Introduction: Recent studies point to the clinical and research efficacy of saliva as a respected diagnostic aid for observing Multiple Sclerosis. The objectives of this Hypothesis are to identify novel biomarkers recognized to Multiple Sclerosis in early stage in saliva and to determine if the levels of these markers correlate with level of these Cerebrospinal fluid and blood assays and urine ...

We study the dynamical behavior of one-dimensional arrays of ∼100 μm diameter aqueous droplets containing the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, separated by narrow gaps of a fluorinated oil. In this closed system, the malonic acid concentration decreases as the reaction proceeds. Starting with a low initial malonic acid concentration, we observe a series of attractors as a functio...

a facile one-pot method with good yield for the synthesis of 2,4-dichloroquinoline and some related new derivatives by condensation of the appropriate primary aromatic amine with malonic acid in presence of excess phosphorus oxychloride is described.

We describe an improved Taylor dispersion method for four-component systems, which we apply to measure the main- and cross-diffusion coefficients in an Aerosol OT water-in-oil microemulsion loaded with one of the reactants of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, water(1)/AOT(2)/R(3)/octane(4) system, where R is malonic acid or ferroin. With [H(2)O]/[AOT] = 11.8 and volume droplet fraction ph...

Atmospheric photochemistry induced by solar excitation of vibrational overtone transitions has recently been demonstrated to be of importance in cleaving weak bonds (in HO(2)NO(2)) and inducing intramolecular rearrangement followed by reaction (in H(2)SO(4)). Here, we propose another potentially important process: the decarboxylation of organic acids. To demonstrate this possibility, we have ca...

Co-crystallizaton of the anti-fungal drug fluconazole [2-(2,4-difluoro-phen-yl)-1,3-bis-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-ol] with malonic acid in acetonitrile solution resulted in the formation of the title 1:1 co-crystal, C13H12F2N6O·C3H4O4. The geometry around the central fluconazole atom is distorted tetrahedral. The dihedral angles between the triazole rings and the fluorinated phenyl ring a...
