Polymers containing poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate and 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate have been synthesized by Cu(0)-mediated radical polymerisation for use as thermoresponsive water-dispersants for carbon nanotubes.

The transformation of a 2-D perovskite structure to "expanded" 2-D and finally to a 0-D hexanuclear cadmium chloride cluster by varying the size of substituents on the associated counterions (H vs. methyl vs. ethyl) is described.

BACKGROUND Before caesarean section is performed under regional anaesthesia the block should be assessed, preferably using a touch stimulus. What constitutes a touch stimulus remains unclear. The aim of this study was to compare a Neuropen monofilament with ethyl chloride in the assessment of touch. METHODS Forty women undergoing elective caesarean section received combined spinal-epidural an...

Ethyl maltol and iron complexes are products of ethyl maltol and the iron found in the cooking pots used to prepare the Chinese dish, hot-pot. Because their safety is undocumented, the toxicity study of ethyl maltol and iron complexes was conducted in male and female Kunming (KM) mice. The animal study was designed based on the preliminary study conducted to determine the median lethal dose (LD...

Successful weed control before seeding is necessary for proper turfgrass establishment. However, herbicide labels differ in the time required between application and seeding. The objective of this research was to determine influence four postemergence broadleaf combination herbicides on tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea ) cover, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), canopy height when ...

The reaction mechanism for the phosphotriesterase from Pseudomonas diminuta has been examined. When paraoxon (diethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate) is hydrolyzed by this enzyme in oxygen18-labeled water, the oxygen-18 label is found exclusively in the diethyl phosphate product. The absolute configurations for the (+) and (-) enantiomers of 0-ethyl phenylphosphonothioic acid have been determined by X...
