method previously employed by westoo for the determination of alkylmercury compounds was producing very wide picks during g.c. analyses. changing the column temperature, carrier gas flow and pressure did not supersede the problem. therefore change in packing materials was experienced. 5% dc-200 on gas-chrom did not work. a packing material used for chlorinated hydrocarbons w, 80-100 mesh. as th...

the stereochemistry of the actinide elements has recently undergone considerable development and a wide variety of coordination numbers and geometries have been observed. this structural versatility arises from the lack of strong crystal field effects for the 5f-electronic configurations as well as from the large ionic radii of these metal ions, which change markedly with oxidation number, or a...

A noun-compound is a compressed proposition that requires an audience to recover the implicit relationship between two concepts that are expressed as nouns. Listeners recover this relationship by considering the most typical relations afforded by each concept. These relational possibilities are evident at a linguistic level in the syntagmatic patterns that connect nouns to the verbal actions th...

Chromium occurs in the environment primarily in two valence states, trivalent chromium (Cr III) and hexavalent chromium (Cr VI). Exposure may occur from natural or industrial sources of chromium. Chromium III is much less toxic than chromium (VI). The respiratory tract is also the major target organ for chromium (III) toxicity, similar to chromium (VI). Chromium (III) is an essential element in...

fats and oils are made of triglycerides. the fatty acids are the main constituents of triglycerides. there are minor components present in the oils and fats that are of great importance in human health, namely tocopherols and phenolic compounds that exhibit antioxidant activities. the concentrations of these compounds vary during ripening and maturation of olives. the object of the present stud...

fungi produce a wide range of secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, toxins, alkaloids, fatty acids, ketones and alcohols during active cell growth. the present study was aimed to identify secondary metabolites from some penicillium species, using gc-ms. many important compounds such as 3-oxoquinuclidine in penicillium jenseii, formamidine in penicillium pusillum, orcinol and 1,3,8-p-mentha...

in this study, gerbera ( cv. alain ducasse ) cut flowers were treated with essences of eucalyptus and rosa damascena at a concentration of 200 mg l -1 and their effects on the vase life of flowers and some qualitative characteristics were evaluated. this research was a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement. maximum vase life was obtained for flowers treated with the eucalyptus...

background controlling parenchymal hemorrhage especially in liver parenchyma, despite the progress in surgical science, is still one of the challenges that surgeons face when trying to save patients’ lives. researchers in the field are challenging to introduce a more effective method. objectives the current study aimed to determine the haemostatic effect of alum [kal (so4)2] and compare it with...
