The accurate measurements on density of the binary mixtures of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulphate in pure water and in methanol(1) + water (2) mixed solvent media containing (0.10, 0.20, and 0.30) volume fractions of methanol at 308.15, 318.15, and 323.15 K are reported. The concentrations are varied from (0.03 to 0.12) mol.l(-1) of sodium dodecyl sulphate in presence of...

In this study, 33 different polysaccharides were prepared to investigate the structure-activity relationships between the polysaccharides, mainly from marine algae, and anti-complement activity in the classical pathway. Factors considered included extraction methods, fractionations, molecular weight, molar ratio of galactose to fucose, sulfate, uronic acid (UA) content, linkage, branching, and ...

Plasma concentration of apoA-I, apoA-II and apoA-II-unassociated apoA-I was analyzed in 314 Japanese subjects (177 males and 137 females), including one (male) homozygote and 37 (20 males and 17 females) heterozygotes of genetic CETP deficiency. ApoA-I unassociated with apoA-II markedly and linearly increased with HDL-cholesterol, while apoA-II increased only very slightly and the ratio of apoA...

The theory for thermoacoustic mixture separation is extended to include the effects of a nonzero concentration gradient. New data are presented, which are in excellent agreement with this theory. The maximum concentration gradient which may be achieved in a binary mixture of gases through this separation process is intrinsically limited by the fractional pressure amplitude, by the tidal displac...

Physicochemical and electrochemical properties of N,N,N-dimethylbutylammonium methanesulfonate, [DMBA][MS], ionic liquid (IL) have been determined, the potential application for recovery lead from lead-acid batteries is discussed. To optimise transport IL, dependences were measured conductivity, density viscosity with varying amounts excess acid water as a diluent in electrolyte mixture. Molar ...

The degradation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was investigated in the aqueous solution of coated ZnO onto magnetite nanoparticale based on an advanced photocatalytic oxidation process. The photocatalysts were synthesized by coating of ZnO onto magnetite using precipitation method. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibration samp...

Poly(methacrylic acid-g-ethylene glycol) (P(MAA-g-EG)) has been studied extensively in our laboratory due to its extremely promising applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. It exhibits pH-responsive interpolymer complexes that make it a promising candidate as an oral carrier for peptide and protein drug. We have developed a photoinitiated free-radical precipitation polymerizat...

In recent years, ionic liquids have been used in pharmaceutical processes. Therefore, having a deep insight into the ion association behavior of ionic liquids in the presence of a drug is of particular importance. So, in this work, the molar conductivities of the ionic liquids, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [CnMIm]Br (n = 4, 6 and 8) in various concentrations of aspirin (ASA) ...

Bacterial levan has gained an increasing interest over the last decades due to its unique characteristics and multiple possible applications. Levan and other exopolysaccharides (EPSs) production are usually optimized to obtain the highest concentration or yield while a possible change of the molecular size and mass during the production process is mostly neglected. In this study, the molar mass...

Copollutants found in air samples and other complex chemical mixtures may alter the metabolism, and thus the biological activity, of chemical carcinogens. As an initial step to determine whether the metabolism and DNA binding of carcinogenic nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in diesel exhaust particles are altered by copollutants, we studied the effect of pyrene on the metabolism ...
