To isolate the bright-greenish-yellow-fluorescence (BGY-F) material associated with aflatoxin contamination on cotton lint, various in vitro chemical and in vivo natural BGY-F reaction products were prepared. BGY-F material was obtained from reactions involving (1) kojic acid (KA) and H2O2, (b) KA, peroxidase, and H2O2, (c) fresh cotton locules treated with KA and H2O2, (d) detached cotton locu...

Phase separation in mixtures of polymers and alkanes is investigated with the aid of a recently developed lattice model, based on the Born-Green-Yvon (BGY) integral equation approach to fluids. The system-dependent parameters of the BGY lattice model for binary mixtures are deduced from those of its pure components, which in turn are determined from a comparison with experimental data. The lowe...

Combined with an approximation suggested by Taylor and Lipson for the third-order correlation function and the translational invariance approximation, the BGY equation is used to calculate the conformation and thermodynamic properties of a diblock square-well copolymer or a random square-well copolymer. The BGY results for the end-to-end distribution of copolymers are in good agreement with Mon...

We describe an efficient numerical algorithm for solving integral equations commonly used in the theory of the primitive electrode. The method is applied to an approximation obtained from the first Born-Green-Yvon (BGY) equation using a modified Croxton-McQuarrie local neutrality ansatz, with accurate bulk correlations. For 1 M solutions of 1-1 electrolytes, and 0.5 M solutions of 2-2,2-1, and ...

A known generalization of the Stillinger-Lovett sum rule for a guest charge immersed in a two-dimensional one-component plasma (the second moment of the screening cloud around this guest charge) is more simply retrieved, just by using the BGY hierarchy for a mixture of several species; the zeroth moment of the excess density around a guest charge immersed in a two-component plasma is also obtai...

We present a stochastic description of a model of N mutually interacting active particles in the presence of external fields and characterize its steady state behavior in the absence of currents. To reproduce the effects of the experimentally observed persistence of the trajectories of the active particles we consider a Gaussian force having a non-vanishing correlation time τ, whose finiteness ...

The equilibrium density profiles in a classical multicomponent plasma near a hard wall made with a dielectric material characterized by a relative dielectric constant ǫ w are studied from the first Born-Green-Yvon (bgy) equation combined with Poisson equation in a regime where Coulomb coupling is weak inside the fluid. In order to prevent the collapse between charges with opposite signs or betw...
