During the course of our systematic study of water molecule interactions, 1 we recently examined the potential energy surface for the neon atom-water molecule pair. 2 That examination produced an unanticipated feature, namely that a linear hydrogen bond forms, with the neon atom acting as a proton acceptor. By conventional standards,3 that hydrogen bond is weak (0.17 kcal/mole), and would there...

in the present work, an extensive theoretical calculation study on histidine-histidine dipeptide in gas phase is done by using dft method with gaussian 98 program. through investigations on the molecular geometries of this molecule it is found that there is six rings in the molecules not two rings. the presence of four intramolecular hydrogen bonds is responsible for the formation of additional...

background: to estimate the prevalence of small intestine bacterial overgrowth (sibo) among patients with irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) versus healthy subjects with the use of a glucose breath test (gbt) in our geographical area. materials and methods: this study included a total of 80 consecutive patients; 40 with ibs based on rome iii criteria and 40 healthy controls with similar age and sex...

introduction: the prevalence of chronic diseases increases with age. increased production of reactive oxygen species (ros) involves in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetic vascular complications, and heart failure. the present study aimed to explore the effects of resistance training on plasma hydrogen peroxide level of ageing wome...

background: acute methanol poisoning is one of the most important chemical poisoning due to drinking of illegal and handmade alcoholic beverages in iran. the aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and biochemical parameters as prognostic factor in acute methanol poisoning. methods: a retrospective study was performed on acute methanol poisoning cases admitted to the loghman hakim hospital p...

wastewater from molasses processing contains a large amount of coloured substances that give a recalcitrant dark brown colour and high organic load to the effluent. photocatalytic decolourization of molasses wastewater was performed using titanium dioxide catalyst coated on the surface of south african natural zeolite using the solid-solid dispersion method. addition of hydrogen peroxide as an ...

the safety of hydrogen generation facilities is the main concern in their process operation. this study was conducted to identify the hazards and evaluate the risks of a hydrogen generation plant. for this purpose, prha (process hazard analysis) was applied for hazard identification while lopa (layer of protection analysis) was used for risk assessment. the study was conducted in the hydrogen p...
