A one-year study was performed at the Vavihill background station in southern Sweden to estimate the anthropogenic contribution to the carbonaceous aerosol. Weekly samples of the particulate matter PM10 were collected on quartz filters, and the amounts of organic carbon, elemental carbon, radiocarbon (14C) and levoglucosan were measured. This approach enabled source apportionment of the total c...

Phosphate solublization activity of Bacillus subtilis in different carbon and nitrogen sources with insoluble form of phosphate sources like tricalcium phosphate and rock phosphate were studied. TCP solubilization with different carbon sources irrespective of incubation period can be related in the following order: glucose, fructose, arabinose, mannose, sucrose, lactose, and sorbitol. The pH dr...

since renaissance, the natural ecosystems have fallen into a complete state ofdisarray due to the rise in the amount of carbon dioxide. soil, the unsparing stuff, is one of themajor sources of carbon storage, and plays a paramount role in the global equilibrium ofcarbon as well as carbon sequestration. given that iran is benefiting from vast steppes, therate of carbon sequestration in them dese...

abstract the utility of carbon paste electrode for the determination of flavoxate hcl modified with flavoxate-tetraphenylborate (flx-tpb) and flavoxate-phosphotungestic acid (flx-pta) ion-pairs in batch mode is demonstrated. the electrodes revealed a nernstian response over a wide concentration ranges 1.39×10-5-1x10-2 mol l-1 and1×10-5-1x10-2 mol l-1 using flx-tpb and flx-pta, respectively. the...

Michael addition is an important reaction because it can be used to synthesize a wide range of natural products or complex compounds that exhibit biological activities. In this study, mirror image aldehyde and α,β-unsaturated nitroalkene were reacted in the presence (R,R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (DPEN). Herein, thiourea was introduced as organic catalyst, selective carried out. The primary ...

Abstract The utility of carbon paste electrode for the determination of flavoxate HCl modified with flavoxate-tetraphenylborate (FLX-TPB) and flavoxate-phosphotungestic acid (FLX-PTA) ion-pairs in batch mode is demonstrated. The electrodes revealed a Nernstian response over a wide concentration ranges 1.39×10-5-1x10-2 mol L-1 and1×10-5-1x10-2 mol L-1 using FLX-TPB and FLX-PTA, respectively. The...

the impact of phenolic-contaminated water on microbial community structure was assessed using biolog microarrays techniques. the following biolog plates were used: gen iii plates, new test panel for identification of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, ecoplates microarray for evaluation of functional diversity of microbial communities and phenotype microarrays (pms) for characteriza...

Reductive metabolism of the aromatic nitro group of 5-nitrofurans is thought to be an important step in the mechanism of their toxicity. Microsomal nitroreductase activity with p-nitrobenzoic acid and N-[4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-thiazolyl[formamide (FANFT) as substrates was assessed in the renal cortex, outer medulla, inner medulla, bladder transitional epithelial and non-epithelial bladder tissue...
