An oscillatory capillary rheometer was used to investigate the effects of NaCl, KCl, and CaCl2 on visco-elastic properties of xanthan and locust bean gum (LBG) blends in dilute solution. Gums were evaluated for intrinsic viscosity and elastic component. Molecular conformation of the xanthan–LBG complex was assessed by the power-law and Huggins equations. Addition of any of the three salts reduc...

In an attempt to identify potential new agents that are active against HIV-1, a series of novel pyridopyrimidine-5-carbohydrazide derivatives featuring a substituted benzylidene fragment were designed and synthesized based on the general pharmacophore of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. The cytotoxicity profiles of these compounds showed no significant toxicity to human cells and they exhibited anti...

That particles are of less than 100nm in diameter called nano particles (NPS) and there are in the world naturally like volcanic activity. In the present investigation a new mixed halomercurate nano particle compound was synthesised and characterized. Triphenylphosphonium trichloromercorate (II) [P(C6H5)3H]+[HgCl3]- nanoparticle was synthesi -zed by using triphenylphosphonium chloride reaction ...

In data-centric sensor networks, where data processing and transfer are oblivious to node IDs, conventional node-based security models are not suitable. We introduce the novel concept of secure locations to address non-cooperative and malicious behavior in location-aware sensor networks. Our architecture also introduces a scalable trust-based routing protocol (TRANS) to track, update and route ...

To obtain drugs which are more selective at benzodiazepine (BZD) receptors, design and synthesis of functionally selective ligands for BZD receptors is the current strategy of our pharmaceutical chemistry department. The affinity of newly synthesized ligands is assessed by radioligand receptor binding assays. Based on our previous studies, 2-phenyl-5-oxo-7-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolo[a,2,3]-pyrimid...

synthesis and characterization of 6-(hydroxymethyl)-14, 16-dimethyl-13, 14, 16, 17-tetrahydro-6h-13, 17-epiminodibenzo [e, l] [1, 4] dioxacyclotridecin-15 (7h)-oneabstractnew 6-(hydroxymethyl)-14, 16-dimethyl-13, 14, 16, 17-tetrahydro-6h-13, 17-epiminodibenzo [e, l] [1, 4] dioxacyclotridecin-15 (7h)-one (2a) was synthesized in good yield by the petrenko–kritchenko reaction of 2, 2'-((3-hydroxyp...

learning vocabulary constitutes a crucial step in language learning. amongst different word categories, compound words have failed to attract the attention they deserve. this led us to conduct a study trying to pinpoint the difficulties learning these words and to suggest some techniques facilitating their acquisition. to that effect, a questionnaire as well as a vocabu-lary test were given to ...
