4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy acetic acid (mcpa) is one of the most important pesticides which is extensively used to control weeds in arable farmland. exposure to this compound occurs in general population and persons who occupationally handle it. the aim of this present work was the preparation of mcpa imprinting polymer and its application as a selective sample preparation technique for trace det...

poly urea-formaldehyde was synthesized simply and rapidly from urea and formaldehyde by condensation polymerization and studied for the sorption of trace acid blue from aqueous solution. the optimum ph value for sorption of the acid blue was 4. experimental results showed that the sorption capacity of poly urea-formaldehyde for acid blue was determined. the synthetic polymer can be reused for 5...

The high-yielding synthesis and application of the first polymer supported reagent for the kinetic resolution (KR) of amines through enantioselective acetylation is described; this new supported chiral reagent allows the KR of primary amines with excellent selectivities at room temperature; moreover, this supported approach is highly efficient as the Merrifield-supported chiral scaffold can be ...

We consider the 1D Schrödinger operator Hy = −y′′ + (p+ q)y with a periodic potential p plus compactly supported potential q on the real line. The spectrum of H consists of an absolutely continuous part plus a finite number of simple eigenvalues in each spectral gap γn 6= ∅, n > 0, where γ0 is unbounded gap. We prove the following results: 1) we determine the distribution of resonances in the d...

Objective(s): For cancer cells, an efficient and selective drug delivery vehicle can remarkably improve therapeutic approaches. This paper focuses on the synthesis and characterization of magnetic MnFe2O4 NPs and their incorporation in a dual temperature and pH-responsive polymer, which can serve as an efficient drug carrier. Materials and Methods: MnFe2O4 NPs were synthesized by chemical co-pr...

A sensitive and specific assay for hyaluronate was devised. Hyaluronate contained in biological mixtures was digested with a commercially available microbial hyaluronate lyase. The P-A4,5-eneglucopyranuronic acid residues contained at the nonreducing termini of the resulting oligosaccharides were oxidized with periodic acid to yield, among other products, formyl pyruvic acid. The latter compoun...

When a tensile strain is applied to a film supported on a compliant substrate, a pattern of parallel cracks can channel through both the film and substrate. A linear-elastic fracture-mechanics model for the phenomenon is presented to extend earlier analyses in which cracking was limited to the film. It is shown how failure of the substrate reduces the critical strain required to initiate fractu...
