Ca-hydroxyapatite (HA) was synthesised from egg shell under different conditions and characterised by using AAS, FT-IR, XRD, SEM and EDS techniques. The results of these analyses combined together indicate that sintered HA sample1 resembles the feature of pure and single apatite phase having hexagonal structure. A Ca/P molar ratio of 1.69 was achieved in this case. On the other hand HA obtained from calcined egg shell is a combination of both amorphous and crystalline phase and revealed a sub-stoichiometric Ca-deficient apatite form with a Ca/P ratio of 1.50.

The degradation of chlorpyriphos by different advanced oxidation processes such as photo-Fenton, TiO2, TiO2/H2O2, O3 and O3/H2O2 was investigated. The photo-Fenton and TiO2 processes were optimized using a solar chamber as light source. The optimum dosages of the photo-Fenton treatment were: [H2O2]=0.01 M; [Fe3 + ]=10 mg l−1; initial pH = 3.5. With these optimum conditions total degradation was observed after 15 minutes of reaction time. The application of sunlight was also efficient as total degradation was achieved after 60 minutes. The optimum dosage using only TiO2 as catalyst was 1,000 mg l−1, obtaining the maximum degradation at 20 minutes of reaction time. On the other hand, the addition of 0.02 M of H2O2 to a lower dosage of TiO2 (10 mg l−1) provides the same degradation. The ozonation treatment achieved complete degradation at 30 minutes of reaction time. On the other hand, it was observed that the degradation was faster by adding H2O2 (H2O2/O3 molar ratio = 0.5). In this case, total degradation was observed after 20 minutes.

We found that 4,5- diphenyl- 3(2- propynyl) thio- 1??-triazole [1? forms a complex with Pd (11) ion of ratio 1:1 which absorbs light in CH2CI2 at 400 nm, and 4,5- diphenyl- 3(2- propenyl) thio- 1,2,4- triazole [II] forms complexes with Pd (II) ion of ratio 1:1 which absorbs light at 390 nm, and of ratio 2:1 which absorbs light at 435 nm. On the other hand, we found that the new derivative 4- phenyl- 5( p- amino phenyl) -3- mercapto- 1,2,4- triazole ?111? forms complexes with Cu (II) ion of the ratio 1:1 which absorbs light at 380 nm, with Ni (II) ion of the ratio 3:1 which absorbs light at 358 nm; and with Co (11) ion of the ratio 3.2:1 which absorbs light at 588 nm. The ratio of the complexes were determined by measuring the electronic spectra of the complexes in CH2G2 and (CH^NCHO at different concentrations ofthe ligands and f?xed ' •' of the metal ion in every case, then applying the molar ratio plots on the data. Our results were confirmed by precipitating most ofthe above complexes in solid state, and then each complex was analyzed elementally.

The adsorption of 1,5-pentanedithiol (1,5-PDT) and 1,6-hexanedithiol (1,6-HDT) in liquid phases on NaA (or 4A-type), CaA (or 5A-type) and NaY zeolites has been studied by using infrared spectroscopy. From the IR spectra it is found that the peak positions of the symmetric as well as the antisymmetric modes of the methylene (CH2) groups are observed at almost the same band values for the title dithiolates adsorbed on the A-type and NaY zeolites. On the other hand, the weak SH stretching vibration, observed for all samples, can be attributed to the sulphure atoms of 1,5-PDT and 1,6-HDT coordinatively adsorbed on cationic sites of the zeolites.

α-synuclein (α-syn) is a major culprit of Parkinson’s disease (PD), although lipoprotein metabolism is very important in the pathogenesis of PD. α-syn was expressed and purified using the pET30a expression vector from an E. coli expression system to elucidate the physiological effects of α-syn on lipoprotein metabolism. The human α-syn protein (140 amino acids) with His-tag (8 amino acids) was expressed and purified to at least 95% purity. Isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis showed that the isoelectric point (pI) of α-syn and apoA-I were pI = 4.5 and pI = 6.4, respectively. The lipid-free α-syn showed almost no phospholipid-binding ability, while apoA-I showed rapid binding ability with a half-time (T1/2) = 8 ± 0.7 min. The α-syn and apoA-I could be incorporated into the reconstituted HDL (rHDL, molar ratio 95:5:1:1, palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC):cholesterol:apoA-I:α-syn with the production of larger particles (92 Å) than apoA-I-rHDL (86 and 78 Å) and α-syn-rHDL (65 Å). An rHDL containing both apoA-I and α-syn showed lower α-helicity around 45% with a red shift of the Trp wavelength maximum fluorescence (WMF) from 339 nm, while apoA-I-HDL showed 76% α-helicity and 337 nm of WMF. The denaturation by urea addition showed that the incorporation of α-syn in rHDL caused a larger increase in the WMF than apoA-I-rHDL, suggesting that the destabilization of the secondary structure of apoA-I by the addition of α-syn. On the other hand, the addition of α-syn induced two-times higher resistance to rHDL glycation at apoA-I:α-syn molar ratios of 1:1 and 1:2. Interestingly, low α-syn in rHDL concentrations, molar ratio of 1:0.5 (apoA-I:α-syn), did not prevent glycation with more multimerization of apoA-I. In the lipid-free and lipid-bound state, α-syn showed more potent antioxidant activity than apoA-I against cupric ion-mediated LDL oxidation. On the other hand, microinjection of α-syn (final 2 μM) resulted in 10% less survival of zebrafish embryos than apoA-I. A subcutaneous injection of α-syn (final 34 μM) resulted in less tail fin regeneration than apoA-I. Interestingly, incorporation of α-syn at a low molar ratio (apoA-I:α-syn, 1:0.5) in rHDL resulted destabilization of the secondary structure and impairment of apoA-I functionality via more oxidation and glycation. However, at a higher molar ratio of α-syn in rHDL (apoA-I:α-syn = 1:1 or 1:2) exhibited potent antioxidant and anti-glycation activity without aggregation. In conclusion, there might be a critical concentration of α-syn and apoA-I in HDL-like complex to prevent the aggregation of apoA-I via structural and functional enhancement.

The presence or absence of lithium tert-pentoxide (t-PeOLi) in Superbases, prepared from butyllithium (BuLi) and potasium tert-pentoxide (t-PeOK), affects the metallation rate of toluene only slightly, the rate factors being between 1.0 and 0.3. Thus, lithium alkoxide is not essential for the high reactivity of Superbases. However, the ring-to-side chain metallation ratio is increased in the presence of t-PeOLi. On the other hand, an excess of t-PeOK (molar ratio t-PeOK/BuLi ≥ 3)considerably increases in the rate and yield of the side chain methallation of toluene and suppresses its ring mrtallation. In this way, alkoxides enable some control on regioselectivity in Superbase reactions.

The activity of a V-MCM-41 catalyst with a V/Si molar ratio of 0.04 was compared with the activity of a pure MCM-41 catalyst and some DRIFTS studies were performed in order to understand the mechanism of selective oxidation of ethanol. V-MCM-41 was found to be much more active than pure MCM-41, favouring the formation of high amounts of ethylene over 300°C. MCM-41, on the other hand, was found to favour the formation of acetaldehyde over ethylene at all studied temperatures. It was shown by reaction findings that over V-MCM-41, ethylene was produced mainly in the presence of gas phase oxygen whereas acetaldehyde was produced using the lattice oxygen even in the absence of gas phase oxygen. DRIFTS studies indicated the formation of acetaldehyde molecules from acetate-like surface species which were formed by the removal of a hydrogen atom from the ?-carbon of chemisorbed ethoxy species by the help of the lattice oxygen. On the other hand, removal of a hydrogen atom from the ?-carbon of the ethoxy species, in the presence of gas phase oxygen, resulted in the formation of vinyl-like surface species which then yielded ethylene molecules.

The vapour phase pyrolysis of the stannylphosphane Me3SnP(CF3)C2F5 (5) at 330 °C leads to 1,2-elimination of Me3SnF yielding a mixture of the two isomeric perfluorophosphaalkenes F3CP=C(F)CF3 (3) and F5C2P=CF2 (4) in a 3:1 molar ratio. 3 is more labile than 4 and proves to be similar to the perfluoro-3-phosphapent-2-ene F5C2P=C(F)CF3 (2) with respect to NMR data and chemical properties. On the other hand 4 resembles the perfluoro-2-phosphapropene F3CP=CF2 (1). These results have been deduced from the following reactivity studies: (i) The rate of dimerization being higher for 3 than for 4. (ii) Reaction of the mixture with diethylamine yielding the aminophosphane derivative F3CP(NEt2)CF(H)CF3 (13) as a product of 3 and the C-aminophosphaalkene F5C2P=C(F)NEt2 (14) as the derivative of 4. (iii) Reaction of the mixture with methanol giving the methoxyphosphane F3CP(OMe)CF(H)CF3 (15) from 3 and the secondary phosphane F5C2P(H)CF2OMe (16) from 4 as precursors. 3 and 4 prove to be effective dienophiles in reactions with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene, respectively, producing the corresponding Diels-Alder adducts 9 to 12. For these preparations 5 can be used as an equivalent of 3 in a one-pot procedure at 70 °C. On the other hand the phosphane HP(CF3)C2F5 (8) is suited as precursor for 3 in preparing HX addition products.

SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ long persistence phosphors are synthesized by microwave plasma method. The effects of molar ratio of Dy3+ and Eu2+ on the phase composition, the spectrum properties and long afterglow property of phosphors are investigated in the paper. The analysis results show that spectrum properties depressed clearly following the increase of Dy3+/ Eu2+. And the afterglow property of phosphors are improved by doping of the Dy3+, but suppressed by excessive doping. On the one hand, this is because that the number of electrons trapped by defect levels increased with the increase of Dy3+. But on the other hand, it’s difficult to occur electric transition if doping excessive Dy3+, so leads to performance depressed. Above-mentioned results, it’s confirm that the optimized Dy3+/Eu2+ molar ratio is 2:1 when SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphors synthesized by microwave plasma method.

Abstract Claisen condensation of 2-acetyl-1,3-indandione (1) with ethyl acetate afforded the 2-acetoacetyl-1,3-indandione (2) which upon treatment with benzylamine and paraformaldehyde in a molar ratio of (1:1:2) and (1:2:4) afforded the piperidinone and the diazabicyclic derivative (4) and (5) respectively. On the other hand, Claisen condensation of 1 with diethyl oxalate yielded two products (6) and (9). The behaviour of 6 towards phenyl hydrazine, and of 9 towards selenium dioxide and double Mannich reaction were also investigated.

The structure of the shell of eggs of Pieris brassicae (L.), together with changes in it and associated membranes during embryonic development, have been investigated in relation to the penetration and toxicity of simple chemicals. The rigid outer shell consists of two proteinaceous layers, covered externally by a relatively hydrofuge cement, by which the egg is attached to the leaf surface. The egg has respiratory pores over its surface, and a single apical micropyle penetrating these layers. The inside of the rigid shell is lined with a layer of unsaturated oil—an unusual feature for an insect egg. When the egg is first laid, the vitelline membrane is directly applied to the inner surface of the solid shell over the region immediately around the micropyle, but within four hours this contact is broken, and the oil layer flows into this region also, and becomes complete. As development proceeds, the vitelline layer is replaced by membranes of embryonic origin, but before eclosion both these epembryonic layers, and also the oil, are resorbed.The egg is remarkably resistant to water-soluble poisons which have no oil-solubility, except during the first four hours of development. This resistance is attributed almost entirely to the oil layer, and the early susceptibility to its absence over the micropylar region. These changes are not reflected in the effect of oil-soluble poisons or fumigants. The solid portions of the shell do not seem to be of great importance in restricting the entry of liquid poisons, even though the cement is comparatively hydrofuge; from experiments with wetting agents and with eggs immersed in poisons under vacuum, it does not appear that the respiratory air spaces in the shell are preferential channels of access; rather, the poisons penetrate through the solid portions of the shell. This penetration, even of oil-soluble materials, is slow, for they can be effectively washed out of the shell again, some considerable time after dipping. On the other hand, non-volatile oily materials can interfere with the respiration of the egg by blocking the air spaces in the shell.The secretion of epembryonic layers does not appear to change the resistance of the egg to water-soluble materials; this is to be expected, for they do not contain lipoid. On the other hand they do add appreciably to the resistance to oil-soluble materials. There is no evidence that poisons are accumulated in these epembryonic membranes, and released during the pre-eclosion period. Experiments with covalent compounds, such as mercuric chloride, suggest that their oil-solubility accounts for their toxicity, whereas electrovalent compounds containing similar heavy metals are only effective while the direct micropylar path of entry is available to them.
