The selective preparation of monobenzyl glyceryl ethers, which are potential commodity chemicals with special functions, was explored to find new applications for glycerol. Among the acid catalysts investigated (sulfuric acid, heteropoly acid, Nafion(R), and zeolite), Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (ZSM-5) afforded better results. The reaction of equimolar amounts of glycerol and benzyl alcohol at 150º...

This work addresses a new approach developed in our laboratory, consisting in the application of isolated dimethyldioxirane (DDO, 1a) labelled with ¹⁸O for synthesis of epoxidized glyceryl linoleate (Gly-LLL, 2). We expect that this work could contribute in improving analytical methods for the determination of epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) in complex food matrices by adopting an ¹⁸O-labelled-ep...

The polyketide DIF-1 induces Dictyostelium amoebae to form stalk cells in culture. To better define its role in normal development, we examined the phenotype of a mutant blocking the first step of DIF-1 synthesis, which lacks both DIF-1 and its biosynthetic intermediate, dM-DIF-1 (des-methyl-DIF-1). Slugs of this polyketide synthase mutant (stlB(-)) are long and thin and rapidly break up, leavi...

OBJECTIVE To further resolve the clinical equipoise on the choice of chemical sphincterotomy agent for early symptomatic relief of anal fissure by comparing the effectiveness of 2% Diltiazem gel with 0.2% Glyceryl TriNitrate. METHODS The randomized clinical trial was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from February 1, to July 30, 2008, and comprised 60 adult patients with ana...

Die Soziologischen Arbeitspapiere erscheinen in loser Folge. Mit ihnen werden Aufsätze (oft als Preprint), sowie Projektberichte und Vorträge publiziert. Die Arbeitspapiere sind daher nicht unbedingt endgültig abgeschlossene wissen-schaftliche Beiträge. Sie unterliegen jedoch in jedem Fall einem internen Verfahren der Qualitätskontrolle. Die Reihe hat das Ziel, der Fachöffentlichkeit soziologis...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of a novel synthetic emulsifier product (AVI-MUL TOP) on the growth performance of chickens for fattening and weaned piglets. The emulsifier product consists of 50% vegetal bi-distillated oleic acid emulsified with 50% glyceryl polyethyleneglycol ricinoleate. In experiment 1, 480 1-day-old female Cobb500 chickens for fattening were assigned...

This article is divided into six sections that are related to six commonly used operations for surgery on the maxillary sinus. The authors discuss maxillary sinoscopy, the Caldwell-Luc procedure, extended middle meatus antrostomy, endoscopic maxillary sinus antrostomy, minimally invasive sinus technique, and balloon sinus procedures. In each of these procedures, the authors discuss potential co...

In a chromatographic partitioning (Silicic acid-Hyflosupercel 2:1, Chloroform-methanol) of •gphosphatide•h of BCG, the author obtained three main peaks (Kondo, 1960) containing varied amounts of phosphorus. Glyceryl monomycolate was reported to distribute in neutral fat (Aoyagi et al., 1960) and in Wax A, C (Tsumita, 1956). It was assumed by the author that the glyceryl monomycolate can be migr...
