CCDC 145655: Experimental Crystal Structure Determination
2000
Related Article: J.T.Kovalainen, E.Wegelius, J.A.M.Christiaans, J.Huuskonen, J.Gynther|2000|Acta Crystallogr.,Sect.C:Cryst.Struct.Commun.|56|e216|doi:10.1107/S0108270100005291
Densities, Viscosities, and Refractive Indices of the Binary Systems Methyl tert-Butyl Ether + 2-Methylpentane, + 3-Methylpentane, + 2,3-Dimethylpent…
2000
This paper reports experimental densities, viscosities, and refractive indices of the binary systems methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) + 2-methylpentane, + 3-methylpentane, + 2,3-dimethylpentane, and + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane over the entire range of composition, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations were evaluated from the experimental data. These excess or derived properties were fitted to the Redlich−Kister equation to estimate the binary interaction parameters. The experimental values of viscosity have been compared to values predicted by means of the GC−UNIMOD model.
Environmental risk factors of airborne viral transmission: Humidity, Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in the Netherlands
2020
AbstractObjectiveThe relationship between specific humidity and influenza/SARS-CoV-2 in the Netherlands is evaluated over time and at regional level.DesignParametric and non-parametric correlation coefficients are calculated to quantify the relationship between humidity and influenza, using five years of weekly data. Bayesian spatio-temporal models—with a Poisson and a Gaussian likelihood—are estimated to find the relationship between regional humidity and the daily cases of SARS-CoV-2 in the municipalities and provinces of the Netherlands.ResultsAn inverse (negative) relationship is observed between specific humidity and the incidence of influenza between 2015 and 2019. The space-time anal…
205th ENMC International Workshop: Pathology diagnosis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies Part II 28-30 March 2014, Naarden, The Netherlands.
2015
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IM) are a heterogeneous group of diseases and diagnosis often necessitates a muscle biopsy. Five main entities are recognized: (1) dermatomyositis (DM); (2) polymyositis (PM); (3) necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM); (4) sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM); and (5) non-specific myositis. Other entities include granulomatous myopathy, macrophagic myofasciitis, and eosinophilic fasciitis (Shulman's syndrome). The pathological classification and subsequent identification of disease subgroups are extremely important for assessing treatment options and prognosis in the individual patient, yet classification criteria have not been standardized and vali…
Chiral Serum Pharmacokinetics of 4-Fluoroamphetamine after Controlled Oral Administration
2021
Abstract Over the last two decades, misuse of 4-fluoroamphetamine (4-FA) became an emerging issue in many European countries. Stimulating effects last for 4–6 hours and can impact psychomotor performance. The metabolism of amphetamine-type stimulants is stereoselective and quantification of (R)- and (S)-enantiomers has been suggested for assessing time of use. To date, no data on enantioselective pharmacokinetics is available for 4-FA in serum samples. An enantioselective liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS-MS) method was developed using a chiral Phenomenex® Lux 3 μm AMP column. Validation of the method showed satisfactory selectivity, sensitivity, linearity (0.5–250 ng/mL…
Synthesis of New 2-{[(Phenoxy or Phenyl)acetyl]amino}benzoic Acid Derivatives as 3α-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Inhibitors and Potential Antiinflamm…
1995
A number of 2-([(phenoxy or phenyl)acetyl]amino)benzoic acid derivatives were prepared in about 50% yield from (phenoxy or phenyl)acetyl chloride and anthranilic acid derivatives. All the compounds were tested as in vitro inhibitors of 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, since enzyme inhibition predicts potential antiinflammatory activity in vivo. The most active compounds 3 l, m, s are about 3.5 times more active than acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Activity is influenced by electronic as well as steric effects.
Acid‐Cleavable Poly(ethylene glycol) Hydrogels Displaying Protein Release at pH 5
2020
Abstract PEG is the gold standard polymer for pharmaceutical applications, however it lacks degradability. Degradation under physiologically relevant pH as present in endolysosomes, cancerous and inflammatory tissues is crucial for many areas. The authors present anionic ring‐opening copolymerization of ethylene oxide with 3,4‐epoxy‐1‐butene (EPB) and subsequent modification to introduce acid‐degradable vinyl ether groups as well as methacrylate (MA) units, enabling radical cross‐linking. Copolymers with different molar ratios of EPB, molecular weights (M n) up to 10 000 g mol−1 and narrow dispersities (Đ<1.05) were prepared. Both the P(EG‐co‐isoEPB)MA copolymer and the hydrogels showed pH‐…
Public policy in families and successions regulations : the case of ?talaq?
2021
According to EU Regulations on transnational families and successions, a foreign rule remains without effect if it is deemed contrary to the so-called public policy (ordre public) of the forum?s legal system. As a consequence, judges have to evaluate whether the application of foreign law is incompatible with fundamental principles of the domestic law, especially whether it would constitute a violation against human rights. An outstanding controversial issue is today represented by Islamic repudiation (talaq): two contrasting Italian judicial decisions of August 2020 may illustrate how difficult it could be to determine what public policy is.
Financial assets and patrimonial issues in international families
2021
: The paper deals with patrimonial issues in International families and with the European Regulations 1103 and 1104/ 2016 together with regulation 650/2012. The paper particularly focuses on financial assets: Bank Account; Share of Investments Funds; Life Insurance; Virtual assets like criptovalutes; real estate wealth. This perspective implies the need to find the rule governing the succession or the families? patrimonial issues, also taking into account the different rules in the different states concerned of the contracts that govern the circulation of such goods.
Microbial community analysis, influence of reactor hybridation and effect of the proportion of glycol ethers/ethanol mixtures in EGSB reactors
2018
Antecedentes La emisión de compuestos orgánicos volátiles (COVs) puede causar diferentes problemas en la salud pública y en el medio ambiente, actuando como contaminantes primarios y permitiendo la formación de contaminantes secundarios como el ozono troposférico. Debido a estos problemas, la emisión de COVs está limitada en muchos países tales como EEUU o los pertenecientes a la Unión Europea, en este caso regulado por la directiva 2010/75/EU. Debido al uso de disolventes en su proceso productivo, la industria flexográfica es uno de los sectores que más contribuye a la emisión de este tipo de compuestos, y las técnicas biológicas han sido consideradas como una de las mejores disponibles pa…
