Polarography in Molten Salts

TYPES OF MELTS From the practical viewpoint, melts may be classified according to melting points which may limit the available techniques. The lowest melting, with working temperatures up to 250°, are typified by the LiNO3—NaNO3— KNO3 eutectic, NaNO3—KNO3 eutectic, LiClO4, and ammonium formate. With these solvents it is possible to use the dropping mercury electrode, or hanging mercury drop ele...

Pharmacogenomics: What is Next?

Pharmacogenomics is moving from a candidate gene strategy to large scale approaches. This is in line with the new paradigm of linking a trait to (a) pathway(s) rather than to single genes. In addition, breakthroughs in genomics offer a non-a priori assessment of implicated genes, expanding the possibilities in pharmacogenomics research. In this review, we discuss the pros and cons of new concep...

What ’ s next ?

Collections of cultural heritage documents are most of the time digitized images. These precious documents are now available on the internet and need manual annotations to make their content accessible and exploitable. Manual annotations are expensive and tedious; hence the use of a collaborative annotation space and the reuse of users’ experiences, by tracing their actions -during the annotati...

Polarography of diacetylthiamine and dibenzoylthiamine.

In recent years, a series of thiamine derivatives has been synthesized and many investigations have been made both chemically and medically. Allithiamine, a S-alkyl thiamine derivative, was studied in the previous pa per (1) and was found to have polarographically a similar behavior to thia mine. In the present experiment, polarographic investigations on diacetyl thiamine (DAT) and dibenzoylthi...
