Introduction: Hearing loss is one of the most common occupational diseases. In most workplaces, workers are exposed to noise and solvents simultaneously, so the potential risk of hearing loss due to solvents may be attributed to noise.  In this study we aimed to assess the effect of exposure to mixed aromatic solvents on hearing in the absence of exposure to hazardous noise.   Materials and Met...

Hydrogen bonded assemblies are usually decomposed by polar organic solvents. However, we have succeeded in preparing a strongly associated supramolecular polymer which forms viscous solutions in competitive solvents such as tetrahydrofuran.

Some organic compounds gelate particular solvents by forming a network of anisotropic fibres. We show that Hansen solubility parameters can be used to predict the range of solvents that are likely to be gelled by any given gelator.

the stability constants and complexation reaction between l-glutamine, l-arginine andglycine with zn (ii) , co (ii) and ni (ii) were studied potentiometrically in aqueous solution at25° c and μ=0.1 m kno3. the overall stability constants log β´s of all species are obtained bycomputer refinement of ph-volume data using best computer program. several models weretested and the lowest δfit, the bes...
