A novel and selective method for the fast determination of trace amounts of Cu(II) ions in water samples has been developed. The procedure is based on the selective formation of Cu(II) at optimum pH by elution with organic eluents and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The method is based on complex formation on the surface of the ENVI-18 DISKTM disks modified Schiff base-ch...

The main aim of the present investigation was to study the retention and separation of eight nucleotides with the use of seven stationary phases in RP HPLC mode. Two octadecyl columns were used; however, aminopropyl, alkylamide, cholesterol, alkyl-phosphate, and phenyl were also studied. Special attention was paid to the mobile phase buffer pH, since it appears that this factor is very influent...

a highly convenient, selective and sensitive procedure for pre-concentration, separation and determination of sub-ppm levels of cu 2+ in aqueous samples based on modification of octadecyl silica bonded phase membrane (osbpm) disks is described using benzildithiosemicarbazone  (bdsc) as a powerful modifier. it was revealed that each loaded osbpm disk with 6.0 mg of bdsc serves as excellent bead ...

Three alkyl coumarates (hexadecyl coumarate, eicosyl coumarate and docosyl coumarate) and five alkyl ferulates (tetradecyl ferulate, pentadecyl ferulate, heptadecyl ferulate, octadecyl ferulate and nonadecyl ferulate) could be tentatively detected in the partially purified HPLC fraction of Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa by high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS). Th...

The phase state of a series of poly(n-octadecyl methacrylate)-b-poly(tert-butyl acrylate)-b-poly(n-octadecyl methacrylate) (pODMA-b-ptBA-b-pODMA) triblock copolymers, synthesized through atom transfer radical polymerization, has been investigated in bulk and on surfaces using small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy, respectively. The mean-field theory was employed to construct ...

Background: Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa is a plant native to South America, but sparsely distributed in India and Bangladesh. Aphrodisiac, purgative, cathartic and sore curing properties have been attributed to the plant. Although there were several papers on the antifungal and antibacterial activities of on the crude extractives of the plant, the first report on the bioassay monitored isol...

OBJECTIVES The Survey of Living Condition in the Arctic (SLiCA) is an international research project on health and living conditions among Arctic indigenous peoples. The main objective of this article is to examine the prevalence of self-reported suicide thoughts among the study population in Alaska, Greenland, Sweden and Norway. STUDY DESIGN Population-based survey. METHODS Indigenous part...
