overdose of acetaminophen causes severe hepatic necrosis in humans and experimental animals. studies on its hepatotoxicity remain a very active area since some of current data are still uncertain. in this study, freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were used to determine the effects of garlic extract and its component, allicin on the acetaminophen-induced cell cytotoxicity and to compare with the e...

Natural gas is odorized by trace amount of mercaptans and organic sulfides to be recognized by individuals, in case of gas leakage. These materials may pollute the environment particularly in injection station at local gas plants. Therefore, removal of sulfur compounds from the remaining odorant in barrels is essential. To remove the residual portion of mercaptans and alkylsulfide mixtures diff...

The adsorption and separation properties of 3A zeolite are investigated by using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation. To obtain the adsorption isotherms of water, methyl mercaptan, and methane on 3A zeolite, COMPASS Force Filed is used. The adsorption isotherms of the pure components and the ternary mixtures of water, methyl mercaptan, and methane on 3A zeolites are calculated. The Si...

The structures of mercaptan and sodium borohydride reaction products of neocarzinostatin chromophore A (NCS Chrom A) are compared. Implications on the mechanism of activation of NCS are discussed.

Part II of this paper will concern the solution of limiting dimensions for micro-meteorites in an atmosphere of constant temperature gradient and in the general case. A critical discussion of the assumptions adopted here will be included as well as some elaboration of the numerical results. * This paper was written as a part of the investigation for United States Naval Ordnance Contract-10449-0...
