program prior to designing and conducting toxicology studies. The purpose of the research concept document is to outline the general elements of a research program that would address the specific public health concerns that prompted the nomination of the substance or issue for study. It may also encompass substance-specific studies that address larger public health issues or topics in toxicolog...

The title compound, C(11)H(16)O(7), was obtained from the breakage reaction of the glycosidic bond of 5'-de-oxy-2',3'-diacetyl-inosine. The ribofuran-ose ring has a C2-exo, C3-endo twist configuration. No alteration of the relative configuration compared with d-(-)-ribose is observed.

Automated and manual direct methods for the determination of urea in blood or serum are described. These methods determine urea by the colored product formed when urea, in relatively weak acid solution, reacts with diacetyl monoxime in the presence of thiosemicarbazide and ferric ion. Results are compared with those obtained by urease conversion of urea to ammonia and measurement of the ammonia...

Mononuclear and dinuclear square planar palladium(II) complexes (denoted by [(hfac)Pd(II)(L-LH)] and [(hfac)Pd(II)(L-L)Pd(II)(hfac)], respectively) were synthesized. Here hfac(-), HL-L(-) and L-L(2-) denote hexafluoroacetylacetonato, monoprotonated and non-protonated bis-β-diketonato ligands, respectively. Three bis-β-diketones were used as HL-LH: 1,2-diacetyl-1,2-dibenzoylethane (denoted by da...
