Micellar fluorescence enhancement of carbamate pesticides

1990

Abstract Different studies have been carried out on the interaction of carbamate pesticides, such as carbofuran and carbaryl, with nonionic and anionic surfactants. Micellar fluorescence enhancements (MEF) of 15–20 for carbofuran in the presence of fatty alcohol ethylene oxide condensates, and of 3.7–8.6 in the presence of anionic surfactants at neutral pH have been obtained. Carbaryl does not interact with surfactants, but when it is hydrolysed to 1-naphthol, MEF values of the order of 2 are obtained in the presence of nonylphenol ethylene oxide condensates. The experimental parameters have been optimized in order to obtain maximum fluorescence. The mechanisms involved in the fluorescence …

Non-Vertebrate Nitric Oxide Synthases

2007

NO is an important signalling molecule making essential contributions to innate immunity in mammals. Interestingly, also several non-vertebral NOS have been described. Aside from a role in the feeding of bloodsucking insects, NO has been shown, for example, to play an important role in Drosophila innate immunity …

Defects and Reactivity at Oxide Surfaces: Experimental Aspects of the Interaction of Hydrogen, Co And Co2 with the Nio{001} Surface

1989

This paper summarizes some previous or more recent experimental results on chemical interaction, at moderate temperatures, of H, H2, CO and CO2 with the surfaces of nickel oxide, mainly the NiO {001} surface. These results are in a general agreement with theoretical predictions. Nearly perfect surfaces of maximal valency oxides cannot react with molecules. Dissociation of molecules is often required for chemisorption. Conversely, chemical reaction is usually observed either when molecules are predissociated or the surface has defects with an energy level high enough to enable both dissociation and chemisorption. On a nearly perfect, “in situ” cleaved, NiO {001} surface, partially atomized h…

Magneto-Transport Results in Alq3 Based OSVs

2015

The achievement of good magnetoresistance signal at room temperature is an important requirement for the possible future development of organic devices for applications. However, until now only few works reported room temperature MR effect in organic spin valves (OSVs). In this regard, this chapter is dedicated to the investigation of Alq3-based OSVs where Alq3 molecule was chosen since it is a standard material in the field. A systematic study on Co/Alq3/Co OSVs will be presented showing room temperature MR results. Moreover, inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) technique will be used to prove spin injection into the organic layer. Finally, an insulating oxide barrier (Al2O3 or…

Electrochemical Syntheses Involving Carbon Dioxide

1990

The recent developments of electrosynthetic processes involving carbon dioxide are reviewed. Both processes involving carbon dioxide alone and electrocarboxylations are taken under consideration. The first of these two fields, mainly projected towards the production of basic chemicals such as methanol or carbon monoxide, is at present at a stage of fundamental research. Some interesting developments have recently appeared in the literature, concerning the use of electrode materials, or of transition metal complexes with particular catalytic activity. Electrocarboxylations are at a stage of more applicative development: some processes have reached the stage of pilot plant, and other have int…

Defects in oxide glasses

2005

An insight into the present understanding of point defects in the simplest and the most radiation-resistant oxide glass, glassy silicon dioxide (silica) is presented. The defects and their generation processes in glassy and α-quartz forms of silicon dioxide are significantly different. The only defect, confirmed to be similar in both materials, is oxygen vacancy. In silica, additional defects of dangling bond type are generated from precursor sites formed by strained Si-O bonds, and by modifier ions. The optical absorption spectra of silica are dominated by paramagnetic dangling bond type defects: silicon dangling bond (“E′-center”) and oxygen dangling bond (“non-bridging oxygen hole center…

Self-lubricating epoxide composites Kompozyty epoksydowe o właściwościach samosmarujących

A com. epoxy resin was modified by addn. of aliph. polyamine, graphite, a poly-α-olefin oil and phosphate fire retardant, cured at 130°C and studied for friction coeff. in contact with steel, heat resistance and mech. strength. The addn. of graphite resulted in a decrease in the resin hardness, impact strength and friction coeff.
