a quanitative structure property relationship was proposed to calculate the binary interaction terms of the jouyban-acree model using solubility parameter, boiling point, vapour pressure and density of solvents. the applicability of the proposed method for reproducing solubility data of anthracene in binary solvents has been evaluated using 116 solubility data sets collected from the literature...

in this work an analytical equation of state has been employed to calculate the pvt properties ofternary refrigerant mixtures. the theoretical eos is that of ihm, song and mason, which is based onstatistical-mechanical perturbation theory, and the two constants are enthalpy of vaporization δhvapand molar density ρnb, both at the normal boiling temperature. the following three temperaturedepende...

Fatty acids composition in edible parts of Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus pelagicus) caught in the Persian Gulf close to the Bushehr Province were investigated. Among saturated fatty acids (SFA), the 16:0 and 18:0 fatty acids were the most two dominant fatty acids in meat tissues that analyzed. 18:1n-9 and 16:1n-7 were the major fatty acids among the MUFAs of male and female crab. The main PUFAs ...

The study of health effects induced by exposure to mixtures of pollutants is a complex task. The purpose of this paper is to identify areas of research in which the conduct of human controlled exposure (clinical) studies may contribute to better understanding health effects of exposure to indoor air and other mixtures. The strengths and weaknesses of clinical studies in general are reviewed, as...

Microfluidic design has advanced existing protein separation capabilities and supported novel assays. Key metrics for successful protein separations include fast, robust, and sensitive analysis of complex mixtures of bio-macromolecules. Attaining high separation resolution is a chief concern. Here we review recent advances in polymer-based electrophoresis sieving materials that are impacting mi...

Sufficient toxicological data are now available to permit use of conventional risk assessment techniques to estimate the hazards associated with human exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD). However, many real-world exposures involve complex mixtures of dibenzodioxins, dibenzofurans, and related compounds. Historical approaches to risk assessment on such mixtures have ra...

Background: Identifying the animal species origin in meat and meat products is important for preventing adulteration and protecting consumers in terms of health and religious convictions. Species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is known as a suitable method for identifying meat species. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to use a species-specific PCR assay for the detection of mislabeling in...

Those avoiding red meat represent up to 16% of the UK population whilst the proportion of the UK claiming to be ‘eating less meat’ ranges from 32.5 to 48% (Woodward, 1988; Food Research Association, 1989; The Realeat Survey Office, 1990; Vegetarian Society, 1991). In contrast, total meat production has not varied dramatically over recent years. Production figures reveal that although there has ...
