The present study was conducted based on the fish species and physicochemical parameters of Eğirdir Lake. Sampling was carried out monthly from January through December 2010 between 9 am and 11 am. The parameters measured were water temperature, depth, secchi disk depth, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, saturation of dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, chloride, hardness, calcium, magnesium, bicarb...

Sandwich-structured composite zeolite membranes with enhanced hydrogen selectivity were prepared on porous α-Al(2)O(3) supports by using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as an interlayer.

Nano-silica-bonded 3-n-propyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride (nano-SB-[PSIM]Cl) was applied as a highly efficient, general and heterogeneous catalyst for one pot multi-component reaction of 2-naphthol, arylaldehydes, and thioacetamide leading to 1-thioamidolakyl-2-naphthols. All reactions proceeded with excellent yields in short times under solvent-free conditions. Our protocol was superi...

In the crystal structure of the title salt, C(8)H(12)NO(+)·Cl(-), the methoxy group of the cation is co-planar with the phenylene moiety with an r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane of only 0.005 Å. The ammonium N atom deviates from this plane by 1.403 (1) Å. In the crystal, the (4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)methan-aminium cations and chloride anions are linked by N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulti...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to determine whether preimplantation exposure of mouse embryos to ammonium resulted in abnormal fetal development and to evaluate similar risks to the outcome of human assisted conception. METHODS Mouse embryos cultured from the 1-cell stage were exposed to 0.3 mmol/l ammonium chloride for 3 days. Embryos cultured from the 2-cell stage were exposed to 0....

Au nanoparticles decorated with mononuclear Ti-oxo units dispersed in silica clusters were formed by activating Au nanoparticles (~2 nm) stabilized with Ti- and amine-functionalized siloxane oligomers. These Au nanoparticles were active catalysts for selective oxidation of propane to acetone, and the activity increased with increasing Ti density.

Preparation and crystallization G6-amylase from alkalophilic Bacillus sp.707 was expressed by Bacillus subtilis 207-25. The enzyme was crystallized by the hanging drop vapor diffusion method using the reservoir solution containing 50% (v/v) 2methylpentane-2, 4-diol, 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5) and 200 mM ammonium phosphate. Calcium chloride and sodium chloride were added to final 1 mM in the drop ...

3-Monochloro-1,2-propane diol is a suspected carcinogen found in hydrolysed vegetable protein products such as soy sauce. A method is described for the analysis of 3-monochloro-1,2-propane diol in soy sauce by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry at a concentration range of 1-5000 ng g-1 using 4-heptanone as the derivatizing ketone and 3-monochloro-1,2-propane diol-d5 as the internal standard. ...

We demonstrate a guided self-assembly approach to the fabrication of DNA nanostructures on silicon substrates. DNA oligonucleotides self-assemble into "rafts" 8 x 37 x 2 nm in size. The rafts bind to cationic SAMs on silicon wafers. Electron-beam lithography of a thin poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resist layer was used to define trenches, and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), a cationi...
