Oils of vegetable origin are of great importance in food, soap, and cosmetic industries and they may also be used as lubricants and raw materials for biodiesel production depending on their viscosity and thermal stability. This work provides insight into the fatty acid components, physicochemical properties and thermal stability of some refined vegetable oils. The Saponification values, peroxid...

A soluble delipidized (Na + K)-stimulated ATPase was obtained from rabbit kidney outer medulla by the use of sodium deoxycholate. The activity of this enzyme was stimulated ZO-fold to an activity of 100 to 120 pmoles of Pi per mg of protein per hour by either phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylglycerol. The effect of the fluidity of the hydrocarbon region of the phospholipid bilayers on this re-...

We have investigated the relationship between function and molecular dynamics of both the lipid and the Ca-ATPase protein in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), using temperature as a means of altering both activity and rotational dynamics. Conventional and saturation-transfer electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used to probe rotational motions of spin-labels attached either to fatty acid hydroc...

The use of accelerated temperature stability studies using the Arrhenius relationship is routine for estimating the stability of a drug at room temperature. Therefore, the acceleration method is used to determine the expiration date of dexamethasone aqueous formulation manufactured in Iran. A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method utilizing ultraviolet (UV) detection for dexa...

We report results from the molecular dynamics simulations of a binary colloidal mixture subjected to an external potential barrier along one spatial directions at low volume fraction, {\phi} = 0.2. The variations in asymmetry do not change smaller particles, showing Arrhenius diffusion. However, larger particles shows crossover sub-Arrhenius super-Arrhenius diffusion with temperatures and fract...

Problem statement: The effect of different temperatures and acid concentrations on the corrosion of low carbon steel in hydrochloric acid were addressed in this study. Approach: The effect of temperature was explained by application of Arrhenius equation and transition state theory, while the acid concentration effect was explained using reaction kinetic equations. The combined effect of temper...
