hydrogen was produced by steam reforming of dimethyl ether (dme) using a physical mixture of commercial hzsm-5 zeolite (for dme hydrolyzing) and cu/zno/al2o3 (for methanol steam reforming) as a catalyst in a fixed bed reactor. the experiments were performed at atmospheric pressure and in a temperature range from 270 to 310 °c. the effects of feed temperature and gas hourly space velocity (ghsv)...

Simple, sensitive, and economical simultaneous volumetric and HPLC methods for the determination of pridinol mesylate in raw material have been developed. The volumetric method is based on the reaction of pridinol with sodium lauryl sulphate in diluted sulphuric acid. Dimethyl yellow was used as indicator to detect the end point of the titration in aqueous/organic layer. The HPLC method for the...

A test method is described for the measurement, under standard conditions, of the amount of dichlorvos (00-dimethyl 2,2-dichlorovinyl phosphate) vapour emitted from insecticide slow-release units. Specimen results, obtained under these conditions, are given for the outputs of several types of unit during the initial 14-d period when output is greatest, with corresponding values for the concentr...

Echinacoside (ECH) is one of the major active phenylethanoid glycosides (PEGs) in famous traditional Chinese medicine, Herba Cistanches. Although it has various bioactivities, such as antioxidation, neuroprotection, and hepatoprotection, knowledge about its metabolic fate is scant. In the present study, eight phase II metabolites, 3,4 -O-dimethyl-ECH-3 -O-beta-d-glucuronide (M1); 4,4 -O-dimethy...

The title complex, [Ni(C(24)H(32)N(4))](C(14)H(14)O(2)PS(2))(2), comprises a centrosymmetric [Ni(meso-diphen-yl[14]dien)](2+) dication (meso-diphen-yl[14]dien is C-meso-N-meso-5,12-dimethyl-7,14-diphenyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-deca-4,11-diene) and two O,O'-bis-(4-methyl-phen-yl) dithio-phosphate anions. The Ni(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is chelated by a tetra-amine macrocyc...

The interactions between beef tRNATrp with avian myeloblastosis reverse transcriptase have been studied by statistical chemical modifications of phosphate (ethylnitrosourea) and cytidine (dimethyl sulfate) residues, as well as by digestion of complexed tRNA by Cobra venom nuclease and Neurospora crassa endonuclease. Results with nucleases and chemicals show that reverse transcriptase interacts ...

A method for isolating sea-urchin zygote mitotic apparatus (MA) is described which is based on the Filner-Behnke method of isolating brain microtubules. MA were isolated in 50 % (v/v) glycerol, 10% (v/v) dimethyl sulphoxide, 5 mM MgCl2, o-i mM EGTA, and 5 mM Sorensen's phosphate buffer at a final pH of 6-8. MA stored at room temperature in isolation medium had stable birefringence, stable micro...
