In this paper we have studied the 4-hydroxyl-2,5dimethylphenyl-benzophenone. Also, it was analyzed the vibrational assignment (FT-IR and Raman) in conjunction with computational results. The conformational analysis showed three barrier heights where two are due to the dihedral rotation and the o...

β-cyclocitral and β-ionone are ones of major algal odorants produced by oxidation of the β-carotene that exists in algae cells. These compounds degraded the quality of drinking water therefore it needed to be treated in drinking water treatment by advanced oxidation processes. In this study, ...

The volatile compounds of Volvariella volvacea mushroom were investigated by solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE)/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS), gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O), odor activity value (OAV), combined with aroma reconstitution and omission. The results s...

In this paper a novel, simple method for synthesis of lake pigments based on 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone dye and LDH carbonates was proposed. LDHs were modified with 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone, transforming the soluble dye into a new kind of hybrid lake. In result, the solvent resistance and phot...

We report photophysical properties of 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone (alizarin) confined in methanol-in-oil reverse micelles by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The formation of reverse micelles and confinement of alizarin molecules inside the reverse micelles were confirmed...

Biosolids are extensively used in agriculture as fertilizers while offering a practical solution for waste disposal. Many pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), such as triclosan and triclocarban, are enriched in biosolids. Biosolid amendment changes soil physicochemical properties, ...

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to dietary levels of 500, 250 and 125 ppm of 3,4′-5-tribromosalicylanilide (TBS) for 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 weeks. Five hundred ppm of hexachlorophene (HCP) was used for comparison. TBS did not cause any functional or morphologic signs of neurotoxicity. HCP p...

Three patients with photoallergy to 3,4',5 tribromosalicylanilide (TBS) following the use of a germicidal soap were studies to determine the mechanism of their photoallergy. None of these subjects had undergone previous patch or photopatch testing. Duplicate patches of purified TBS and its ...

In the present study, we report the preparation of antifungal and non-cytotoxic polymer nanocomposites with potential application in biomedical materials. Dodecanethiol-protected silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-DDT) were synthesized by a reduction/precipitation method and dispersed in chloroform to ...

The value of superhydrophobicity in metal corrosion inhibition has generated wide interest due to the high repellent capability from the versatile surface. In this report, using a facile electrolysis approach, we have realized the superhydrophobic film onto Cu surface by the coordination with do...

The lipophilicity of 22 nicotinate esters was examined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using methanol-water and acetonitrile-water as eluents. In the former system, a linear relationship exists between the log of the capacity factor (log k) and the fraction of modifier i...

The phase behaviour of PBO3O4, a liquid crystalline polyetherester derived from 4′-hydroxy-1,1′-biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid and the ether-diol 4-(3-hydroxypropoxy)butan-1-ol, has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), real-time synchrotron X-ray diffraction, optical micro...

The structure of 3-([5-(t-butyl)-2-hydroxyphenyl]iminomethyl)[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-ol has been analyzed with the combined use NMR and X-ray techniques. It has been noticed that this compound exists in the phenol form in solution but seems to prefer a quinone arrangement in the solid state.

The thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) behaviour and the colour reactions of 20 chlorobiphenylols (i.e., chlorohydroxybiphenyls) and the corresponding monohydroxy- and dihydroxybiphenyls have been studied and a number of correlations between structure and chromatographic properties made. Particula...

In this work, a novel, simple and fast method based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) followed by high-speed gas chromatography (HSGC) was developed for the analysis of total 1,3-octanediols in apple juices by means of derivatization reaction to volatile 1,3-dioxanes. The derivatization reac...

Fifty mature pony stallions were randomly assigned to one of five treatment groups: Group 1- controls (no treatment), Group 2 - 0.55 mg/kg stanozolol weekly for 13 treatments, Group 3 - 1.1 mg/kg stanozolol every 3 weeks for 5 treatments, Group 4 - 1.1 mg/kg boldenone undecylenate every 3 weeks ...

A total of 17 bulls was used to study the effects of boldenone undecylenate on growth and semen characteristics in beef bulls. In trial 1 nine mature mixed-breed beef bulls with satisfactory semen quality were divided into two groups. Group I (n = 5) received boldenone undecylenate (1.1 mg/kg) a...

An experimental study on autoignition of two binary blends, n-dodecane/1-methylnaphthalene and iso-cetane/1-methylnaphthalene, has been conducted using a rapid compression machine. Specifically, the ignition delays of the stoichiometric blend+air mixtures were measured at elevated pressures of P...

The SOA yield and chemical characteristics of SOA formation from naphthalene and two methyl substituted naphthalenes, 1-methylnaphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene, were studied for high NOx, low NOx, and ultra-low NOx conditions. The SOA yields are high compared to previous studies for all three ...

Long and tortuous pores in granular porous carbons for supercapacitors result in inferior rate capability and low capacitance. Sheet-like porous carbons with short pore length show potential applications as supercapacitor electrode materials. Herein, wrinkled porous carbon nanosheets (WPCNSs) we...
