Sucrose hydrolysis reaction, catalysed by invertase under microwave irradiation was carried out in aqueous, isopropanol + water and polyethylene glycol + water system. The effect of conventional and microwave heating on the rate of hydrolysis was studied under a range of physical exposure conditions. The catalytic activity of invertase in aqueous and organic solvents were measured at different ...

in this work, benzyl alcohol was obtained in 96% excellent yield by hydrolysis of benzyl chloride catalyzedby the recyclable temperature-dependant phase-separation system that comprised the ionic liquid peg1000-dail[bf4], toluene and ferric sulfate under homogeneous catalysis in aqueous media. this novel methodnot only enhanced the yield, but also made the operating units easy workup. the catal...

introduction: feverfew (tanacetum parthenium) (t.p.) is widely used in folk medicine to treat many diseases. we reported the analgesic effect of t.p. flower and leaf previously. present study is designed to find the mechanism underlying the anti-nociceptive effect of the aqueous extract of t.p. flower. method: based on our previous study, the dose 50 mg/kg i.p. of the t.p. aqueous extract had a...

The present work focuses on preparation and characterization of erythromycin loaded gelatin nanoparticles through nanoprecipitation method. The procedure consists of the addition of the aqueous gelatin solution to the non-solvent phase containing Lutherol F127. Three different measures of cross-linker and polymer concentration were also examined, and the optimum concentration was found. The mor...

A closed-loop recycling process is being investigated (using membrane technology) to remove soils from industrial surface cleaning Operations. This recycling process combines cleaning chemical (aqueous and semi-aqueous formulations), cleaning equipment and closedloop recyding methods tb minimize soil loading in a parts cleaning process. Closed-loop recycling and the need for it is the primary t...

Rosa damascena (Rosaceae) has been found to act on central nervous system including the brain. Several studies confirm that Rosa damascena inhibits the reactivity of the hypothalamus and pituitary systems in rat and can suppress the reactivity of central nervous system. In traditional medicine the hypnotic effect of rose is also suggested. In the present study hypnotic effect of ethanolic, aque...

The construction of genetically encoded cellular mimics in compartments containing organized synthetic cytosols is desirable for the development of artificial cells. Phase separated aqueous domains were placed within water-in-oil emulsion droplets in a manner compatible with transcription and translation machinery. Aqueous two-phase and three-phase systems (ATPS and A3PS) were assembled with de...

PURPOSE Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a measure of the balance between the inflow and outflow of the aqueous humor, being in close relationship with the venous ocular blood flow. But the influence of the autonomic nervous system upon this variable is not well understood. One of the most frequently used mathematical tools for the evaluation of the autonomic nervous system in the frequency domain...
