Solvent effects on dimeric self-association of 2-pyrrolidinone: An ab initio study
(KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBL, 2001)
Full geometry optimizations were carried out for 2-pyrrolidinone (2-Py) and its dimer structures at the DFT (B3LYP) and HF levels in the gas phase and in solution. Additionally, single-point MP2/6-31G** calculations were ...
Differential effect of cold acclimation on blood composition in rats and hamsters
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2001)
Male rats and hamsters were exposed to a progressively lower air temperature and shorter photoperiod to simulate the onset of winter. Normothermic hamsters had a higher haematological oxygen carrying capacity (OCC) and ...
Total lipid content and fatty acid composition of the seeds of some Vicia L. species
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2001)
The seed oils of eight Vicia species (Leguminosae) were investigated for their total lipid contents and fatty acid compositions. The seed lipid contents were found to be between 2.30 and 3.91%. The fatty acid compositions ...
Poly(hydroxamic acid) hydrogels from poly(acrylamide): preparation and characterization
(SPRINGER-VERLAG, 2001)
Poly(hydroxamic acid) (PHA) hydrogels from crosslinked poly(acrylamide) (PAAm) hydrogels, containing different type crosslinkers such as such as N, N'-methylene bisacrylamide (N) and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (E). The ...
Inhibitor effect of omeprazole in isolated human myometrial smooth muscle
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2001)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of omeprazole, an H+-K+-ATPase inhibitor, in myometrial smooth muscle strips from women undergoing elective caesarean section at term. Isolated myometrial strips ...
Radiation induced superabsorbent hydrogels. Acrylamide/itaconic acid copolymers
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2001)
Acrylamide/itaconic acid hydrogels in the form of rods are prepared by gamma -irradiation of ternary mixtures of acrylamide/itaconic acid/water with 2.00-5.71 kGy gamma -rays. Spectroscopic and thermal characteristic the ...
Sequential ultrasonic leaching of strontium from sediments
(GORDON BREACH PUBLISHING, TAYLOR & FRANCIS GROUP, 2001)
The effects of ultrasonic excitation on the sequential leaching of Sr from sediments have been investigated. The sequential leaching scheme of Tessier partitions metals in sediments into exchangeable, carbonate bound, oxide ...
Bilateral chylothorax caused by pleuropulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis: A challenging problem in thoracic surgery
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS AS, 2001)
Massive left-sided pleural effusion in a 35-year-old man was initially diagnosed as idiopathic spontaneous chylothorax and treated with serial thoracenteses and left thoracotomy. Six weeks later, a right thoracotomy was ...
Disinfection of E-coli by the Ag-TiO2/UV system: lipidperoxidation
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2001)
The photocatalytic disinfection of Escherichia coli, a pathogenic micro-organism. was investigated. An aqueous suspension of the micro-organism (1 x 10(8) cfu/ml) and neat TiO2 or silver-loaded TiO2 Were irradiated with a ...
Host location and oviposition in a basal group of parasitic wasps: the subgenual organ, ovipositor apparatus and associated structures in the Orussidae (Hymenoptera, Insecta)
(SPRINGER, 2001)
Anatomical studies and behavioural observations indicate that representatives of the Orussidae use vibrational sounding to detect suitable oviposition sites. During host location, vibrations generated by tapping the tips ...
