TiO2 based nanocomposites (NCs) were synthesized using the co-precipitation/hydrolysis (CPH) method. The composition of the first set (TZF) and the second set (TY) of NCs were: TiO2.[ZnFe2O4]x (with x = 0.1 to 0.5), and TiO2.[Y2O3]x (with x = 0.1 to 0.5), respectively. NCs with average crys...

The inefficient glycosylation of consensus sequence on N135 in antithrombin explains the two glycoforms of this key anticoagulant serpin found in plasma: α and β, with four and three N-glycans, respectively. The lack of this N-glycan increases the heparin affinity of the β-glycoform. Recent studies have demonstrated that an aromatic sequon (Phe-Y-Asn-X-Thr) in reverse β-turns enhances N-glycosy...

An efficient one-pot four-component protocol for the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazolederivatives has been demonstrated using Y(NO3)3.6H2O as catalyst under mild condition. This isa general synthetic protocol which could be applicable to a wide range of carbonyl compoundsincluding aromatic aldehydes, isatins and acenaphthenequinone. All The reactions proceededsmoothly, ...

The influence of benzoate anions on the corrosion inhibition effect of benzotriazole (BTA) for mild steel in sulfuric acid has been investigated. The investigation was carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The addition of benzoate ions greatly enhances the inhibition efficiency of BTA in a synergistic manner. This effect has bee...

New mass spectral deconvolution algorithms have been developed for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography/quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC × GC/qMS). This paper reports the first use of spectral deconvolution of full scan quadrupole GC × GC/MS data for the quantitative analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles (PASH) in coal tar-con...

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C(28)H(28)O(3)P(+)·Cl(-)·H(2)O, contains a benzyl-triphenyl-phospho-nium cation, a chloride counter-ion, and a water mol-ecule of crystallization. The 3,4,5-trimeth-oxy substituents of the benzylic functionality are arranged with the 3,5-methyl groups lying approximately in the aromatic ring plane while the 4-methyl group is out of the plane.
