Development of CCC-NHC pincer Co complexes via transmetalation from Zr is reported. Formation of these air-stable Co(iii) complexes was achieved through use of a CoCl2 or Co(acac)3in situ or with a discrete CCC-NHC pincer Zr transmetallating agent. Preliminary activity in the hydroboration of styrene is reported. This facile methodology will further the development of CCC-NHC pincer first-row t...

Helox (79% helium and 21% oxygen) has often been used for thermobiological studies, primarily because helium is thought to be metabolically inert and to produce no adverse effects other than increasing heat loss. However, these assumptions have been questioned. As basal metabolic rate (BMR) represents maintenance energy requirements for vital body functions, potential physiological effects of h...

The objective of current study was to determine the effects of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) on physiological features of Black Cumin seeds. Black Cumin seeds were divided into 4 groups: one control group and three experimental groups. The experimental groups were exposed to NTAP for 5, 10 and 20 minutes, respectively. Then the seeds of the experimental and control groups grew for 21 da...

diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder, causes many complications such as micro- and macro-vascular diseases. anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic and anti-oxidative properties of ginger have been noticed in several researches. the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of ginger on fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin a1c, apolipoprotein b, apolipoprotein a-i, and malondial...

Thermal denaturation of a-Lactalbumin in the absence and presence of various concentrations of sucrose,sorbitol, glucose and galactose as sugar osmolytes were measured by monitoring changes in the absorptions thatcarried out in a Lambd 35 UV-Vis double beam spectrophotometer at pH 6.0. These measurements gave valuesof T., (midpoint of denaturation), AH., (enthalpy change at T.), and ACp (consta...

Chemical denaturation and thermal denaturation of13-lactoglobulin A (f3 — lgA) in the absenceand presence of various concentrations sugar osmolytes and polyols were measured bymonitoring changes in the absorption coefficients at pH 2.0. It has been observed that AGD°(H20), (Gibbs free energy change in absence of denaturant at 25 °C) of f3-1gA in the presenceof 10% (w/v) Trehalose, Sucrose, Sorb...

In Brazil, due to its availability, sugar cane bagasse has a high potential for power generation. The knowledge of ignition behavior, as well as the knowledge of the chemical kinetics, in of fuels combustion process is important features in boilers projects and in the stability of the combustion process control. The aim of this study is to investigate the thermal behavior of sugar cane bagasse,...
