poly(p-n-chlorostyrenesulphonamide) synthesized via direct chlorination of poly[(p-styrene) sulphonamide], can be used for selective chlorination of aromatic compounds. aromatic rings of the anisole, p-xylene, ethylbenzene and toluene are chlorinated with good yields. the polymer can be recovery, rechlorinated and reused several times.

a nanocomposite membrane cu2+ ion-selective electrode has been constructed using a new compound ethyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxopyrimidine-5-carboxylat (etmoc) as a neutral ionophore. the electrode works properly. it responds to cu2+ ion with a sensitivity of 29.5 ± 0.2 mv/decade over the range 1.0 × 10−9 to 5.0 × 10−1m at ph 3.0-8.0. the limit of detection was 4.5 × ...

the present sought to draw a comparison between model predictive control performance and two other controllers named simple pi and selective pi in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. a nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in simulink® environment of matlab®. control schemes were designed to provide a s...

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) are the competitive inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (cox), the enzyme which mediates the bioconversion of arachidonic acid to inflammatory prostaglandins (pgs). their use is associated with the side effects such as gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. the therapeutic anti-inflammatory action of nsaids is produced by the inhibition of cox-2, while the ...

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris) are reported to be associated with increased bleeding tendency. while findings of recent studies explain a lot about the pathophysiology of this side-effect, there is a general tendency to discontinue ssris as harmful medications. we report two instances of dose-dependent relations between sertraline and bleeding tendency. bleeding diathesis was a...

background: the analysis of heavy metals at trace level is one of the main toxicologists concern, due to their vital rules in human`s life. cadmium is one of these toxic heavy metals, which released to the environment from various industries. methods: in order to determine cd (ii) ions in various matrices magnetic ion-imprinted polymer (iip) method has been developed and applied. this nano-sorb...

The side-eeect problem in AND/OR parallel execution of logic programs is complex and need to be further investigated. This paper presents a Selective Recomputation(SR) approach for handling side-eeects in the OR-forest model which can exploit both AND-and OR-parallelism. In contrast to merely AND-and merely OR-parallel execution models/systems, handling side-eeects in AND/OR parallel execution ...

We examined differences among 158 children, 44 with selective mutism (SM; M = 8.2 years, SD = 3.4 years), 65 with mixed anxiety (MA; M = 8.9 years, SD = 3.2 years), and 49 community controls (M = 7.7 years, SD = 2.6 years) on primary caregiver, teacher, and child reports of behavioral and socio-emotional functioning. Children with SM were rated lower than controls on a range of social skills, b...

The evolution of behavior has been notoriously difficult to study at the molecular level, but mouse genetic technology offers new promise. We applied selective breeding to increase voluntary wheel running in four replicate lines of Mus domesticus (S mice) while maintaining four additional lines through random breeding to serve as controls (C mice). The goal of the study was to identify the gene...

The sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) is an economically important aquaculture species in China. However, the serious individual growth variation often caused financial losses to farmers and the genetic mechanisms are poorly understood. In the present study, the extensively analysis at the transcriptome level for individual growth variation in sea cucumber was carried out. A total of 118946...
