Trichlorfon [O,O-dimethyl-(2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxy-ethyl) phosphonate] (TCF) is a kind of widely used organophosphorus pesticides. In this paper, the mechanism and possible oxidation products for the OH-initiated reactions of TCF are studied at the MPWB1K/6-311+G(3df,2p)//MPWB1K/6-...

Zinc ferrite nanoparticles were prepared via thermal treatment of their mixed hydroxides at 400°C–600°C. The mixed hydroxides were co–precipitated from their nitrates solutions using NaOH as precipitating agent. The effects of pH and calcination temperature on the microstructure of the prepared...

To enable enzymatic coupling of saccharides to proteins, several di- and trisaccharides were hydroxy-arylated using anhydrous transesterification with methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, catalyzed by potassium carbonate. This transesterification resulted in the attachment of up to...

Ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction based on the solidification of floating organic droplet combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultra violet (HPLC-UV) detection was applied for the extraction and determination of fluoxetine, citalopram, and venlafaxine...

These results indicate that the significant increase in toughness of KOH treated bones is the result of structural alterations that enhance the ability of the microstructure to dissipate energy during the failure process, thereby slowing crack propagation. Fracture surface analysis has helped explai...

Dilute-acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass enhances the ability of enzymes to hydrolyze cellulose to glucose, but produces many toxic compounds that inhibit fermentation of sugars to ethanol. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of treating hydrolysat...

We want to test an alternative treatment in the primary care setting, consisting of two different concentrations of potassium hydroxide solution. The study design is a double-blind, randomized clinical trial, using three types of topical treatment. The treatment consist of daily appl...

Polyhydroxylated hybrid molecules have been synthesized using a protocol based on the regioselective acylation of the target compounds with activated dicarboxylic acids catalyzed by Novozym-435. The procedure implies that the mixed ester derivatives prepared and isolated from the fir...

This report describes the development of a method that enables a rapid (less than 20s), quantitative, and irreversible reduction and inactivation of disulfide-containing proteins at room temperature (20 to 25 degrees C). The formula comprises the ingredients of optimized concentratio...
