethrowers and has had the mask taken away and is practically hallucinating from the lack of oxygen and is holding himself together with nothing but spite. If the comic is at first concerned with Vader’s excessive violence, with his weirdly detached reenactment of his own lung and heart trauma in horrific torture sessions, the best bits play out in his own head, such as when a witch projects Padmé at him. Padmé transforms before him into an accusing corpse and he accepts this transformation as real, as though he’s pictured her as a rotting corpse so many times that it’s all that he wants, all he has longed for, awaited, desired — her judgment — and when he realizes he wasn’t really speaking to Padmé’s ghost, that he’s lost her even in death, the ensuing devastation is kind of mesmerizing. The wild swings between grief and rage and madness and hallucination — between murder and attempted suicide — make for a damning, visceral portrait. The new comic does a variation on this, but it’s less clear that Vader is having a battle with himself, as it could be that the Dark Side is simply projecting an evil Padmé at him to tell him to “let the past die” or somesuch — anyway. I love the stuff that stares into the abyss and lets it stare back.

Gimme crackfic.

Gimme all the tropes.

Subvert the tropes and set them on fire.

Fire in the story itself is always good too.

I am a simple soul: I’m here because they’re hot and sometimes naked.

Here is my OTP. Come between them and I will…ship and let ship, because I am a civilized fanperson, but CAN’T YOU SEE THEY’RE PERFECT TOGETHER??! (Or perfectly, fascinatingly, shippably dysfunctional, in certain cases.)

I have favoured and disfavoured ships. Convince me. Seduce me.

I’m not into ships for the romance / whatever, but for what particularly intense relationships can reveal about character. While there’s a part of me that insists Vader is a black swan, alternate ships (Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Aphra, etc) can be fascinating.

I had an OTP once, but then this amazing author, [insert author here], seduced me. Goddammit.

Fandom bicycle, baby! \o/

I have no shippy feelings at this time.

My feelings cannot be summed up by this meme. Have a seat while I put the kettle on.

micellllllllllle ! - god, I want to ask these of you

20. Post a snippet of a WIP you’re working on.

Leia raised her fist to knock on the shell and —

— and stepped back as the chamber walls began splitting into teeth. They were massive, the size of astromechs. She’d only moved to avoid being hit by one of the things. A whole row of them rose past her head, black mirrors emptied of reflection.

Decompression had sounded like the suppressed hiss of an animal. The respirator was worse.

“What is it.”

Leia’s cheeks felt warm as a match. The air fleeing the chamber was good for burning, light in her chest, like it was making room for itself there. 

8. Favorite trope to write.

I’m a sucker for Pragmatic Villainy with a Straight Man and Wise Guy dynamic — along the lines of Vader and Aphra in the  2015-6 comic — but have never successfully written it. 

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork - characters who hate each other working together  in service of their own respective goals - is something I have written in the past and still tend to write. It’s a good set-up for testing out unreliable narrators, and the inevitable conclusion takes off some of the pressure of imagining an ending.

50. Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had.

I have written some weird shit. I am not going to link to it.

The weirdest idea I’ve had for SW is not all that weird. The frame was a basic nightmare spell, someone incapacitating Vader by trapping him in his own mind. In the nightmares, Vader would have found himself apparently divested of the suit, torn out his internal organs looking for it, broken into a bacta tank, etc etc following a chain of backwards logic. So loss of physical control, but also loss of narrative control, in that all of his usual anchors would be missing. The banks of Mustafar, only with no Obi-Wan, that sort of thing. The correct memory, the means of straightening his narrative just out of reach. Instead someone he doesn’t know keeps speaking to him, following him everywhere, taunting him - so he searches for this tormenter, this one remaining interlocutor, in vain. The voice being his own, of course. Anyway, I could never settle on an ending and realized that the set-up was nothing but a convenient excuse to experiment with different kinds of prose in my head, so it’ll never be written.
