ÐA ®xed bed reactor ®lled with calcite particles (mean strokes diameter, 0.20 mm) was constructed and the reactor was used to treat synthetic wastewater containing HF, NaF, NH4F or Na2SiF6 under various conditions. Calcium ions (Ca) were found to exist in the treated e‚uent and the molar Ca concentration ([Ca]) was related to the molar ratio of H to Fÿ ([H]0/[F ]0) in in ̄uent as log10[Ca ]=0.02...

A series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for the Src kinase inhibitory activities. Compound 6e and 10c exhibited inhibition of Src kinase with an IC50 value of 5.6 and 5.1 μM, respectively. Hydroxamate derivative 15a was found to be a metal-mediated inhibitor for human Csk with an IC50 value of 2.0 μM showing 56-fold selectivity over Src kinase inhibition.

The influence of tooth loss on the viability of cholinergic neurons was examined in rats. At 25th postnatal week, rats were divided into the three groups; a control group fed a solid diet, a soft diet group fed a powder diet and a molar crown-less group in which all molar crowns were removed and the powder diet was given. At 15 and 35 weeks post-treatment, the number of choline acetyltransferas...

Synthesis of a new series of diarylamides possessing 6,7-dimethoxy(dihydroxy)quinoline scaffold is described. Their in vitro antiproliferative activities against NCI-58 human cancer cell lines of nine different cancer types were tested. Compounds 1a and 1d-g showed the highest mean %inhibition values over the 58 cell line panel at 10 μM, and they were further tested in 5-dose testing mode to de...

Cryoprotection of suspension cultures of sugarcane cells (Saccharum sp.) during freezing to various temperatures was tested using glucose, dimethylsulfoxide, and ethylene glycol at various concentrations, alone and in combinations. Viability of the thawed cells was assessed by triphenyltetrazolium chloride reduction, cell growth, and microscopic examination. Enhanced cryoprotection-as much as a...

Sour taste has been considered the simplest of the basic tastes because it is elicited only by hydrogen ions. However, there is not a sufficiently clear understanding of that relationship to allow sour taste intensity to be predicted and rationally modified in foods. On the basis of analysis of sensory data from our laboratory and reanalysis of previously published data, we propose a new hypoth...

On the basis of a versatile mode-coupling theory (MCT) method developed in Paper I [C. Contreras Aburto and G. Nägele, J. Chem. Phys. 139, 134109 (2013)], we investigate the concentration dependence of conduction-diffusion linear transport properties for a symmetric binary electrolyte solution. The ions are treated in this method as charged Brownian spheres, and the solvent-mediated ion-ion hyd...

KSCN and NH4SCN aqueous solutions were investigated with intermolecular vibrational energy transfer methods. In a KSCN/H2O (1/10 molar ratio) solution, 90% of the initial excitation of the CN stretch (~2066 cm(-1)) of the SCN(-) anion is transferred to the HOH bending mode (~1636 cm(-1)) of water molecules with an energy transfer time constant 3.1 ps. In a NH4SCN/H2O (1/10 molar ratio) solution...
