Quasi-hydrostatic compression of aluminum carbide, Al4C3 has been studied to 6 GPa at room temperature using energy-dispersive X-ray powder diffraction with synchrotron radiation. A fit of the experimental p–V data to the Birch equation of state yields the values of the bulk modulus, B0, of 130...

A formal synthesis of the antibiotic althiomycin has been completed preliminary to studies of the interaction of this compound with prokaryotic ribosomes.

Heparinase depolymerized low molecular weight (LMW) heparin (Tinzaparin sodium, Logiparin®) was radiolabelled by catalytic tritiation to high specific radioactivity and the binding to fetal bovine heart endothelial (FBHE) cells was studied at 4°C and 37°C. The binding was found to be time depe...

BackgroundLow-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is increasingly being prescribed for prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic diseases. Despite the fact that its therapeutic use is considered to be safe, it can be complicated by major hemorrhage and, in contrast to unfractionated heparin, it ca...

BackgroundLow molecular weight heparin is routinely used for thromboprophylaxis in pregnancy and the puerperium. Consensus guidelines recommend waiting 10–12 h after administration of a thromboprophylactic dose of low molecular weight heparin before performing a neuraxial block or removing an e...

BackgroundLow molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is the preferred anticoagulant for the prevention and treatment of VTE in pregnancy. While dosing of LMWH based on weight alone is standard for most non-pregnant patients, there is no data on the utility of this approach in pregnancy.

ObjectiveThis study was undertaken to assess the pharmacodynamic profile, safety, and efficacy of tinzaparin during pregnancy.

Protein bound toxins are poorly removed by conventional extracorporeal therapies. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. The interaction between tinzaparin, an inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme and human serum albumin, a princip...

IntroductionThe low-molecular-weight heparins have been demonstrated to have antiangiogenic effects in various assays. We aimed to demonstrate and compare the antiangiogenic effects of four types of commercially available low-molecular weight heparins in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane...

The paper reviews the information available concerning the mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects of antimony. A claim that antimony compounds could have mutagenic properties is based on insufficient and not particularly relevant data. Additional experiments, particularly with organic a...

A new adsorbent was synthesized with antimony oxide and barium sulfate to be used in the purification of copper electrolyte. The adsorbent possesses not only the properties of common adsorbents, but also special merits of its own. It can adsorb antimony from copper electrolyte, which then become...

Bioremediation of metal(loid)-contaminated water could be a cost-effective process. In this work, Sb-polluted water was treated by application of a mixed batch culture of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Aqueous Sb could be efficiently removed by the SRB over an initial pH range 5–8. The SRB wa...

The oxygen electrode plays a crucial role in performance and lifetime of water electrolyzers and regenerative fuel cells due to its slow electrochemical processes under rigorously oxidizing or reducing environments. Herein, we report the use of titanium carbonitride as an efficient and stable su...

It is well known that titanium carbonitrides (Ti(C,N)) release carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen (N2) upon heat treatment, which can influence further processing such as sintering. Thus a deeper understanding concerning the driving forces of the degassing behavior could facilitate the developmen...

The effect of titanium carbonitride (TiCN) as a new support for platinum-tin nanoparticulated catalysts for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in acid medium was evaluated. For that purpose, two platinum-tin catalysts supported on TiCN and carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R) were synthesized followin...

Carbon anchored titanium carbonitride for supercapacitor electrode material was prepared by a direct semi-solid-sate carbonitridation method. The prepared sample is highly conductive and mesoporous (250 m2 g−1), enabling fast electron transfer and ion transport. As a result, a high capacitance o...

A series of lanthanide containing mixed-valent vanadium (III/IV) silicates of the type CaxLn1−xVSiO5 (Ln = Ce–Nd, Sm–Lu, Y) was synthesized as high quality single crystals from a molten chloride eutectic flux, BaCl2/NaCl. Utilizing Ca metal as the reducing agent, an in-situ reduction of V5+ to...

The phenomenon associated with the ion-exchange of silver ions into the microporous vanadosilicate EVS-10 is explored. EVS-10 is a vanadium-substituted form of the titanosilicate ETS-10 and is composed of corner-sharing orthogonal chains of vanadia octahedra which connect through silicate bridge...

In order to apply the vanadium (V) stable isotope system for studies of planetary accretion and evolution in the solar system and redox variations in terrestrial magmatic processes, the V isotope composition of the Bulk Silicate Earth (BSE) needs to be precisely constrained. Previous studies hav...

Vanadium silicate (EVS) is a vanadium-substituted form of titanosilicate that has a high potential for use as a sorbent for mercury removal. In the present study, EVS with supported silver nanoparticles (EVS-Ag100) as the catalytic sorbent was synthesized for elemental mercury (Hg°) capture. Th...
