In this present work, a thermophysical property characterization of aqueous ternary system containing n-tris-[hydroxymethyl]methyl-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid (TAPS) and glycol was done. Thermophysical properties, including refractive index, density, and electrolytic conductivity, measurements w...

Vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data are reported for five binary systems involving propylene glycols. VLE data have been measured in the temperature range of 350.15–510.15 K and pressure up to 34.374 kPa for the binary systems: 1,2-propanediol (monopropylene glycol, MPG) + 2-[2-(2-hydroxypropo...

Polyethers are subject to oxidative degradation. An examination of the possible degradation mechanisms suggests a protective substitution, which has been shown to be effective on short chain polyglycols. Inserting a methylene group at the end of triethylene and tripropylene glycols, between the ...

The effect of temperature on the kinetics of the photopolymerization of tripropylene glycol diacrylate was studied by real-time FTIR–attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy. The temperature behaviour of the polymerization rate was found to be dependent on the photoinitiator used. The ind...

Natural luminosity and chemiluminescence imaging diagnostics were employed to investigate if a 50/50 blend by volume of tripropylene-glycol monomethyl ether (TPGME) and ultra-low sulfur #2 diesel certification fuel (CF) could enable leaner-lifted flame combustion (LLFC), a non-sooting mode of mi...

In this present work, new experimental data for density and vapour pressure of the mixed-solvent desiccant systems containing {40 wt% glycol (propylene or dipropylene or tripropylene) + (4 or 9 or 16 wt%) magnesium chloride salt + water} were reported for temperatures up to 343.15 K at normal at...

Support structures and materials are indispensable components in many Additive Manufacturing (AM) systems in order to fabricate complex 3D structures. For inkjet-based AM techniques (known as Material Jetting), there is a paucity of studies on specific inks for fabricating such support structure...

Vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data are reported for five binary systems involving aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene) and tripropylene glycol (2-[2-(2-hydroxypropoxy)propoxy]propan-1-ol). VLE data was determined by using a static method for the binar...

Low emission in diesel engines increases the importance of low fuel consumption and high efficiency. In this experimental study, the parts forming the combustion chamber were coated with ceramic materials, which had low thermal conductivity and resistance to high operating temperature, in order ...

The sodium/iodide symporter is an intrinsic membrane protein that actively transports iodide into thyroid follicular cells. It is a key element in thyroid hormone biosynthesis and in the radiotherapy of thyroid tumours and their metastases. Sodium/iodide symporter is a very hydrophobic protein t...

Dysfunction of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), which regulates salt and water homeostasis in epithelia, causes several human pathological conditions, including pulmonary oedema. This is a potentially lethal complication of acute lung injury at least partially caused by dysfunctional alveol...

Sulfur (S) assimilation leads to synthesis of reduced glutathione (GSH), a thiol compound known for its involvement in abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, the influence of sufficient-S (100 mg S kg−1 soil) and excess-S (200 mg S kg−1 soil) was studied on photosynthesis and growth of mustard...

In this study, an ecofriendly analytical method was developed for determining glutathione (GSH) levels in biomatrix samples. 9-(bromomethyl)acridine was used for the first time as a derivatization reagent in GSH analysis. Microwave-assisted derivatization reduced the reaction time to 1 min. Afte...

Cytosolic glutathione S-transferase is a family of multi-functional enzymes involved in the detoxification of a large variety of xenobiotic and endobiotic compounds through glutathione conjugation. The three-dimensional structure of Escherichia coli glutathione S-transferase complexed with gluta...

A mechanistic study was performed to elucidate the biochemical events connected with the cocarcinogenic effect of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Glutathione S-sulfonate (GSSO3H), a competitive inhibitor of the glutathione S-transferases, forms in lung cells exposed in culture to sulfite, the hydrated for...

A method for simultaneous detection of picomole quantities of glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG), glutathione S-sulfonate (GSSO3H), and cysteine S-sulfonate (CYSSO3H) by high-performance liquid chromatography has been developed. Compounds are separated by anion-exchange chromatograp...

Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) is considered a less-toxic replacement for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), with multiple applications in industrial and consumer products. Previous studies comparing their toxicity generally used similar exposure levels, without taking internal concentrations i...

Bispyridinium oximes with one (K865, K866, K867) or two (K868, K869, K870) ortho-positioned chlorine moiety, analogous to previously known K027, K048 and K203 oximes, and potent reactivators of human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibited by nerve agents, were tested in the reactivation of human ...

Allylic phosphonate of trans-zeatin was converted into the corresponding phosphoromorpholidate, which on treatment with the mono-( tri-n-butylammonium) phosphate gave the allylic pyrophosphate of trans-zeatin 1c.

Phosphitylation of the allylic hydroxy group in 9-tetrahydropyranyltrans-zeatine with salicyl chlorophosphite gives the allyl phosphonate monoester 5, which can be readily converted into the corresponding phosphate 7, methylphosphate 8 or thiophosphate 9. After cleavage of the tetrahydropyranyl ...
