Experimental studies of surface tension and density by the maximum bubble pressure method and dilatometric technique were undertaken and the accumulated data for liquid pure components, binary, ternary and multicomponent alloys were used to create the SURDAT data base for Pb-free soldering materials. The data base enabled, also to compare the experimental results with those obtained by the Butl...

Pharmacokinetic differences between piperaquine (PQ) base and PQ tetraphosphate were investigated in 34 Papua New Guinean children aged 5 to 10 years treated for uncomplicated malaria with artemisinin-PQ (ART-PQ) base or dihydroartemisinin-PQ (DHA-PQ) tetraphosphate. Twelve children received ART-PQ base (two daily doses of 3 mg of ART and 18 mg of PQ base as granules/kg of body weight) as recom...

sloshing is a well-known phenomenon in liquid storage tanks subjected to base or body motions. in recent years the use of multiple vertical baffles for reducing the sloshing effects in tanks subjected to earthquake has not been taken into consideration so much. on the other hand, although some of the existing computer programs are capable to model sloshing phenomenon with acceptable accuracy, t...

A Schiff base dicarboxylic acid (1) was prepared by condensation of 2-hydroxy-1naphthaldehyde with 5-aminoisophthalic acid. Its solvates with pyridine (2a and 2b) and dimethylformamide (3) were prepared by liquid-assisted grinding and by conventional solvent-based methods. All products were characterised by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Th...

The synthesis of magnetically separable quasi-homogeneous base catalyst and heterogeneous base catalyst is described. The quasi-homogeneous catalyst is achieved by supporting silane monomers functionalized with different amine groups directly on the surface of magnetite nanoparticles. The heterogeneous catalyst is prepared via a sol-gel process in which silane monomers containing different amin...

The DNA molecule is the support of the genetic information. It is a right-handed double helix, 22 angstrom in diameter, and 50 nm in the persistence length. The two strands of the helix are complementary in their nucleotide sequence with about 10 nucleotide pairs per helical turn. DNA is a long and strongly charged heteropolymer. It bears on average one elementary negative charge per each 0.17 ...

Experimental A stainless steel ultra high vacuum (UHV) chamber, pumped by a turbo molecular pump backed by a mechanical pump, providing a base pressure of 5X10 torr after bake out, was used for temperature programmed desorption (TPD) experiments with a typical heating rate of 2.5 K/s. Samples could be cooled below 100 K via a liquid nitrogen dewar and heated up to 1300 K via resistive heating. ...

The interactions between liquid targets and plasmas provided by a d.c. point-to-plane corona device operated under p = 1 atm. are considered in terms of both Bronsted and Lewis acid-base reactions. The treatments of aqueous solutions by the chargeless species of air or NH3 plasmas increase the Bronsted acidity of the target, and for an air plasma, the pH decrease is a linear function of the qua...

The solid–liquid equilibrium (SLE) behavior and liquid–liquid extraction (LLX) abilities of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) containing (a) thymol L-menthol, (b) trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) L-menthol were evaluated. distribution coefficients (KD) determined for the solutes relevant two biorefinery cases, including formic acid, levulinic furfural, acetic propionic butyric L-lactic acid. Overall,...

Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography is a relatively new method by which heteroduplex structures formed during the PCR amplification of heterozygote samples can be rapidly identified. The use of this technology for mutation detection in hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) has the potential to appreciably shorten the time it takes to analyze genes associated with this...
