Objective: This study aimed to determine the dialyzability of common pesticide surfactants. Methods: Hemodialysis and hemoperfusion were performed for three surfactants-sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, lignosulfonic acid sodium, and naphthalenesulfonic acid polymer with formaldehyde-with buffer solutions (2 L) containing 0.2% surfactant with or without bovine serum albumin (3.0 g/dL). Results: T...

The reactions of di-hydroxymethylurea with phenol under alkaline (pH = 10), weak (pH = 6) and strong acidic (pH = 2) conditions were investigated via the 13C-NMR method. Based on the proposed reaction mechanisms, the variations of the structures of different condensed products were analyzed and the competitive relationship between selfand co-condensation reactions was elucidated. The required e...

1. The thermal denaturation of DNA from rat liver was studied spectrophotometrically. In sodium phosphate buffers denaturation led to a single-stranded form having, at 25 degrees , about 25% of the hypochromism of the intact double helix. 2. The hypochromism of the denatured form was the same in 1mm- as in 10mm-sodium phosphate buffer and was scarcely affected by reaction with formaldehyde. The...

OBJECTIVE Two experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of coated slow-release urea on nutrient digestion, ruminal fermentation, nitrogen utilization, blood glucose and urea concentration (Exp 1), and average daily gain (ADG; Exp 2) of steers. METHODS Exp 1: Eight ruminally fistulated steers [503±28.5 kg body weight (BW)] were distributed into a d 4×4 Latin square design and assigned...

Polymer-supported pendant urea groups have been demonstrated to be very efficient in selective removal of mercuric ions from aqueous solutions. Methyl methacrylate (0.5 mol)–glycidyl methacrylate (0.4 mol)–divinylbenzene (0.1 mol) terpolymer beads have been prepared by suspension polymerisation. Urea functions have been incorporated into the bead polymer (210–420 mm) via a two-step modification...

Understanding wetting behavior and surface coverage of resins on a wood surface is important to obtain satisfactory adhesion and optimize adhesive application for wood composite manufacturing. Sessile and micro-droplets of ureaand phenol-formaldehyde (UF and PF) resins were generated on wood surfaces to observe wetting behaviors using three directional image generation system and atomic force m...

CommunIcations to the Editor genesis ofthe pulmonary edema in this patient. Indeed, endorphins are released in stress situations and they can adversely affect physiologic systems, such as respiration and circulation.’ In the human fetus at term, plasma levels of beta-endorphins and betaLPH are inversely correlated with arterial pH and Po5 suggesting that hypoxia and secondary acidosis may be im...

condensation reaction of urea, casein and formaldehyde in the presence of varying proportion of resorcinol under alkaline condition. All the prepared resins were characterized by free-formaldehyde content, free-phenol content, viscosity measurements and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The resin samples were cured isothermally at 120oC using two different curing agents, p-toluene sulphonic acid (PTS...
