Kinetic parameters of the ammonolysis reaction of dichloroethane in nonaqueous media are studied and the optimum reaction conditions are reported. A suitable reactor for running the reaction under high pressure in the range of 50 to 500 °C is designed. Kinetic behaviours of the system is studied and other reaction parameters such as rate constant, kinetic order, and activation energy are de...

Determination of sildenafil by various methods and in various media is reviewed in this paper. The methods used consist of ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, thin layer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These methods were used to determine the amount of sildenafil in pharmaceutical preparations, soft drinks, and biological liquids. HPLC was used for evaluation...

An efficient procedure for in vitro shoot production of the medicinal plant sundew (Drosera rotundifolia L.) was developed. Of three cytokinins tested, zeatin (ZEA) at a concentration of 2 μM resulted in the formation of large numbers of adventitious shoots on leaf explants. A larger size of the small shoots was achieved by combining a 2-weeks preculture with ZEA (step 1: shoot induction) with ...

In this work the model of droplets coalescence in liquid/liquid dispersions in flow through fibrous media is proposed. It is derived for the computation cell being a cubicoid that comprises a single mesh gap and equal volumes upstream and downstream, which size corresponds to a packing factor of the filter media. The numerical approach takes into account deposition of droplets on the fibres as ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of implementation of an automated liquid culture system on the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy in an HIV-uninfected patient population. We retrospectively compared the culture yield, time to positivity, and contamination rate of pleural effusion samples in the BACTEC Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube 960 (MGIT) and Ogawa media among patients wi...

We show that high efficiency stimulated Raman scattering can be obtained using hollow core photonic crystal fiber with the core filled with a low refractive index nonlinear liquid. This new architecture opens new perspectives in the development of nonlinear functions as any kind of nonlinear liquid media can now be used to implement them, with original properties not accessible with silica core...

Coccidioides immitis, a dimorphic pathogenic fungus, when grown in vitro on solid or in liquid media, usually forms mycelium with septate hyphae which, upon continued incubation, fragment into numerous arthrospores approximately 2 to 4 A in diameter. No definitive studies on the production of arthrospores in chemically defined liquid media have appeared since the work of Roessler et al. (1946),...

In this paper, the design of a QCM sensor for liquid media measurements in vertical position is described. A rugged and low-cost proof holder has been designed, the cost of which is significantly lower than those of traditional commercial holders. The crystal is not replaceable but it can be easily cleaned. Its small volume permits to be used by dipping it in the liquid with the desired locatio...

effects of three nutritional levels of beet root molasses, cheese permeate, wheat bran extract, rice bran extract and sabouraud,s dextrose broth (sdb) were evaluated for blastospore production by two isolates of beauveria bassiana sensu lato. at an interval of 24 h for seven days. depending on the isolate, maximum blastospore production was obtained in 12% rice bran extract and 20% cheese perme...
