Spectroscopic study of the aluminium/lumogallion system in the presence of non-ionic surfactants
1987
Abstract The effects of different non-ionic ethylene oxide condensate surfactants on the fluorescence and the molecular absorption of the aluminium/lumogallion system are reported. Ethylene oxide condensates with fatty alcohols give higher micellar enhancement factors than tert-octylphenols or nonylphenols; ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers provide only a 50% increase in the fluorescence of the complex. The aluminium/lumogallion seems to form mixed micelles with the fatty alcohol condensates; the strong complex/micelle interaction provides increased absorbance of the complex at 500 nm and higher fluorescence enhancement, allowing the detection of 0.11 μg l −1 aluminium.
Expectativas de los jóvenes respecto al consumo de alcohol: La práctica del botellón
2009
El objetivo de esta investigación ha sido conocer las expectativas de los adolescentes respecto al consumo de alcohol. Para llevar a cabo la consecución de dicha meta, hemos trabajado con una muestra de 311 adolescentes de la provincia de Almería, de los cuales un 47% son hombres y un 53% son mujeres. Para evaluar las expectativas en la muestra se ha utilizado la escala Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire (AEQ-III). Los resultados indican la distorsión en las expectativas de los jóvenes respecto al consumo de alcohol. En concreto, los adolescentes cuando toman alcohol creen aumentar su control de la situación y no perciben el daño que ocasionan en la vía pública cuando practican el botellón.
Data concerning the protein absorption and retention properties of xyloglucan-based hydrogel film
2018
In wound dressing applications, exudate absorption and retention are important properties. The data presented here assess the ability of the crosslinked xyloglucan-poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel films (XG-PVA), described in "Xyloglucan-based hydrogel films for wound dressing: Structure-property relationships" (Ajovalasit et al., 2018) [1] and "Biocompatibility, hemocompatibility and antimicrobial properties of xyloglucan-based hydrogel film for wound healing application" (Picone et al., 2019), to absorb and retain proteins. These properties were investigated by Comassie blue staining and electrophoresis of Fetal Serum Proteins. (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. This is an open …
Surface processes in selective photocatalytic oxidation of hydroxybenzyl alcohols by TiO2 P25
2023
Aryl aldehydes and acids are important industrial intermediates, but their synthesis from the corresponding alcohols often requires the use of high temperatures and harmful solvents and oxidant agents. Heterogeneous photocatalysis represents an interesting option for the partial oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes at room temperature using water as solvent. In this work, the partial photocatalytic oxidation of 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (salicyl alcohol) and 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol to the corresponding aldehydes and acids has been compared, under environmental-friendly conditions, employing TiO2 P25 as photocatalyst in water. The selectivity to the corresponding aldehydes and acids, under the s…
Alcohol abusive use increases facial trauma?
2016
Background Trauma is among the main death causes and morbidity in the world and is often related to the use of alcohol and its abuse has reached massive proportions, no matter if the country is developed or not, being considered as public health problem. Since there are very few randomized and prospective studies in literature about the association of facial trauma and the use of alcohol, this study aims to investigate the impact of alcohol use in facial trauma. Material and Methods This was a prospective and cross sectional study, involving facial trauma patients attended at Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Division of a State Hospital. Variables included patient´s profile, trauma etiology, faci…
Effects of confinement on insulin amyloid fibrils formation.
2006
Insulin, a 51-residue protein universally used in diabetes treatment, is known to produce amyloid fibrils at high temperature and acidic conditions. As for other amyloidogenic proteins, the mechanisms leading to nucleation and growth of insulin fibrils are still poorly understood. We here report a study of the fibrillation process for insulin confined in a suitable polymeric hydrogel, with the aim of ascertain the effects of a reduced protein mobility on the various phases of the process. The results indicate that, with respect to standard aqueous solutions, the fibrillation process is considerably slowed down at moderately high concentrations and entirely suppressed at low concentration. M…
Twisting and buckling: A new undulation mechanism for artificial swimmers
2012
Among the various locomotion strategies of the animal kingdom, the undulation locomotion is of particular interest for biomimetic applications. In this paper, we present an artificial swimmer set into motion by a new and non-trivial undulation mechanism, based on the twisting and buckling of its body. The swimmer consists of a long cylinder of ferrogel which is polarized transversely and in opposite directions at each extremity. When it is placed on a water film and submitted to a transverse oscillating magnetic field, the worm-like swimmer undulates and swims. Whereas symmetry breaking is due to the field gradient, the undulations of the worm result from a torsional buckling instability as…
L’integrazione dei Musulmani in Europa e la circolazione della banca e della finanza islamica (Integration of Muslims in Europe and Circulation of Is…
2018
Italian Abstract: Lo stabilizzarsi di comunita islamiche all'interno dell'Unione Europea impone l'attenzione sulle peculiarita legate alla realta islamica. Lo “spazio della sharī'a”, infatti, lungi dal confinarsi nel medio oriente si estende all'Unione Europea attraverso i luoghi di lavoro, le scuole, gli ospedali, i tribunali e i mercati. All’espansione dei modelli normativi islamici hanno contribuito, in particolare, le politiche di “ristrutturazione” dell'ordinamento islamico degli anni '80 del secolo scorso e l'intensificarsi dei flussi migratori a partire degli anni '90, creando un terreno fertile al dispiegarsi delle potenzialita della sharī'a a livello transnazionale, offrendo a sogg…
Derivatization of hydroxyl functional groups for liquid chromatography and capillary electroseparation
2013
The derivatization reactions commonly used to enhance the analytical signal in the HPLC and CE determination of compounds with hydroxyl functional groups are revised. Focus is placed on the determination of compounds having aliphatic alcohols and phenols while lacking other reactive functional groups. The derivatization with acyl chlorides, organic anhydrides, isocyanates and a variety of other approaches, including oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols, sulfonation, esterification with carboxylic acids, and the use of azides, sulfonyl chlorides and other reagents having miscellaneous leaving groups, is covered. Reactions mainly addressed to introduce a chromophore or a fluorophore in…
THE USE OF LACTOBACILLUS PENTOSUS 1MO TO SHORTEN THE DEBITTERING PROCESS TIME OF BLACK TABLE OLIVES (CV. ITRANA AND LECCINO): A PILOT-SCALE APPLICATI…
2006
Fifty lactobacilli isolated from black table olive brines were evaluated for their salt tolerance, resistance to oleuropein and verbascoside, and ability to grow in modified filter-sterilized brines. A strain of Lactobacillus pentosus was selected and used as a starter to ferment, in pilot plant, black olives (Itrana and Leccino cv.) in brines modified for pH, carbohydrate, and growth factor concentrations, at 28 degrees C. The temperature-controlled fermentation of Leccino cv. olives resulted in obtaining ready-to-eat, high-quality table olives in a reduced-time process. HPLC analysis of phenolic compounds from fermented olives showed a decrease of oleuropein, a glucoside secoiridoid respo…
