AuPd/polyaniline was used for the first time, for ethylene glycol (EG) electrooxidation in a novel microfluidic fuel cell (MFC) operated at room temperature. The device exhibits high electrocatalytic performance and stability for the conversion of cheap and fully available EG as fuel.

Continuous fixed-bed catalytic hydrogenation of ethylene carbonate (EC) to methanol and ethylene glycol (EG), an emerging synthetic process of methanol via indirect conversion of CO2, was successfully performed over Cu/HMS catalysts prepared by the ammonia evaporation (AE) method. The catalysts possessed superb performance with a conversion of 100% and a selectivity to methanol of 74%.

Depolymerization behavior polyesters (poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate) (PEN)) in suband supercritical water was investigated for the purpose of monomer recycling. In case of the depolymerization of PET, the yield of terephthalic acid (TPA) increased to 90 % with increasing reaction temperature up to 693 K while the maximum yield of ethylene gly...

BACKGROUND Ethylene glycol (EG) has been successfully used as a cryoprotectant for vitrification of mammalian formula embryos (including human embryos) due to its low formula weight and high permeation into cells compared with other cryoprotectants, including propylene glycol (PROH). This study was carried out to evaluate the permeation and toxicity of EG and to investigate the effects of its u...

BACKGROUND The aim of the conducted studies was to evaluate the effect of 4-methylpyrazole, increasingly used in detoxifying treatments after ethylene glycol poisoning, on the activity of some antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation formation in the liver of rats after experimental co-exposure to ethylene glycol and ethyl alcohol. METHODS The trials were conducted on adult male Wistar rats...

in the present work, graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method. the structure of graphene was then confirmed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscope (tem) images. after that, mixed acid method (h2so4/hno3) was used to make the structure of synthesized graphenehydrophilic. in this method, carboxylate and hydroxide groups were linked to the edges of gr...

Intercellular communication most likely plays a significant coordinating role in morphogenesis. Blockage of a specific type of intercellular communication, that mediated by gap junctions, has been proposed as a mechanism of action of some teratogens. Several glycol ethers have recently been shown to be teratogenic in laboratory animals. Because these compounds are negative in genotoxic assays, ...

Uniform multicolor upconversion luminescent RE(3+) doped NaYF(4) nanocubes are fabricated through a facile ethylene glycol (EG)/ionic liquid interfacial synthesis route at 80 degrees C, with the ionic liquids acting as both reagents and templates.

Abstract The mathematical modeling of hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer with entropy generation toward parabolic trough surface collector (PTSC) inside the solar-powered ship (SPS) is performed. model used non-Newtonian Oldroyd-B amidst a constant inclined magnetic field influence being considered. then reduced by adopting appropriate similarity transformation into higher-order nonlinear ...

OBJECTIVE To develop an efficient technique to preserve primordial follicles from cryopreserved ovarian tissue. DESIGN Frozen-thawed and fresh preantral follicles were mechanically isolated for viability testing, and their morphology was histologically analyzed. SETTING Laboratory of Animal Reproduction, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechny, University State of São Paulo, Brazil. ...
