in this paper, polyacrylamide/chromium acetate gel polymer system was prepared as water shut-off system to control water production in one of the iranian oil reservoirs condition. effect of various parameters such as temperature (90 °c) and water formation from view point of salinity and divalent cations, was evaluated on the gelation kinetic and gel strength using bottle testing method. the re...

a proton nmr method for the drtermination of salvation numbers of alkaline earth cations with hexamethyl phosphoramide (hmpa) in nitromethane (nm) as diluents is described. the method is based on monitoring the resonance frequency of hmpa protons as a function of hmpa / metal ion molar ratio at constant metalion concentration. the average salvation number of cations,  , at any hmpa / metal ion ...

Unlike human erythrocytes, those from avian species, such as turkeys and chicks, rapidly incorporate myo-[3H]inositol into membrane phospholipids. The mechanisms regulating [3H]Ins labelling of phosphatidylinositol have been investigated using turkey erythrocyte membranes. In the absence of added nucleotides, [3H]inositol incorporation appears to proceed via phosphatidylinositol/inositol exchan...

K-stimulated (voltage-dependent) influx of 45Ca was measured in synaptosomes (isolated presynaptic nerve terminals) from rat brain. Influx was terminated at 1 s with a rapid-filtration technique, so that most of the Ca uptake was mediated by inactivating ("fast") Ca channels (Nachshen, D. A., and Blaustein, M. P., 1980, J. Gen. Physiol., 76:709-728). This influx was blocked by multivalent catio...

Besides the most common form of aromaticity involving a π-ring, hexaiodobenzene and hexakis(phenylselenyl)benzene dications also present σ-aromaticity in outer ring formed by main group substituents. These two compounds are considered σ- π-double aromatic, their characterization is special interest to fields organic structural chemistry. In this work, we decided explore double substituted tropy...

The RNA-dependent DNA polymerase of Rous sarcoma virus is inhibited by N-methyl isatin beta-thiosemicarbazone and by thiosemicarbazide, but not by semicarbazide. These inhibitors also inactivate, upon contact with the virion, the transforming ability of Rous sarcoma virus. Sulfhydryl donors, such as 2-mercapto-ethanol, can prevent these effects. The RNA-directed activity of the purified polymer...
