Abstract The physical and chemical properties of several commercial sources of reduced NAD were examined. Properties compared included physical appearance, sodium and phosphorus content, ultraviolet light absorption at 260 and 340 nm, and relative rates of oxidation with two human LDH isoenzymes. Major differences between individual preparations were noted with respect to physical and chemical properties, as well as in the activity measurements. The commercial reduced-NAD preparations most rapidly oxidized by LDH were white, free-flowing substances with 260 nm:340 nm absorbance (A260:A340) ratios below 2.45. Detectable amounts of an LDH inhibitor were found in all preparations examined. A strong LDH inhibitor, which had the same properties as the inhibitor present in commercial reduced NAD, was isolated by column chromatography. This LDH inhibitor was found to produce the same degree of inhibition toward four LDH isoenzymes.

The effect of heat and ultraviolet irradiation on dimethyltin dihydride is reported. At 120°, the major decomposition products are (CH3)3SnH, Sn, and H2, with a small amount of (CH3)6Sn2. At 130° under ultraviolet light, decomposition is much more rapid giving (CH3)3SnH, Sn, and H2, and an appreciable quantity of (CH3) 4Sn. If the dihydride is maintained under these conditions for a longer period (40 hours), (CH3)6Sn2 is formed in place of (CH3)3SnH, and other products are (CH3)4Sn, Sn, and H2. Negligible decomposition occurs at 25° even under irradiation.The ready addition of C2F4 to (CH3)2SnH2 gives the first reported mono-addition product of an organotin dihydride, (CH3)2SnH(C2F4H), as well as (CH3)2Sn(C2F4H)2. Physical and chemical properties of these compounds are described. The additions of (CH3)2SnH2 to CF2CFH, CF2CH2, and CF2CFBr are reported and the results interpreted in terms of the formation of unstable mono-addition products, (CH3)2SnH(C2FnXmHp). Surprisingly, these species decompose through the exchange of halogen and hydrogen between (CH3)2SnH2 and the olefin. Thus, usual products from the reaction of (CH3)2SnH2 with CF2CFBr are (CH3)2SnBr2 and CF2CFH, with some (CH3)3SnBr.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
