the purpose of this study was to determine the therapeutic efficacy of citric and tartaric acids on experimental dermatophytosis in guinea pigs. in this study, the susceptibility of trichophyton mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes to citric and tartaric acids was assessed using the macrodilution broth method. in the animal experiments, a cream consisting of the mixed acids was topically applied ...

Hydration of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in the presence of tartaric acid has been studied by using different techniques. Calorimetric studies have shown a rapid enhanced heat evolution within 5 min of hydration in presence of 1.0 wt% tartaric acid with a strong retardation of silicate phase hydration. DSC and X-ray diffraction studies have confirmed the formation of calcium tartarate hydrat...

The solution structure and thermal stability of human prostatic acid phosphatase (hPAP) in the absence and in the presence of tartaric acid were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The temperature dependence of the infrared spectrum and DSC scans indicate that hPAP undergoes thermal unfolding at a temperature between 49.5 and 52...

Submicrometer patterns of adjacent, well-ordered and disordered domains were obtained using optical lithography by area-selective, photoinduced disordering transitions within block copolymer composite films. Enantiopure tartaric acid was blended with poly(ethylene oxide-block-tert-butyl acrylate), PEO-b-PtBA, copolymers to yield well-ordered films. In the presence of triphenylsulfonium triflate...

Until recently no accurate method existed for the quantitative determination of small amounts of tartaric acid in the urine. In 1931 Underhill, Peterman, and Krause (1) reported a calorimetric method based upon the reaction between metavanadates and tartaric acid in which a golden red color results. We are able to report upon its accuracy, for this identical method was developed independently b...

Urinary stone is one of the oldest and the most common afflictions in humans, animals and birds. A number of people suffer from urinary stones. Brushite or calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (CHPD) crystals are frequently found in urinary stones. Many fruits contain high amount of tartaric acid. Therefore, the effect of tartaric acid on the growth of CHPD crystals is presented in this article...

The chemisorption of two chiral molecules, propylene oxide and glycidol, is studied on tartaric-acid modified Pd(111) surfaces by using temperature-programmed desorption to measure adsorbate coverage. It is found that R-glycidol shows preferential enantioselective chemisorption on (S,S)-tartaric acid modified Pd(111) surfaces, while propylene oxide does not adsorb enantioselectively. The enanti...

(2R,3R)-2,3-Diaminobutane-1,4-diol 6 and its dibenzyl ether 7 were efficiently synthesized starting from L-tartaric acid 1a. The crucial step, debenzylation of intermediate dibenzyloxydiazide 4, was accomplished in good yield by boron trichloride–dimethyl sulfide complex. The enantiomeric series was similarly obtained starting from D-tartaric acid. c 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd
