Room-temperature storage of medications labeled for refrigeration.

PURPOSE Data regarding the recommended maximum duration that refrigerated medications available in hospital pharmacies may be stored safely at room temperature were collected and compiled in a tabular format. METHODS During May and June of 2006, the prescribing information for medications labeled for refrigeration as obtained from the supplier were reviewed for data addressing room-temperatur...

Giant barocaloric effect in hexagonal Ni2In-type Mn-Co-Ge-In compounds around room temperature

The most widespread cooling techniques based on gas compression/expansion encounter environmental problems. Thus, tremendous effort has been dedicated to develop alternative cooling technique and search for solid state materials that show large caloric effects. An application of pressure to a material can cause a change in temperature, which is called the barocaloric effect. Here we report the ...

Electrochemical Applications of Room - Temperature Ionic Liquids

R3 R2 There is good evidence that the first room-temperature ionic liquid or RTIL was identified and characterized by Walden in 1914, who examined the electrical conductivity of ethylammonium nitrate.1 Thus, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the very beginnings of electrochemistry involved room-temperature ionic liquids! Although once considered to be a curious subset of the general c...

New auxiliaries for copper-catalyzed asymmetric Michael reactions: generation of quaternary stereocenters at room temperature.

Dialkyl amides of L-valine, L-isoleucine, and L-tert-leucine (2) are excellent chiral auxiliaries for the construction of quaternary stereocenters at ambient temperature. Enaminoesters 3, prepared from these auxiliaries 2 and Michael donors 1, undergo a copper-catalyzed asymmetric Michael reaction with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK, 4) to afford products 5 in 70-90% yield and 90-99% ee (enantiomeric...
