Exhalation of ethylene oxide by rats on exposure to ethylene.
1983
Abstract When rats are exposed to ethylene in a closed desiccator jar chamber, the rate of metabolic elimination of the compound is influenced by pretreatment with Aroclor 1254 (metabolism increased) and diethyldithiocarbamate (metabolism inhibited). Biotransformation of ethylene leads to ethylene oxide as reactive intermediate. This is exhaled and can be quantitated in the gas phase of the system.
Reactive melt blending of functionalized-MW/CNTs with polyolefin
2012
Adding nanotube adding into a polymeric matrix leads to the formulation of nanocomposites with enhanced macroscopical performances, and, moreover, the use of functionalized MW-CNTs leads to the nanocomposite formulation with even better properties. Furthermore, the reactive melt blending can be considered as a powerful processing method, i.e. reasonably simple and ecologically friendly, in order to formulate polymer based nanocomposite with good performance. In this work, the reactive melt blending between an ethylene-acrylic acid co-polymer, bis-oxazoline and functionalized MW-CNTs was performed and the rheological properties of the formulated systems were investigated.
Development of a combined solver to model transport and chemical reactions in catalytic wall-flow filters
2017
Abstract In this work, we develop a non-isothermal model for diesel particulate filters including exothermic and competing chemical reactions. We begin with an isothermal, single-reaction model and we gradually increase its complexity. By comparing various models, we aim at establishing the minimum degree of complexity required to effectively model the system under investigation. Based on the numerical simulations, we conclude that isothermal models are adequate only if the temperature of the catalyst is, at all times, completely below or completely above a critical temperature. However, if the goal is to predict the critical temperature, only non-isothermal models should be used. The resul…

A Survey on Proxy Mobile IPv6 Handover
2016
[EN] As wireless technologies have been improving in recent years, a mobility management mechanism is required to provide seamless and ubiquitous mobility for end users who are roaming among points of attachment in wireless networks. Thus, Mobile IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to support the mobility service. However, Mobile IPv6 is unable to fulfill the requirements of real-time applications, such as video streaming service and voice over IP service, due to its high handover (HO) latency. To address this problem, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) has been introduced by the IETF. In PMIPv6, which is a network-based approach, the serving network controls mobility m…
In-vitro antioxidant capacity and cytoprotective/cytotoxic effects upon Caco-2 cells of red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) viscera hydrolysates.
2019
Abstract The antioxidant capacity of red tilapia viscera hydrolysates (RTVH) with different degrees of hydrolysis (DH) as well as their ultrafiltration membrane fractions, were analyzed using different chemical assays. Their protective effects against oxidative stress were evaluated using H2O2-stressed human intestinal differentiated Caco-2. The highest antioxidant capacity was obtained with a DH of 42.5% (RTVH-A) and its
The impact of dehydration rate on the production and cellular location of reactive oxygen species in an aquatic moss.
2012
† Background and Aims The aquatic moss Fontinalis antipyretica requires a slow rate of dehydration to survive a desiccation event. The present work examined whether differences in the dehydration rate resulted in corresponding differences in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and therefore in the amount of cell damage. † Methods Intracellular ROS production by the aquatic moss was assessed with confocal laser microscopy and the ROS-specific chemical probe 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate. The production of hydrogen peroxide was also quantified and its cellular location was assessed. † Key Results The rehydration of slowly dried cells was associated with lower ROS produc…
Direct measurement of NO<sub>3</sub> radical reactivity in a boreal forest
2018
Abstract. We present the first direct measurements of NO3 reactivity (or inverse lifetime, s−1) in the Finnish boreal forest. The data were obtained during the IBAIRN campaign (Influence of Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions on the Reactive Nitrogen budget) which took place in Hyytiälä, Finland during the summer/autumn transition in September 2016. The NO3 reactivity was generally very high with a maximum value of 0.94 s−1 and displayed a strong diel variation with a campaign-averaged nighttime mean value of 0.11 s−1 compared to a daytime value of 0.04 s−1. The highest nighttime NO3 reactivity was accompanied by major depletion of canopy level ozone and was associated with strong temperature…
CTR: A calculus of timed refinement
1995
This paper presents CTR — a process algebraic framework for loose specification of time quantity sensitive operational behaviour of reactive systems. CTR terms are provided both with operational and specification semantics (via the notion of specification refinement). Besides the intuitive justification of appropriateness of the refinement notion, a preservation theorem is proved for a timed variant of Hennessy-Milner logic. A comparison of CTR with the related formalism of Timed Modal Specifications, and with the timed process calculi TCCS due to Wang is given. Some pragmatics of the application of CTR is sketched on a critical resource access example.
The Important Role of the Nuclearity, Rigidity, and Solubility of Phosphane Ligands in the Biological Activity of Gold(I) Complexes
2018
A series of 4-ethynylaniline gold(I) complexes containing monophosphane (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (pta; 2), 3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (3), and PR3 , with R=naphthyl (4), phenyl (5), and ethyl (6)) and diphosphane (bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene (dppa; 7), trans-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene (dppet; 8), 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe; 9), and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp; 10)) ligands have been synthesized and their efficiency against tumor cells evaluated. The cytotoxicity of complexes 2-10 was evaluated in human colorectal (HCT116) and ovarian (A2780) carcinoma as well as in normal human fibroblasts. All the complexes showed a hi…
