Palladium (II) coordination complexes catalyze the reaction of alcohols with ketones to yield ethers. During the catalytic cycle, the alcohol adds selectively to the β-carbon (anti-Markovnikov). In this work, mechanism and kinetics for the reaction of methanol with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), being catalyzed by Pd, has been theoretically investigated in detail. Using quantum mechanical approach,...

The Silver SPR chip was modified by alkaline-silane condensation with aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) in NaOH aqueous solution at different times. Silver sputtered slides coated with APTES were immersed in NaOH solution, enabling us to produce silver surfaces homogeneously covered with APTES. The surface properties of grafted APTES on sputtered silver surface as a occasion of time were studi...

An efficient solventless one-pot procedure for the synthesis of imidazolium-based ionic liquid under microwave irradiation is described in which 1-methylimidazole was modified by organosilane (3-chloropropyl triethoxysilane). This ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-[(triethoxysilyl)propyl]imidazolium chloride (TMICl) is immobilized on Mechanically activated Fly Ash (MFA) by co-condensation method to d...

The aim of this work was to synthesize TiC reinforced coating on carbon steel via reduction of ilmenite powder. A mixture of ilmenite and graphite was pre-placed on AISI 1020 steel surface. The effect of the addition of excess graphite amounts on the progress of synthesis of carbide particles was studied. The evolution of phases in different coatings was analysed via X-ray diffraction and scann...

By consideration of unique properties of composite Al2O3-ZrO2 such as high toughness, high wear resistant and relative low thermal expansion, in this study, nanocomposite of Al2O3-ZrO2 was produced by Mechanical activated Self propagating High-temperature Synthesis (MASHS) using laser beam for ignition. First Al and ZrO2 powders were mixed in the mole ratio of 1:1 and milled for 1, 3 and 6 hour...

Activated carbon (AC) and activated fibers (ACFs) are materials with a large specific surface area excellent physical adsorption properties due to their rich porous structure, they used as electrode improve the performance of adsorbents or capacitors. Recently, multiple studies have confirmed applicability AC/polymer compo-sites in various fields by exploiting unique chemical AC. As mechanical ...

PURPOSE. Anterior chamber structures are subjected to changes in intraocular pressure (IOP). Several studies have pointed out that trabecular meshwork (TM) cells are sensitive to mechanical stretch and that cell-signaling mechanisms are activated in response to elevated pressure. Because membrane stretch has been shown to be a modulator of several ionic conductances, this study was conducted to...

The utilization potential of citric acid, sodium tetraborate decahydrate and triphosphate pentabasic to control fresh state properties silicate-activated alkali-activated slag cements (AASC) has been studied. early structural build-up, reaction kinetics, pore solution chemistry, setting behavior, hardened such as microstructure, structure, mechanical AASC with these chemicals were investigated....

Effective protocols are introduced for parthenogenesis activation in oocytes. Hydrostatic pressure can act as a mechanical stimulator that rearranges egg contents, leading to new structural or molecular combination. Alternatively, mechanical stimulation could stimulate a mechanically-gated process, such as opening or closing of stretch activated ion channels. This study, investigated the use of...

Exacerbated sensitivity to mechanical stimuli that are normally innocuous or mildly painful (mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia) occurs during inflammation and underlies painful diseases. Proteases that are generated during inflammation and disease cleave protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) on afferent nerves to cause mechanical hyperalgesia in the skin and intestine by unknown mechanisms. ...
