The triphenyltin (TPT)-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis CNR15 produces extracellular yellow substances to degrade TPT. Three substances (F-I, F-IIa, and F-IIb) were purified, and their structural and catalytic properties were characterized. The primary structure of F-I was established using two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance techniques; the structure was identical to that of...

The complex dibutyltin 2-oxo-2-phenylacetic acid 4-hydroxybenzohydrazone has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies. The crystal structure belongs to triclinic, space group P-1 with a = 9.3220 (10) Å, b = 9.8779 (11) Å, c = 15.9401 (17) Å, β = 97.0930 (10)°, Z = 2, V = 1427.6(3) Å(3), Dc = 1.413 mg/cm(3), μ ...

in internal combustion engines, only about a third of the total fuel input energy is converted into useful work. if the energy rejected into the cooling system and the exhaust gases could be recovered instead and put into useful work, fuel economy would have been substantially improved. the main aim of this research paper was to evaluate the effects of the hybrid nano-catalyst containing cerium...

the volatile oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of matricaria chamomilla l. (asteraceae) growing in botanical garden, isfahan university of medical sciences, iran, was investigated by gas chromatography (gc) and gc/ mass spectrometery (ms). sixty-three components were characterized, representing 86.21% of the total oil components detected. α-bisabolol oxide a (25.01%) and a-b...

various polymorphisms on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) gene cause reduced production of no, the endothelial relaxing factor, and may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. the study designed to investigate the frequency of t-786c polymorphism of the enos gene in patients suffering from coronary artery disease (cad) in north-west of iran. one hundred twenty subjects including 60 p...

recent studies have established that sex hormones directly or indirectly affect t and b cells and macrophages by manipulating the production of cytokines. in this study the possibility of the effect of 5a-dht on macrophage (mφ) nitric oxide (no) release via interleukin-l, 6 (ll-1β, il-6) or tumor necrosis factor-a (tnfα) was investigated. the endogenous cytokines il-1β, il-6 and tnf-α were neut...

helitropium europaeum l. population garmsar was shown to contain three major alkaloids: heliotrine n-oxide (2), lasiocarpine (4) and lasiocarpine n-oxide (5); and four minor alkaloids: heliotrine (i), europine (3), acetyllasiocarpine (6) and a novel alkaloid acetyllasiocarpine n-oxide (7).

the surface and interfacial analysis of silicon oxide film on silicon substrate is particularly crucial in the nano-electronic devices. for this purpose, series of experiments have been demonstrated to grow oxide film on si (111) substrate. then these films have been used to study the structure of the film by using x-ray photo emission spectroscopy (xps) technique. the obtained results indicate...
