the occurrence and fate of trace-level contamination of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment has been recognized as one of the emerging issues in environmental chemistry. the effluents of wastewater treatment plants, usually directly emitted to the environment, often contain the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac. diclofenac was chosen because it is of high consumption; by background liter...

We st udy one-dimensional cellular auto mata using two different formul ations, one polynomial and one involving mod 2. Emphas is is placed on the existence of coherent st ructur es. Several new filter CAs are foun d that are capable of supporting either at t rac tors or solitons. Some of t hese new rules are revers ible.

Looking to the future, evolutionary development can be expected because the separating power of multidimension liquid chromatography is greatly increased over single-dimension liquid chromatography. The simultaneous improvements on both the software and the chromatographic apparatus will lead to a system capable of automatically developing analytical methods for a wide range of analytes in many...

objective(s):the present study reports the development and validation of a sensitive and rapid extraction method beside high performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of crocetin in human serum. materials and methods:the hplc method was carried out by using a c18 reversed-phase column and a mobile phase composed of methanol/water/acetic acid (85:14.5:0.5 v/v/v) at the flow...

background: bisphenol a (bpa) is one of the hazardous materials causing disruption of endocrine pathways. due to water contamination by this component from multiple sources and the associated health problems, bpa has been the focus of multiple studies. it has been proved that bpa may cause harm because of its impact on estrogenic receptors in human and other organisms. methods: in this study, t...

in this paper, the possibility of using a new ordered nanoporous carbon as a new fiber in headspace solid phase microextraction (hs-spme) to determine of mononitrotoluenes (mnts) in waste water is demonstrated. the structural order and textural properties of the ordered nanoporous carbon were studied by x ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) images and nitrogen adsorption i...

a combined gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (gc–ms) with headspace solid-phase microextraction (hs-spme) method has been employed for the analysis of the flavor volatiles of some iranian rice cultivars (domsiah, deylamani, hashemi, shirodi and tarom). the samples were grown in different cities of mazandaran province. the sampling procedure and chromatographic conditions were same for all sa...
