Many cell-free hemoglobin solutions designed as oxygen-carrying therapeutics produce a hypertensive effect in animals. The response is likely due to oxidation of nitric oxide by hemoglobin. Since the site of oxidation may lie outside the vascular compartment, we tested the hypothesis that polymerization of hemoglobin, rHb1.1, by glutaraldehyde would attenuate the hypertensive response. Two prod...

The understanding of electrocatalytic activity and poisoning resistance properties Pt Pd nanoparticles, recognized as the best electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation reaction, is an essential step commercialization direct fuel cells (DEFCs). In this paper, mono bimetallic nanoparticles with different atomic ratios have been synthesized to study their reaction in alkaline solutions. were physioc...

A redox-switchable ligand, N,N'-dimethyldiaminocarbene[3]ferrocenophane (5), was synthesized and incorporated into a series of Ir- and Ru-based complexes. Electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses of (5)Ir(CO)2Cl (15) revealed that 5 displayed a Tolman electronic parameter value of 2050 cm(-1) in the neutral state and 2061 cm(-1) upon oxidation. Moreover, inspection of X-ray crystallography da...

At present, partial oxidation is applied in the filtration processes of biomass hot gas to aid solving blockage problems caused by tar and dust condensates. However, resulting high-temperature oxygen-limited environment, risk polymerization forming soot created during purification processes. Thus, this work established a hardware-in-the-loop simulation model using Lagrangian method coupled with...

Iron particle coating can improve the behavior of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) by inhibiting iron particle rusting; however, such a process can change physical properties of MREs such as oxidation resistance, shear modulus, and stiffness change due to an applied magnetic field. In this study, MRE samples are fabricated with regular and polymerized iron particles. To investigate the poss...

A process is described in which toxic aromatic compounds are converted by toluene dioxygenase and in turn toluene cis-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase to catechols which are further polymerized by peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation producing polycatechols. Three approaches for obtaining catechols were employed: (1) addition of halogenated aromatics to P. putida F1, resulting in the accumulation of halogen...
