In this article, simple, convenient synthesis of 2-aryl-1- arylmethyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazole (1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles) via condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehydes using SBA-Pr-SO3H as a nanoporous solid acid catalyst in green protocol was reported.

a general synthetic route for the synthesis of 1,2-dihydro-1-aryl-naphtho[1,2-e][1,3]oxazine-3-one derivatives has been developed using perlite-so3h nanoparticles as efficient catalyst under both microwave-assisted and thermal solvent-free conditions. the combination of 2-naphthol, aldehyde and urea enabled the synthesis of 1,2-dihydro-1-aryl-naphtho[1,2-e][1,3]oxazine-3-one derivatives in the ...

Monoclonal antibodies directed against functional sites of proteins provide useful tools for structure-function studies. Here we describe a mAb, KOK5, directed against the heavy chain region of human coagulation factor XII (FXII), which inhibits kaolin-induced clotting activity by preventing the binding of FXII to kaolin. Furthermore, mAb KOK5 enhances FXII susceptibility for cleavage by kallik...

OBJECTIVE Acupuncture has been shown to be effective for the treatment of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting. The aim of this study was to explore the mechanisms of action underlying the anti-emetic effect of electroacupuncture (EA). DESIGN Forty-eight rats received saline (n=12) or 6 mg/kg cisplatin (n=36) to establish a chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting model. EA was performed ...

BACKGROUND Thromboelastography® (TEG) utilizes kaolin, an intrinsic pathway activator, to assess clotting function. Recent published studies suggest that TEG results are commonly normal in patients receiving warfarin, despite an increased International Normalized Ratio (INR). Because RapidTEG™ includes tissue factor, an extrinsic pathway activator, as well as kaolin, we hypothesized that RapidT...

This paper presents the assessment of consolidation and creep settlements an isolated circular footing supported on soft clay samples reinforced with a single granular column. Clay (300 mm dia., 400 high) were formed from reconstituted kaolin remoulded sleech (exhibiting significant creep). These tested using chambers various features to capture settlement under constant foundation loading. In ...
