Identifikácia organických látok v slovenskom hnedom uhlí Vzorky slovenského hnedého uhlia z lokality Cígeľ a Handlová boli podrobené nadkritickej fluidnej extrakcii (SFE) oxidom uhličitým, modifikovaným 5 % metanolom. Extrakty, získané metódou SFE, boli podrobené plynovej chromatografii s hmotnostno-spektrometrickou identifikáciou (GC MS). Porovnaním s literárnymi údajmi hmotnostnej spektroskop...

We measure the star formation efficiency (SFE), the star formation rate per unit gas, in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it to expectations from proposed star formation laws and thresholds. We use H I maps from THINGS and derive H2 maps from CO measured by HERACLES and BIMA SONG. We estimate the star formation rate by combining GALEX FUV maps and SINGS 24μm maps, infer stellar surface density pr...

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of etching time using 9% hydrofluoric acid on Fracture Load (FL) and surface properties, such as Surface Free Energy (SFE) and Surface Roughness (SR) of three CAD/CAM glass-ceramics. Methods: Following glass-ceramics were investigated: EMP (IPS Empress CAD), KLE (KLEMA CAD/CAM glass-ceramic) and EMC (IPS e.max CAD). For FL, sta...

Iron is an important constituent of kornerupine, (M,Mg,Fe)(Al,Mg,Fe)9(Si,Al,B)5O21(OH,F). We obtained Mössbauer spectra at 300 K on twelve samples with SFe 5 0.30–1.30 atoms per formula unit (apfu) and Fe31/SFe 5 0–0.31; several samples were also run at 77 and 430 K. Models allowing unequivocal refinement of the spectra and determination of site occupancies were developed only when single-cryst...

Pine (Pinus morrisonicola Hay, PM) needles have been used as folk medicine for their antihypertension and lipid-lowering effects. As supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is considered an ideal technique for the extraction of essential oil from plant materials, the present work investigated the optimal SFE conditions and the protective effects of different resulting fractions of PM needles on li...

The fruits of Capsicum annuum L. are used worldwide as chili peppers and in folk medicines. The pungent components of C. annuum, which are irritants, are called capsaicinoids (CAPS), and the most abundant components are capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, and nordihydrocapsaicin. To analyze CAPS in the placentas of Capsicum fruits rapidly and safely, we used a directly connected system of supercritica...

Advances in modern cryptography coupled with rapid growth in processing and communication speeds make secure twoparty computation a realistic paradigm. Yet, thus far, interest in this paradigm has remained mostly theoretical. This paper introduces Fairplay [28], a full-fledged system that implements generic secure function evaluation (SFE). Fairplay comprises a high level procedural definition ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activities of various parts (barks, buds, and leaves) of Cinnamomum cassia extracted with ethanol and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). For the antioxidant activity comparison, IC50 values of the SFE and ethanol extracts in the DPPH scavenging assay were 0.562-10.090 mg/mL and 0.072-0.208 mg/mL, and the Trolox equivalent antioxidant c...

Interest in supercritical fluids extraction (SFE) is increasing throughout many scientific and industrial fields. The common solvent for use in SFE is carbon dioxide. However, pure carbon dioxide frequently fails to efficiently extract the essential oil from a sample matrix, and modifier fluids such as methanol should be used to enhance extraction yield. A more efficient use of SFE requires qua...

The objective of this work is to track the amount of metal complexes distributed in the extraction cell, collection vial, and tubing used in supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) systems after progressive removal of metal ions in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (NaDDC) and dibutylammonium dibutyldithiocarbamate (DBDC) ligands were used to form complexes with ...
