water contamination due to the wide variety of pesticides used in agriculture is a global environmental pollution problem. in order to reach at sub-î¼gl-1 levels of detection, an efficient extraction technique is required. a simple, fast and economical method, dispersive liquid-liquid micro extraction (dllme), followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was assessed for determining endosul...

a very simple, rapid and sensitive dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (dllme) followed by gas chromatography and flame ionization detection (gc-fid) was developed for the determination of phenol and carvacrol in honey samples. a mixture of 100 µl dichloromethane (extraction solvent) and 0.5 ml acetonitrile (disperser solvent) was rapidly injected into sample solution. thereby a cloudy sol...

an efficient dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction using tetraalkylammonium bromide coated silver nanoparticles (dllme-agnps) prepared in chloroform has been successfully applied as electrostatic affinity probes to the microextraction and preconcentration of terazosin prior to spectrofluorimetry analysis. this technique is based on a ternary system of solvents, where appropriate amount of mi...

The ameliorating effect of nitrate on the acidification of the cytoplasm during short-term anoxia was investigated in maize (Zea mays) root segments. Seedlings were grown in the presence or absence of nitrate, and changes in the cytoplasmic and vacuolar pH in response to the imposition of anoxia were measured by in vivo (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Soluble ions and metabolites...

The patient, a European boy, aged five years, had two or three attacks of vomiting without apparent cause on the 29th October. He was given a dose of castor oil on the morning of the 30th and according to his mother passed a stool normal in appearance. About 2 a.m. on the 31st October the boy was seized with an acute attack of pain of a colicky nature, and although considerably relieved by a sm...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the ultrastructural appearance and protein expression of the zygomaticotemporal branch of the trigeminal nerve in patients with and without migraine headaches. METHODS After confirmation of migraine headache diagnosis on 15 patients, a 5-mm segment of the zygomaticotemporal branch of the trigeminal nerve that is routinely removed during migr...

Polyurethanes, containing well-defined assemblies of perfluoro-polyether (PFPE or hexafluoropropene oxide oligomer), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) segments, exhibit oleophobic, hydrophobic, and hydrophilic properties in response to the polarity of the contacting medium. These polymers were prepared by reacting hydroxy(polyethyleneoxy)-propylether-terminated PDMS blo...

Five-year-old segments of intact 7-year-old branches of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga meziesii [Mirb.] Franco) were reoriented to determine the relation between indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the formation of compression wood. Eight branches per treatment were either left at their original angle (mean of 69 degrees , the control), or bent proximal to the segment to reorient it up or down 30 degrees ...

Selective lateral epitaxial (SLE) semiconductor nanowires (NWs), with their perfect in-plane epitaxial alignment, ability to form lateral complex p-n junctions in situ, and compatibility with planar processing, are a distinctive platform for next-generation device development. However, the incorporation and distribution of impurity dopants in these planar NWs via the vapor-liquid-solid growth m...

Splitting a droplet into several segments is of great significance in many applications such as the detection tiny liquid samples, whereas surface tension tends to hold remain one drop, causing difficulty separating pieces. In this work, method proposed split an impacting with relatively high velocity or Weber number two halves by superhydrophobic wire. The effects wire wettability and impact o...
