Dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DDA) stimulates immune responses, primes (or activates) macrophages, and binds to antigens. Because relatively little is known about the binding of adjuvants to antigens, the nature of the interaction of DDA with soluble protein and cellular antigens was investi gated. Dose-dependent, stable complexes are formed between cells and the lipoidal cation of DDA. ...

The invariant imbedding T-matrix method (II-TM) is employed to simulate the optical properties of normal biconcave and deformed red blood cells (RBCs). The phase matrix elements of a RBC model computed with the II-TM are compared with their counterparts computed with the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) method. As expected, the DDA results approach the II-TM results with an increase in the n...

Diffuse dermal angiomatosis (DDA) is a rare reactive angioproliferation in the skin and considered to be a subtype in the group of cutaneous reactive angiomatoses. DDA is clinically characterized by livedoid patches and plaques with tender ulceration. Its histologic features are a reactive diffuse proliferation of bland endothelial cells and pericytes within the dermis, forming small capillary ...

DDT metabolism in humans yields DDA as the principal urinary metabolite and potential exposure biomarker. A method for DDA analysis in human urine was developed using pentafluorobenzyl bromide and diisopropylethyl amine. Dried hexane extracts were reacted for 1 hour at room temperature. The stable DDA-pentafluorobenzyl-ester derivative was analyzed by gas chromatography-electron capture detecto...

5-Membered heterocycles are employed to give a conformer independent DDA array of hydrogen bonds, resulting in enhanced binding affinity to a complementary AAD array in comparison to a DDA array employing a 6-membered ring.

سابقه و هدف: گیاه­ پالایی مقرون­ به­ صرفه سازگار با محیط زیست است که در آن گیاه از توانایی‌‌های طبیعی خود برای بازیابی استفاده ‌‌می‌‌‌کند. گیاهان مورد باید توانایی انباشت مقادیر زیادی آلاینده‌‌های فلزی را بدون ایجاد سمیت آنها داشته باشند. امروزه افزایش جمعیت جهان به دنبال توسعه صنایع کارخانه‌‌ها، بر میزان پساب‌‌های وارده غالبا حاوی فلزات سنگین مختلف ‌‌می‌‌‌باشند، افزوده ‌‌می‌‌‌شود. تاثیرات مخرب...
