The effects of 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) plus dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) soil treatments on soilborne pests and tomato growth were evaluated in one laboratory study and two field trials. The laboratory study established that the combined effects were more efficient than the individual effects. ...

High-resolution 13C NMR spectra were recorded for solid [Me2Ph2P]+I− and [Me3PhP]+I− using high-power decoupling, cross-polarization, and magic-angle rotation. Spectra of the ipso carbon, obtained with the nonquaternary suppression (dipolar dephasing) pulse sequence, show an unequal distribution...

Novel derivatives of spiroimidazolidinedione were synthesized and evaluated as hypoglycemic agents through binding to sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) in pancreatic beta-cells. Their selectivity index was calculated against both aldehyde reductase (ALR1) and aldose reductase (ALR2). Aldehyde reduc...

Dehydrofluorination of 1H:5H-hexafluorocyclopentene with molten potassium hydroxide gives 2H-pentafluorocyclopentadiene, which dimerizes readily. Dehydrofluorination of 3H/4H-hexafluorocyclopentene gives a mixture of the 1H- and 2H-pentafluorocyclopentadienes. The 1H-diene also dimerizes.

Reaction of fused 3-(2-bromoethyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with primary alkylamines gave abnormal fused 3-alkyl-4-alkyliminopyrimidines via a new rearrangement, as well as normal substituted 3-(2-alkylaminoethyl) derivatives. Antidepressive evaluation of these compounds was performed by antireserpin...

The novel diamine–bis(ether–phosphine)ruthenium(II) complexes Cl2Ru(η1-Ph2PCH2CH2OCH3)2(diamine)2(3L1–3L11) have been obtained by reaction of equimolar amounts of Cl2Ru(P∩O)2 (2) with the respective diamines L1–L11 in good yields. X-ray structural investigations of 3L2 and 3L8 show monoc...

Three complexes of the general formula trans/cis-[Ru(II)(dppme)(NN)Cl2] {dppme is H2CC(CH2PPh2)2 and NN is 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (trans/cis-(1)) and 1-methyl-1,2-diaminopropane (trans-(2)} were obtained by reacting trans-[RuCl2(dppme)2] with an excess amount of corresponding diamine in CH2Cl2 a...

Iodonium ion (NIS/TfOH, cat.) assisted glycosylation of a sugar acceptor with properly protected enthyl(phenyl)-2-O-phenoxythiocarbonyl 1-thio-β-d-gluco- or 1-thio-α-d-mannopyranoside donors gives the respective 1,2-trans linked 2′-ethyl(phenyl)thio-2′-deoxy-α-d-manno- or β-d-glucopyranosides.

Lipogranulomas represent foreign body reactions to exogenous lipid or oil-like substances introduced into the skin. These lesions characteristically have round-to-ovoid, vacuole-like cavities of varying sizes in the dermis, which results in a Swiss cheese-like appearance. We present the case of ...

Native sodium caseinate-Vitamin A (Vit A) complex {Sodium caseinate-Vit A complex (NaCas-VA)}, and modified sodium caseinate-Vitamin A complexes {succinylated sodium caseinate-Vit A complex (SNaCas-VA), reassembled sodium caseinate-Vit A complex (RNaCas-VA) and reassembled succinylated sodium ca...

Native sodium caseinate-vitamin A (VA) complexes (Sodium caseinate-VA complex, NaCaS-VA) and modified sodium caseinate-VA complexes i.e. Succinylated sodium caseinate-VA complex (SNaCaS-VA), reassembled sodium caseinate-VA complex (RNaCaS-VA) and reassembled succinylated sodium caseinate-VA comp...

ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureus is not only a common cause of bovine mastitis, but also an agent of food poisoning in humans. In an attempt to determine whether staphylococci causing bovine mastitis could also cause food poisoning, 60 isolates of presumed S. aureus were isolated in the period betw...

Staphylococcus aureus (SA) food poisoning results from consumption of preformed S. aureus enterotoxins in food. The enterotoxins are one of the most important virulence factors of the bacterium. The risk posed by contamination of milk intended for human consumption by pathogenic S. aureus in pas...

A strategy for a label-free impedimetric immunosensor is described for detection of the textile dye Disperse Orange 1 (DO1). The compounds 1,12-diaminododecane (DADD) and then 1,7-diaminoheptane (DAH) were firstly successively grafted onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface by electro-oxida...

The conjugation of a symmetrical and an asymmetrical zinc phthalocyanine with amine functionalised cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (CoFe MNPs) for enhanced photophysics and photocatalysis is reported. The MNPs, 2-[5-(phenoxy)-isophthalic acid] 9(10), 16(17), 23(24)-tris (tertbutyl) phthalo...

Orange azo dichroic dye dependent droplet configuration and electro-optic (EO) characteristics of polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) were studied. PDLCs were prepared using a nematic liquid crystal (LC) and UV-curable liquid photopolymer in equal ratio by polymerization induced phase sepa...

Carotenoids, especially β-cryptoxanthin, exert multiple biological activities in the organism. Various processing techniques can improve carotenoid bioavailability in relation to the food matrix. The study objective was to compare the bioavailability of carotenoids from orange juice (OJ) with t...
