Introduction: Cadmium is recognized worldwide as a toxic metal. In this study, Solvent-Assisted Dispersive Solid Phase Extraction (SA-DSPE) combined with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS), was used for determination of trace amounts of Cadmium (Cd-II)) in drinking water samples. Correspondence: Omid Rahmanian, PhD. ...

A simple and efficient homogenous liquid-liquid extraction method performed in a narrow tube combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method has been presented for the simultaneous determination of two antiepileptic drugs in urine followed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. In this method, a mixture of acetonitrile and urine sample (homogenous solution) is load...

Type III secretion system (T3SS) plays important roles in bacteria and host cell interactions by specifically translocating type III effectors into the cytoplasm of the host cells. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the bacterial type III effectors determine their specific secretion via type III secretion conduits. It is still unclear as to how the N-terminal sequences guide this specificit...

Electrospun nanofiber membranes are employed in a variety of applications due to its unique features. the nanofibers' characterizations effected by polymer solution. The used solvent for dissolving powder is critical preparing precursor In this paper, Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based nanofibers were prepared concentration 10 wt.% using various solvents (NMP, DMF, and DMSO). surface morphology, por...

Piroxicam has two different crystalline forms (known as needle and cubic forms), that they are different in physicochemical properties such as biological solubility. In the current research, using Taguchi experimental design approach the influences of five operating variables on formation of the piroxicam polymorph shapes in recrystallization were studied. The variables include type of solvent,...

We determine the solvent mediated contribution to the effective potentials for model colloidal or nanoparticles dispersed in a binary solvent that exhibits fluid-fluid phase separation. The interactions between the solvent particles are taken to be purely repulsive point Yukawa pair potentials. Using a simple density functional theory we calculate the density profiles of both solvent species in...
