le thème du crime a attiré toujours l’attention des écrivains qui étaient depuis toujours à la recherche des intrigues compliquées et sophistiquées. cette attention est renforcée de plus en plus par le biais des crimes qui restent pour jamais irrésolus non seulement pour ceux ou celles qui les jugent, mais aussi pour ceux ou celles qui les commettent. les crimes commis dans l’étranger d’albert ...

The combination of P4S10 and hexamethyldisiloxane efficiently converts esters, lactones, amides, lactams, and ketones to their corresponding thiono derivatives. In the presence of elemental sulfur, 3-oxoesters are converted to dithiolethiones by this reagent. Yields are comparable to or superior to those obtained with Lawesson's reagent. The method has the advantage that reagent-derived byprodu...

393 primary school children were screened for Schistosoma haematobium using four indirect techniques (a) history of haematuria, (b) visual appearance of urine and use of chemical reagent strips to detect presence of (c) blood and (d) protein in urine. Results showed that the use of chemical reagent strips for the detection of blood was the most specific and sensitive method, even in areas of lo...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of storing commonly used rapid diagnostic tests above manufacturer-recommended temperature (at 37°C), and the accuracy of delayed reading of oral fluid kits with relevance to HIV self-testing programmes. DESIGN A quality assurance study of OraQuick (OraSure), Determine HIV 1/2™ (Alere) and Uni-Gold™ (Recombigen®). METHODS Consecutive adults (≥18y) attending...

To the Editor of the " Indian Hfedical Gazette Sir, A few days since I saw in your paper of tho 1st of last October a letter from Surg.-Major G It. Cos tello, headed "Sulphurous Acid in Cholera." In this letter Surg-Major Costello refers to a letter from him in your Gazette of! November 187G, recommending tho internal use of: Sulphurous acid in solution in cases of: cholera, an 1 in his present...

Replacement of barbiturate buffer by a tris-hydroxymethylaminomethane buffer in the thymol test reagent of Maclagan greatly improves the stability of the reagent. Thymol turbidity measurements made by means of the modified reagent agreed closely with those made with barbiturate-containing reagents. However in hyperlipemic sera, the latter reagent gave higher turbidities. A reaction of barbitura...

Three reagents for detecting indole, Kovac, Ehrlich, and p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMCA), were evaluated with commercial microtest systems for characterizing and identifying anaerobic bacteria. The DMCA reagent, the most sensitive of the three reagents, gave a positive reaction with 445 of 449 strains of various indole-producing anaerobic bacteria. There was 99.6% agreement between the res...

We describe the use of electrogenerated reactants for continuous on-line reaction detection with thin-layer hydrodynamic amperometry. The reagent is introduced into the liquid-chromatographic column effluent at a constant rate by using controlled-current electrochemistry. After the effluent passes through a short reaction coil, the reagent concentration is monitored at the detector. Reaction of...

le fou d'elsa de louis aragon porte de manière de plus ou moins visible la trace et la mémoire d’un héritage littéraire considérable. c'est une création originale à partir de la coexistence d’éléments distincts mais compatibles, qui relèvent de toutes sortes d’influences, d’imprégnations, de réminiscences[1]. c’est un enchevêtrement d’emprunts à la littérature arabe, à l'histoire andalouse du x...
