Oxidations of hemoglobin in oxygen-saturated and deoxygenated media by 10 structurally variant alkyl nitrites have been examined in kinetic detail. Pronounced structural influences on rate constants, whose values span a range of 80 in oxidations of both oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin, have been observed. tert-Butyl nitrite provides the slowest oxidation rate that for deoxyhemoglobin terminates after ...

The feasibility of removing nitrogen from mature landfill leachate using the nitrite route was investigated in a two-stage SBR system – (1 first stage, short-cut nitrification; second stage, denitrification via nitrite. With a volumetric exchange rate (n) of 0.3 d and an oxygen concentration of between 1.2 and 1.3 mg/L, the nitrite accumulation ratio – (NO2-N)×100/(NOx-N)% – was between 32% and...

Addition of nitrite-N at 1.5 mg l(-1) in tryptic soy broth (TSB) significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the growth rate of the bacterial pathogen Lactococcus garvieae and significantly (p < 0.05) reduced mortality compared to zero nitrite controls when injected into giant freshwater prawns Macrobrachium rosenbergii at 5 x 10(5) colony-forming units (CFU) per prawn. In other experiments, whereby pra...

In the salt, C(7)H(16)N(+)·C(16)H(28)F(3)N(3)O(2)P(-), the P atom shows tetra-hedral coordination. Two ion pairs are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds across a center of inversion. The phosphoryl and carbonyl groups are staggered [O-P-N-C = 64.8 (3)°].

BACKGROUND Patients with acute renal colic usually require immediate diagnosis and treatment. In this clinical trial analgesic effect of hyoscine N-butyl bromide and desmopressin combination in comparison with hyoscine N-butyl bromide alone in patients with acute renal colic induced by urinary stones was assessed. METHODS The study included 114 patients randomly allocated in two groups (A and...
