The photocatalytic oxidation of phenol in water in the band reactor with supported TiO2 catalysts was investigated. Modified anatase/Al2O3 catalysts were used as the photocatalysts. The main aim of these studies was to determine catalytic activity of TiO2/Al2O3 and V-TiO2/Al2O3 in the removal of phenol from water. The effectiveness was measured in the configurations: TiO2/UV/O2/H2O2, TiO2/O2/H2...

The mixture of PBBs in FireMaster BP-6 has been demonstrated to constitute potent inducers of hepatic and extrahepatic mixed function oxidase (MFO) enzymes. Chronic dietary administration of PBBs to mature female rats results in a "mixed" pattern of induction, with increases in both cytochrome P-450 and P1-450 associated enzymes. Acute administration of PBBs (150 mg/kg IP) to mature female rats...

The need to provide a greater rate of colloid clearance from blood than is presently available with the long-acting dosage form of HES 450/0.70 prompted the clinical investigation of a new species of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) possessing a M-w of 350000 concomitant with a molar substitution of 0.60 (HES 350/0.60). The concentration of HES 350/0.60 in serum fell to half its peak value in 10.2 +/-...

Material and methods Four geldings in a Latin Square design were fed 4 diets: (H) timothy hay, (OB) whole oats and molassed sugar beet pulp (Betfor), (BB) whole barley and Betfor, chaff based concentrate (M). Starch did not exceed 1 g starch per kg BW per meal. The horses were fasted 8 hours prior to sampling. Blood was drawn via jugular vein puncture into heparinized vacutainer tubes at time 0...
