Antibiotic resistance has been growing at an alarming rate and consequently the activity of antibiotics against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria has dropped dramatically day by day. In this sense there is a strong need to synthesis new substances that not only have good spectrum of activity, but having new mechanisms of action. Inorganic compounds particularly metal complexes have playe...

A corrosion inhibitor was widely used to improve resistance of steel bar in reinforcement concrete structure. kind multi-component inhibitor, which is composed organic and inorganic substances, developed this research. This comparatively studied with various other inhibitors by using open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods. The...

A number of the components of the tissues contain in their molecules either phosphoric or sulfuric acid. The phosphoric acid radicle is contained in the monoand polynucleotides, and the sulfuric acid radicle in chondroitinand mucoitin-sulfuric acids. In all these compounds the acid radicle is linked in ester form to either a carbohydrate or a polyhydric alcohol. On long acquaintance with substa...

Organic phosphorus is an important component of soil biogeochemical cycles, but must be extracted from soil prior to analysis. Here we critically review the extraction of soil organic phosphorus, including procedures for quantification, speciation, and assessment of biological availability. Quantitative extraction conventionally requires strong acids and bases, which inevitably alter chemical s...

In the hurried milieu of operating rooms, emergency departments, and intensive care units, contaminated sphygmomanometers (blood pressure cuffs) may not be routinely sanitized or replaced with clean cuffs between patient use. Previous investigations, though few in number, have identified blood pressure cuffs as potential sources of nosocomial infection or vehicles for transmission of contagion ...

Activated carbons can adsorb a wide variety of substances. This is the reason why they are used in canisters to guarantee the safety of the people. The use of the canisters is dependent on several parameters which makes it interesting if the safety margins of the filter can be predicted. The Wheeler-Jonas equation is a well-known predictive equation for describing organic vapour breakthrough ti...

The need for identification of soil microbial community mainly depends on direct extraction of DNA from soil, a multifaceted environment that is a major pool for microbial genetic diversity. The soil DNA extraction procedures usually suffer from two major problems, namely, inappropriate rupturing of cells and contamination with humic substances. In the present study, five protocols for single t...
