Mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraethylene glycols and polyethylene glycols (PEG) with molecular weight up to 20,000 were degraded by soil microorganisms. A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa able to use a PEG of average molecular weight 20,000 was isolated from soil. Washed cells oxidized mono- and tetraethylene glycols, but O2 consumption was not detectable when such cells were incubated for short per...

Mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers based on either polyether or polycarbonate (PC)-glycols, 4,4'-dipheylmethane diisocyanate (1,1'-methylenebis(4-isocyanatobenzene)), 1,4-butanediol, were controlled by restriction of crystallization of polymer glycols. For the polyether glycol based-polyurethane elastomers (PUEs), poly(oxytetramethylene) glycol (PTMG), and PTMG incor...

Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations have been performed to investigate the localization and adsorption behavior of benzene and propylene, which are involved in the cumene synthesis process, in purely siliceous MWW zeolite (ITQ-1). From the mass clouds of GCMC simulations, it can be seen that the benzene and propylene molecules show different localization and adsorption behavior in th...

This paper studies the effect of type and concentration selected frothers, gas flowrate, pore size porous frit on bubble sizes (Sauter mean diameter, SMD) bubbling flow produced in a micro-flotation cell, determination distribution (BSD) presence frothers. The commercial frothers polypropylene glycols (PPG 200, 400, 600), tri propylene glycol (BTPG), triethylene (BTEG), dipropylene (BDPG), Meth...

Management ofMeloidogyne incognita by chemigation with fenamiphos was studied in an infested field planted to M. incognita-suscepfible yellow summer squash cv. Dixie Hybrid. Fenamiphos (VL 73.1% a.i. manufacturing concentrate in propylene glycol) was mixed with Unitol DSR-90 or used as fenamiphos 3 SC (spray concentrate). Both formulations, applied with 63.5 kl irrigation water per hectare, dec...

Attempts to cryopreserve oocytes by freezing have, to date, been based mostly on empirical approaches rather than on basic principles, and perhaps in part for this reason have not been very successful. Theoretical considerations suggest some fairly ‘heretical’ conclusions. The concentrations of permeating cryoprotectants employed in past studies have probably been inadequate, and the choice of ...

Propylene glycol (PG) is commonly used as a solvent for odorous chemicals employed in studies of the olfactory system because PG has been considered to be odorless for humans and other animals. However, if laboratory rats can detect the vapor of PG and if exposure to this influences behaviors, such effects might confound data obtained from experiments exposing conscious rats to odorants dissolv...

The purpose of this research is to study any effects of managerial strategies on prevention of ketosis metabolic disorder in transition period in Shahroud commercial dairy farms. For this purpose, a questionnaire was prepared in order to obtain required information about the performance of these managerial strategies, performance costs, involvement situation with disorders relying upon clinical...
