Hydrolytic Weakening of Quartz and Other Silicates*

Water distribution in the lower mantle: Implications for hydrolytic weakening

Hydrolytic metabolism of pyrethroids by human and other mammalian carboxylesterases.

Pyrethroid chemicals are attractive alternatives to the organophosphates (OPs) because of their selective toxicity against pests rather than mammals. The carboxylesterases (CEs) are hepatic enzymes that metabolize ester-containing xenobiotics such as pyrethroids. The primary aim of this study was to gain insight into the catalytic properties of the CE enzymes in humans that metabolize pyrethroi...

A Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) Study of Single-Strand DNA Hybridization and Hydrolytic Cleavage

The use of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for monitorin g in situ the immobilization of singlestrand DNA marked with mercaptol group at the 5'-end on the surface of a gold-filled 7.995 MHz AT-cut quartz crystal by Au–S bond with the self-assembly technique is reported. The hybridization of ssDNA with complementary 10-mer ODN and 8-mer ODN is described. The QCM was also employed to analyze ...

A New Uranyl Silicate Sheet in the Structure of Haiweeite and Comparison to Other Uranyl Silicates

The structure of haiweeite, Ca[(UO2)2Si5O12(OH)2](H2O)3, Z = 4, orthorhombic, a 7.125(1), b 17.937(2), c 18.342(2) Å, V 2344.3(7) Å3, space group Cmcm, has been solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques to an agreement index (R1) of 4.2% for 1181 unique observed reflections (|Fo| ≤ 4 F) collected using MoK X-radiation and a CCDbased area detector. The structur...

conjugated linoleic acids, amino acid profile and other characteristics of meat produced under identical condition from two iranian fat tailed breeds of lamb

گوشت قرمز یکی از مهم ترین فرآورده های دامی در تأمین پروتئین و انرژی می باشد که در حمل ویتامین های محلول در چربی نیز حائز اهمیت می باشد. انسان مانند سایر مهره داران اسید های چرب ضروری (لینولئیک و آلفا لینولنیک) مورد نیاز خود از طریق غذا تأمین می نماید. اسید های چرب ضروی پیش ساز اسید های چرب غیر اشباع با چند پیوند دوگانه هستند. اسید لینولنیک پیش ساز اسیدهای چرب امگا 3 و اسید لینولئیک نیز پیش ساز ...
