A simple and convenient procedure was u sed for studying plant m erist ematic tissues. Tissues were fixed in 4% glutaraldehyde, dehydrated in a t ertiary butyl alcohol series and embedded in SPURR's m edium. Sectioning may be done with a glass knife in an inexpensively made holder fitted t o a rotary microtome. Sta ining with 0.5 % aqueous safranin or fast green was followed by counter st a ini...

Vapor condensates of baseline gasoline (BGVC), or gasoline-blended with methyl tertiary butyl ether (G/MTBE), ethyl t-butyl ether (G/ETBE), t-amyl methyl ether (G/TAME), diisopropyl ether (G/DIPE), ethanol (G/EtOH), or t-butyl alcohol (G/TBA) were evaluated for reproductive toxicity in rats at target concentrations of 2000, 10,000, or 20,000mg/m(3), 6h/day, 7days/week. BGVC and G/MTBE were asse...

In the title compound, C(14)H(18)N(2)O(3)S, the butyl acetate fragment and the benzoyl group adopt a cis-trans configuration, respectively, with respect to the thiono S atom across the C-N bonds. In the crystal packing, the mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a one-dimensional chain along the c axis. The terminal butyl C atom is disordered with occupa...

Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed via inhalation to vapor condensates of either gasoline or gasoline combined with various fuel oxygenates to assess potential neurotoxicity of evaporative emissions. Test articles included vapor condensates prepared from "baseline gasoline" (BGVC), or gasoline combined with methyl tertiary butyl ether (G/MTBE), ethyl t-butyl ether (G/ETBE), t-amyl methyl ether (G...

In the present research, synthesis of new 2-(3-chlorobenzyl)-1H-benzimidazole derivatives bearing Nbenzylidene, 1,2,4-triazole and N-acylhydrazone moiety is investigated. These novel compounds have been tested for their antimicrobial effects against two of Gram-positive bacterial strains, namely Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and four Gram-negative bacterial strains which wer...

Experiments in pulse-injected flow reactors show that gas-phase pyrolysis of alcohols makes a transition from dehydrogenation dominance for mono-alcohols to dehydration and fragmentation for tested diols and a triol. These dehydration and dehydrogenation reactions are proposed to occur by unimolecular and bimolecular pericyclic reactions, as has been used to explain glucose and cellulose pyroly...

The rates of oxidation of adenosine and chlorogenic acid by tert-butoxyl radicals (t-BuO) were studied by measuring the absorbance of adenosine at 260 nm and chlorogenic acid at 328 nm spectrophotometrically. t-BuO radicals were generated by the photolysis of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) in presence of tert-butyl alcohol to scavenge OH radicals. The rates and the quantum yields (phi) of o...
