objective: dracocephalum kotschyi (lamiaceae family) has been usedin traditional medicine for stomach and liver disorders, headache and congestion. in the present study, we have investigated phytochemical properties and antioxidant activities of dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of d.kotschyi. material and methods: antioxidant activities of extracts were evaluated using the i...

Recently, pervaporation separation processes have gained much attention in the separation of azeotropic and close boiling point organic-organic mixtures due to its high separation efficiency, economy, safety, and energy saving potentials. In this work, the effects of experimental factors such as feed composition and operating temperature on the performance of a commercial poly vinyl alcohol mem...

in this work, we have calculated the joule-thomson inversion curve of two important associating fluids, namely water and methanol, from the saft equation of state. comparisons with the available experimental data, for water and methanol indicate that this molecular based equation of state gives good prediction of the low temperature branch; but, unfortunately, due to lack of isenthalpic data fo...

in order to evaluate the application of methanol on yield and yield components of soybean (glycine max l., var. l 17) in field conditions, experiments were conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the field research from faculty of agricultural of islamic azad university karaj, iran, during 2008. sprayed aqueous solutions were zero (control), 7, 14, 21, 2...

The primary structure and function of nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK), a substrate non-specific enzyme involved in the maintenance of nucleotide pools is also implicated to play pivotal roles in many other cellular processes. NDK is conserved from bacteria to human and forms a homotetramer or hexamer to exhibit its biological activity. However, the nature of the functional oligomeric form o...

a spectrophotometric method is used to determine the acidity constants of some derivatives of 9,10-anthraquinone in binary methanol-water mixtures at 25 °c. there is a linear inverse relationship between pka of all acids and the mole fraction of methanol in the mixed solvent. the influence of substituents in the molecular structure on the ionization constants is discussed.
