To predict the degree of accumulation of hepatic metabolic inhibitors in the liver from the in vitro data, we investigated the relationship between cell/medium concentration ratios (C/M ratios) in isolated rat hepatocytes and liver/blood unbound concentration (K(Bf)) after i.v. administration of various metabolic inhibitors such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, verapamil, diltiazem, enoxacin, cip...

we report the development of different types of oxygen sensors based on yittria-stabilized zirconia (ysz) as a solid electrolyte. the conventional oxygen sensor is a concentration cell with two porous pt electrodes, one of which is exposed to air as a constant (reference) oxygen concentration and the other is exposed to automobile exhaust gas of variable oxygen concentration, depending on the a...

L-Arginine (Arg or R) is a non-toxigenic, metabolically versatile and conditionally essential amino acid. Single-pot synthesis of Arg modified magnetic nanoparticles (RMNPs) was achieved using magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) and binary function of Arg as a functional group and an alkali precipitator. This modification is supposed to offer several advantages to the MNPs from a bio-application vie...

We investigate experimentally the influence of suspended particles on the transition to turbulence. The particles are monodisperse and neutrally buoyant with the liquid. The role of the particles on the transition depends upon both the pipe to particle diameter ratios and the concentration. For large pipe-to-particle diameter ratios the transition is delayed while it is lowered for small ratios...
