Considerable effort has been put into characterizing the ionic composition of fogs and clouds over the past twenty-five years. Recently it has become evident that clouds and fogs often contain large concentrations of organic material as well. Here we report findings from a series of studies examining the organic composition of radiation fogs in central California. Organic compounds in these fog...

Hyatt, Mildred T. (Pioneering Research Division. U.S. Army Natick Laboratories, Natick, Mass.), and Hillel S. Levinson. Effect of sugars and other carbon compounds on germination and postgerminative development of Bacillus megaterium spores. J. Bacteriol. 88:1403-1415. 1964.-A total of 77 carbon-containing compounds were tested for their ability to support germination and postgerminative develo...

of an internal rotation; the greater time for the carbon compound indicates some frictional resistance to rotation. Both dimethoxy compounds have similar relaxation times, as also have the tetramethoxy compounds. The greater size and substantially higher dipole moments of the silicon compounds, however, should produce a proportionately greater contribution from the molecular tumbling motion. Th...

background & aims of the study: nitrogenous compounds could directly create many problems for human's health and the environment. thus, removal of nitrogenous compounds is necessary. among the most important problems, decreasing dissolved oxygen, toxicity for aquatics, eutrophication, converting aerobic medium into anaerobic one and corrosion could be noted. the aim of this study was deter...

II. The Foundations of Organic Chemistry A. The branch of chemistry specializing in the study of carbon compounds. 1. Organic molecules are molecules containing carbon. 2. Called organic molecules because these compounds were only found in living beings. 3. Vitalism a. Belief in a life force outside the jurisdiction of chemical/physical laws. b. Organic chemistry in early 19th century was built...

A previously unidentified class of compounds has been isolated from the regurgitant of the grasshopper species Schistocerca americana. These compounds (named here "caeliferins") are composed of saturated and monounsaturated sulfated alpha-hydroxy fatty acids in which the omega-carbon is functionalized with either a sulfated hydroxyl or a carboxyl conjugated to glycine via an amide bond. The reg...

Introduction: Active packaging is one of the innovations in food packaging industry that would be a respons to the changing needs of consumers and markets. In this technique, materials such as adsorbents oxygen, moisture, carbon dioxide, ethylene and carbon dioxide-releasing flavor compounds, antimicrobials, antioxidants and various aromatic compounds are used. In the last deca...

Carbon]carbon bond formation is the essence of organic synthesis and the reductive dimerization of carbonyl derivatives is a most valuable method for establishing carbon]carbon bonds. Since the time Kagan demonstrated a simple preparation of samarium diiodide from samarium metal and 1,2-diiodoethane, SmI2 has been developed as a mild, neutral and versatile single electron transfer reductant. It...
