Transparent films were prepared by cross-linking polyunsaturated poly(ether carbonate)s obtained by the multicomponent polymerization of CO2 , propylene oxide, maleic anhydride, and allyl glycidyl ether. Poly(ether carbonate)s with ABXBA multiblock structures were obtained by sequential addition of mixtures of propylene oxide/maleic anhydride and propylene oxide/allyl glycidyl ether during the ...

" On New Physical Reality " (on Ψ–ether) It is shown that there exists a new physical reality – the Ψ–ether. All the achievements of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory are due to the fact that both the theories include the influence of Ψ–ether on the physical processes occurring in the Universe. Physics of the XXth century was first of all the physics of Ψ–ether.

This study was performed to determine the usefulness of the intercellular metabolic cooperation assay for analysis of a complex mixture and to compare the results obtained with previously conducted in vivo tumor promoter assays. One hundred 2R1 cigarettes were smoked according to Federal Trade Commission guidelines and the resulting condensate was separated into a water/methanol-soluble fractio...

The photooxidation of diethyl ether (C2H5OC2H5) and diisopropyl ether, (CH3)2CHOCH(CH3)2, in the presence of NOx was studied at the European Photoreactor (EUPHORE) in May 1998. The main objective of the experiments was to validate the degradation mechanisms that are based on data obtained from laboratory photoreactor studies. For diisopropyl ether, the experiments provided product yield data th...

PURPOSE The endogenous cannabinoids N-arachidonylethanolamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG) are known to decrease intraocular pressure (IOP). Recently, a novel putative endogenous cannabinoid, noladin ether, was isolated in porcine and rat brains. In the present study, both the degradation of endogenous cannabinoids in ocular tissues and the effect on IOP of 2-AG and noladin ether were...
