Advent of pharmacology, combinatorial chemistry and High Through Put Screening offered large number of synthetic drugs as a therapeutic substances. These molecules are potent to elucidate their pharmacological activity. However, pharmacokinetic properties of such molecules are rate limiting factors for its safety as well as efficacy. Most of the synthetic drug available so far in market are eit...

This paper presents the experimental results of an on-going research project on geopolymer lightweight concrete using two locally available waste materials--low calcium fly ash (FA) and oil palm shell (OPS)--as the binder and lightweight coarse aggregate, respectively. OPS was pretreated with three different alkaline solutions of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide, and sodium silicate...

Whole gut perfusion in humans was used to compare the effect on intestinal water and electrolyte transport of the World Health Organisation oral rehydration solution (solution II, composition in mmol/l: glucose 111, sodium 90, bicarbonate 30, potassium 20; 308 mOsm/kg); a hypertonic commercial oral rehydration solution (solution III, glucose 188, sodium 50, bicarbonate 20, potassium 20 mmol/l; ...

BACKGROUND Fluid and sodium balance is important for the success of long-term peritoneal dialysis. Convective transport is the major determinant for sodium removal during peritoneal dialysis using conventional dialysis solutions. However, recent studies showed that lower sodium concentration in dialysate could significantly increase sodium removal by increasing the diffusion gradient, thereby i...

a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design (crd) was performed with three replications to investigate the interaction between salinity and nh+4 / no-3 ratio on olive saplings. four levels of salinity (0, 50, 100,150 mm) and different ratios of nh+4/ no-3 (0:14, 2:12, 4:10, 6:8) were applied on one-year old olive saplings grown in perlite: sand media (1:1). results indicated th...

in the present  paper electrical conductivity (ec) of colloidal gas aphron (cga) suspensions was measured for anionic and cationic surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ttab)). experiments were made for different concentrations of sds (6, 8.1, 10 mm) and ttab (2, 3.51, 5 mm). cga drainage behavior was observed and measured using 1 liter measuring c...
