The effect of the neutral surfactant dodecylamine and octadecylamine on the synthesis of TiO2-based nanostructures by the treatment of anatase with NaOH under hydrothermal conditions in the temperature range 120-150 degrees C and different reaction times was investigated. The products analyzed by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, FT-IR and elemental analysis contains--depending of the ami...

Mixed-potential gas sensors with a proton conductor consisting of zinc metaphosphate glass and benzimidazole were fabricated for the detection of hydrogen produced by intestinal bacteria in dry and humid air. The gas sensor consisting of an alumina substrate with platinum and gold electrodes showed good response to different hydrogen concentrations from 250 parts per million (ppm) to 25,000 ppm...

Effects of extrusion cooking and low-temperature storage on the physicochemical changes and resistant starch (RS) content in cornstarch were evaluated. The cornstarch was conditioned at 20%-40% moisture contents and extruded in the range 90-130 °C and at screw speeds in the range 200-360 rpm. The extrudates were stored at 4 °C for 120 h and then at room temperature. The water absorption, solubi...

[FeII(LHiPr)2(NCS)2] (LHiPr = N-2-pyridylmethylene-4-isopropylaniline) showed an abrupt spin-crossover (SCO) at T1/2↓ = 154 K on cooling and at T1/2↑ = 167 K on heating. The thermal hysteresis with a width of 13 K is related with the structural solid-state phase transition. The space group was unchanged as P21/n with Z = 8, and there are two crystallographically independent molecules in a unit ...

prediction of available vapor pressure data in the case of compounds containing c-h-o led to derivations and recommendations of standard equations for this property. the accuracy of vapor pressure estimations is essential to use as a basis to calculate acentric factor, thermal and equilibrium properties. in this study, according to the previous work, an accurate equation to estimate vapor press...

The present study was conducted to prepare oil emulsified (OE) infectious bronchitis (IB) experimental vaccines. The vaccines were prepared using the vaccinal strain H-120 Infectious Bonchitis virus (IBV). The virus was cultivated in 9-day old embryonated eggs via allantoic cavity route. Allantoicamniotic fluid (AAF) was collected and inactivated with formalin @ 0.12%. Water in oil emulsion was...

The current focus of research attention on reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) utilization is expanding the applications RAP. This study aims to analyze road performance recycled permeable mixtures (RPAMs), which represents a novel direction for utilizing Firstly, Marshall design method was used carry out material composition RPAM with varying RAP contents (10%, 20%, and 30%). Subsequently, differ...

I present four-frequency radio observations of the wide-angle tail radio galaxy 3C 130. By a technique of simulated observations, I assess the systematic errors in the data due to the varying uv plane coverage in the different observations used. Using spectral tomography I show that, at least in the southern plume, the source can be represented by a two-component model consisting of a flat-spec...

The Hedgehog pathway is molecularly linked to increased resistance to cisplatin and increased repair of platinum-DNA damage, through C-JUN. GLI1, which has five known isoforms, is a positive transcriptional regulator in Hedgehog. Southwestern blot assay, EMSA and ChIP assays indicate that only one of five isoforms of GLI1 may be responsible for the Hedgehog link with C-JUN and thus, increased p...
