the use of an inorganic phase in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion has recently received considerable attention for preparing metal oxide nanoparticles. this is a technique, which allows preparation of ultrafine metal oxide nanoparticles within the size range 40 to 80 nm. preparation of nano chromium (iii) oxide studied investigated in the inverse microemulsion system. therefore the nucleation o...

the aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (mes) in professional bus drivers, and its association with overtime working hours among those drivers in urmia, iran. in this cross sectional study the studies population was 626 professional bus drivers, aged 20-69 yr. the mes (according to thenational cholesterol educationprogram adult treatment panel iii), waist circ...

The synthesis and analytical applications of the new heterocyclic ligand are described. The complexation reaction of the ligand with some cations was studied in aqueous methanol at room temperature using the spectrophotometric method. Results revealed that only the absorption spectra of the Fe (III)–ligand complex show a high redshift of the absorption maximum in the aqueous methanol soluti...

The structure of fungal beauveriolide III, an inhibitor of lipid droplet formation in mouse macrophages, was elucidated to be cyclo-[(3S,4S)-3-hydroxy-4-methyloctanoyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-alanyl- D-allo-isoleucyl] by spectral analyses and chemical degradation.

We are sincerely grateful to have been invited by the Guest Editor of this special issue, Prof. Francesca Lisi, to write an article in honor of our mentor Gaetano Aurelio Lanzarone (for students, colleagues and friends simply ‘Elio’). We were the first (Stefania) and last (Federico) of Elio’s students, and we both entertained a particularly deep relation with him. What we want to do here is to ...
