Epoxy resins, which are frequently preferred among thermoset plastics in the industry, materials with high viscosity, and good mechanical performance. The biggest disadvantage of epoxy resins is that they encounter difficulties application alone due to their viscosity. For this reason, various diluents added reduce viscosity applications conducted. In study, properties resin, used many fields, ...

BACKGROUND Toluenediamines are harmful substances. Toluene-2,4-diamine has been assigned to Carcinogen 1B hazard class, pursuant to Regulation (European Community - EC) No. 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and toluene- 2,6-diamine to Mutagen 2 hazard class. The main routes of exposure to toluene-2,4-diamine and toluene-2,6-diamine are via the respiratory tract and the sk...

The isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (Idh-2) locus of Anopheles quadrimaculatus was analyzed genetically and the enzyme was characterized physiochemically. Three-point testcrosses involving chromosome 3 markers showed that in female hybrids the gene sequence and the map distances are: nonstripe (st)--6.8--Idh-2--43.5--short antenna (Sa). Reduced recombination frequencies were observed in male hybrids...

Zinc, lead and cadmium in the form of chloride salts when added to a standard assay system containing 80 X 10(-6) ejaculated washed human spermatozoa caused a dose and duration-dependent inhibition of their motility. The activity of certain key enzymes of carbohydrate and energy metabolism, viz, glycogen phosphorylase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate isom...

We study sequence-dependent complexation between oligonucleotides (single-strand DNA) and various generation ethylene diamine (EDA) cored poly amido amide (PAMAM) dendrimers through atomistic molecular dynamics simulations accompanied by free energy calculations and inherent structure determination. Simulations reveal formation of a stable complex and provide a detailed molecular level understa...

OBJECTIVES The essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil) and its components have antimicrobial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and viruses. The mechanism(s) by which Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCTC 10662 maintains a decreased susceptibility to tea tree oil and components was investigated. RESULTS Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid enhan...

Yb3+/Gd3+/Tm3+ co-doped prism-like NaYF4 microcrystals were synthesized through a facile ethylene diamine triacetic acid (EDTA)-assisted hydrothermal method. The microcrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), upconversion (UC) emission spectra, and decay curve. After annealing in an argon atmosphere, the microcrystals emitted bright blue and int...
