A quintuply bonded dichromium complex stabilized by aminopyridinato ligands activates CO2 and SO2 by reducing the (formal) bond order of the metal-metal bonds. Oxygen abstraction is observed during CO2 activation. SO2 activation proceeds via formation of a unique dithionite complex/coordination. Furthermore, N2O activation was investigated and the formation of a tetrameric Cr-oxo complex was ob...

The site occupation in the Cr-Ru and Cr-Os phases is computed as a function of temperature. Generally, in phases the larger atoms occupy the sites with larger coordinations numbers, as can be explained on the basis of atomic-size and electronic structure. However, for Cr2Ru and Cr2Os the atomic-size argument predicts that Ru and Os occupy the sites with larger coordination numbers, whereas the ...

The pollutant Cr(VI) is known to be very carcinogenic. In conditions of excess of Cr(VI), oxidation of D-galacturonic acid (Galur), the major metabolite of pectin, yields d-galactaric acid (Galar) and Cr(III). The redox reaction takes place through a multistep mechanism involving formation of intermediate Cr(II/IV) and Cr(V) species. The mechanism combines one- and two-electron pathways for the...

background: the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the cognitive impairment and naa/cr and cho/cr ratios in the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1hmrs), and to assess the importance of 1hmrs in the early diagnosis of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic white matter lesions (wmls). materials and methods: a total of 45 patients (23males and 22 femal...

the potential of citrobacter freundii, a gram negative bacteria for the remediation of hexavalentchromium (cr(vi)) and trivalent chromium (cr(iii)) from aqueous solutions was investigated. bioremediationof cr(vi) involved both biosorption and bioreduction processes, as compared to only biosorption processobserved with respect to cr(iii) bioremediation. in the case of cr(vi) bioremediation studi...

Hexavalent chromium (Cr[VI]) is associated with occupational lung cancer and poses a significant public health concern. When exposed to Cr[VI], cells rapidly internalize this compound and metabolize it to Cr[III]. Byproducts of Cr[VI] metabolism include unstable Cr[V] and Cr[IV] intermediates that are believed to be directly responsible for the genotoxicity and carcinogenicity caused by Cr[VI] ...

Objective: The present study’s is to develop floating drug delivery system of repaglinide. Methods: Moringa gum, Repaglinide, HPMC K100M, Sodium alginate, Calcium Carbonate, Citrate. obtained formulation was evaluated for content, pH, in vitro gelling capacity, buoyancy studies, and dissolution studies. Results Discussion: All the total F1-F12 formulations showed pH ranging from 5.1 7.9, lag ti...

This report describes additional studies of the lyo and desmo components of esterase, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase, and beta-glucuronidase. The techniques used have already been reported (7). Enzyme diffusion occurs to different degrees in different fixatives, and varies somewhat with each enzyme. Loss of enzymatic activity during fixation occurs as a result of...

Cr-Ni coatings with the mass ratios of 17% Cr-83% Ni, 20% Cr-80% Ni and 24% Cr-76% Ni were fabricated on H13 hot work mould steel using a laser cladding (LC). The surface-interface morphologies, chemical elements, surface roughness and phase composition of the obtained Cr-Ni coatings were analysed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), atomic force micro...

CR-Prolog is an extension of the knowledge representation language A-Prolog. The extension is built around the introduction of consistency-restoring rules (cr-rules for short), and allows an elegant formalization of events or exceptions that are unlikely, unusual, or undesired. The flexibility of the language has been extensively demonstrated in the literature, with examples that include planni...
