Synthesis, structure and biological properties of several binary and ternary complexes of copper(II) with ciprofloxacin and 1,10 phenanthroline
2009
In this study, a new binary complex [Cu(HCip) 2 ](NO 3 ) 2 · 6H 2 O ( 1 ) has been synthesized and then characterized by X-ray structure analyses. In this compound, each ciprofloxacin acts as a bidentate ligand resulting in a crystallographically planar configuration; the nitrate anions are located in apical positions with an axial distance significantly larger than the equatorial distances, which would be consistent with a very weak metal ion interaction due to the Jahn–Teller effect. In addition, both the synthesis and characterization of two new ternary complexes of ciprofloxacin–copper(II)–1,10-phenanthroline, [Cu(phen)(Cip)](NO 3 ) · 4H 2 O ( 2 ) and Cu(phen)(HCip)(NO 3 ) 2 · H 2 O (…

2000
The new ternary metal rich compound Hf27Si6P10 has been synthesized by reduction of HfP with Hf and Si; Hf27Si6P10 crystallizes in a new structure type, a characteristic and unexpected feature of which is the presence of P2 groups; the structural results are interpreted with the aid of high-level band structure calculations.
Child abuse/neglect risk assessment under field practice conditions: Tests of external and temporal validity and comparison with heart disease predic…
2015
AbstractObjectives (1) Identify validation design and accuracy assessment standards for medical prognostic models applicable to evaluation of child abuse/neglect (CA/N) risk assessment models. (2) Assess the accuracy of the California Family Risk Assessment (CFRA) in predicting CA/N using the foregoing standards. (3) Compare the prediction accuracy of the CFRA with the prediction accuracy of coronary heart disease (CHD) prediction models. Questions addressed (1) What validation design and accuracy assessment standards are used to evaluate medical prognostic models? (2) What is the evidence for the accuracy of the CFRA using those standards? (3) How does the accuracy of the CFRA in predictin…
The Chiral Anomaly
1989
The Dirac operator on a manifold M is a first order partial differential operator acting on sections of a spin bundle over M. The Dirac operator is elliptic when the metric of M is positive definite. The main task in this chapter is to study properties of the determinant of the Dirac operator.
Study of liquid–liquid extraction of ethanol + water azeotropic mixtures using two imidazolium-based ionic liquids
2018
Abstract The present work was focused on the study of two imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) as solvents in liquid–liquid extraction of ethanol from aqueous mixtures. With this aim, the experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of water (1) + ethanol (2) + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([emim][Tf2N]) (3) and water (1) + ethanol (2) + 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([hmim][Tf2N]) (4) systems were obtained at different temperatures: 283.2, 303.2, and 323.2 K, in order to check the influence of temperature. The results were correlated by non-random two-liquid (NRTL) and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) models with good c…
Determination of Caffeine in Analgesic Formulations Using the Apparent Content Curves Method
1994
Abstract The determination of caffeine by UV spectroscopy in pharmaceutical samples, containing different compounds which provide spectral interferences as aspirin, paracetamol, chlorfeniramine or propylphenazone, is carried out. The proposed procedure is based on the apparent content curves method in order to resolve binary, ternary and multicomponent mixtures. Results obtained are, in all cases, in agreement with contents found by a HPLC procedure used as reference method.
Effect of storage conditions on furosine formation in milk-cereal based baby foods
2008
[EN] The effect of storage during 9 months at 25, 30 and 37 degrees C on furosine formation in three milk-cereal based baby foods was studied to evaluate development of the Maillard reaction. Furosine was measured by HPLC-UV. Immediately after the manufacturing process, furosine contents were 310-340 mg/100 g protein and at the 9th storage month were 426-603 mg/100 g protein. Storage time and temperature have a significant increase (p < 0.05) of furosine content during storage. Furosine contents were higher in sample containing honey than in those without honey. Interactions (p < 0.05) between storage time and temperature or type of sample were found. A predictive model equation of the evol…
Role of Phase Behavior and Atomization in the Supercritical Antisolvent Precipitation
2003
An experimental study on supercritical antisolvent (SAS) precipitation has been performed to gain insight into the role of phase behavior and atomization in controlling morphology and dimension of precipitates. The mixture yttrium acetate/dimethyl sulfoxide has been used as the main model system and supercritical CO 2 has been used as the antisolvent. Two SAS apparatuses (laboratory and pilot scale) with two injector arrangements and operating with various injector diameters in the range 60-500 μm have been used. The results showed that operating above the mixture critical point (MCP) of the ternary mixture yttrium acetate/dimethyl sulfoxide/ carbon dioxide, sub-micrometric particles are ge…
Isobaric Vapor–Liquid–Liquid Equilibria for the Ternary Systems Ethanol + Water + Propyl Acetate and 1-Propanol + Water + Propyl acetate
2014
In order to break azeotropes appearing in mixtures of water and either ethanol or 1-propanol, an azeotropic distillation process is proposed using propyl acetate as entrainer. Therefore, isobaric vapor–liquid–liquid equilibrium (VLLE) data at atmospheric pressure have been obtained for the ternary systems ethanol + water + propyl acetate and 1-propanol + water + propyl acetate. Data correlation has been carried out in four different ways and a comparison between the results obtained in each correlation has been done. The set of parameters obtained from the best correlation has been used in the VLLE estimation. Effects of using propyl acetate as entrainer in the azeotropic distillation have …
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for 1-Propanol + Water + Calcium Nitrate
1999
Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for all of the binary and ternary mixtures of 1-propanol, water, and calcium nitrate have been measured at 100.00 kPa using a recirculating still. The addition of calcium nitrate to the solvent mixture produced an important salt effect; the azeotrope was removed at salt mole fractions higher than 0.08. The three experimental binary data sets were independently fitted with the electrolyte NRTL model (Mock, B.; Evans, L. B.; Chen, C. C. AIChE J. 1986, 32, 1655−1664), and the parameters of Mock's model were estimated for each binary system. No ternary parameter was required. These parameters were used to predict the ternary vapor−liquid equilibrium using the sa…
