Interest in urinary 8i-glucuronidase has recently developed from the work of Boyland, Wallace, and Williams (1955), who found high levels of this enzyme in the urine of patients with carcinoma of the bladder. The method used by these authors was modified from that of Talalay, Fishman, and Huggins (1946). After a careful study of the following points, however, it was found necessary to reinvesti...

views of these tests have been presented by Hom burger (7) and Huggins (8). With the possible exception of the serum acid phosphatase test for carcinoma of the prostate demonstrated by Gutman and Gutman (6) and the improved methods of cytological examination of fluids developed by Papanicolaou and Trant (10), none of these tests can be considered to be as reliable as a biopsy. Most recently, th...

Molar excess Volumes, Vijk and speeds of sound , uijk of 2-pyrrolidinone (i) + benzene or toluene (j) + ethanol (k) ternary mixture have been measured as a function of composition at 308.15 K. The observed speeds of sound data have been utilized to determine excess isentropic compressiblities, ( E S κ )ijk of ternary (i + j + k) mixtures. Molar excess volumes, Vijk and excess isentropic compres...

Abstract Five simulation models of chloroprene rubber (CR)/polyurethane (PU) with different composition ratios (9/1, 8/2, 7/3, 6/4, 5/5) are constructed and simulated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The effects PU content on blend compatibility mechanical properties investigated solubility parameters, the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter, binding energy, glass transition temperatur...

The rational development of sustainable polymeric materials demands tunable properties using mixtures polymers with chemical variations. At the same time, sheer number potential variations and combinations makes experimentally or numerically studying every new mixture impractical. A direct predictive tool quantifying how material change when molecular features provides a less time- resource-con...

Effects of light intensity gradient on development of intricate hierarchical morphology of semicrystalline polyethylene oxide (PEO) and photoreactive diacrylate (DA) blends undergoing photopolymerization-induced crystallization have been demonstrated experimentally and theoretically. The melting temperature of PEO was found to decline upon addition of DA monomer. A solid-liquid phase diagram ha...
