3.1 NATEGLINIDE (Javed et. al., 2013) Nateglinide [N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine] is a novel, highly physiologic, glucose regulator recently approved for the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. Nateglinide has a rapid onset and short duration of insulinotropic action that results in reduction of glucose level. Nateglinide block the K-ion channels in pancreatic beta-cells, facilitating insulin secretion. In the present investigation formulation and evaluation of…
Introduction: If you have paid any attention to the news lately, you will hear a phrase that is becoming more and more widely used to describe one of the main dangers of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in Alberta. This phrase is called “induced seismicity.” Numerous tremors have been felt in Alberta within the past six (6) months and a concern is growing that a large earthquake will be triggered in the immediate future. Residents of Alberta are worried that their homes and livelihoods will be…
The Specimen Reception – where I spent most of my day-to-day work – is part of the Lab-Med group that is situated in the Central Pathology lab, and is made up of the biochemistry laboratory, the haematology laboratory – which includes cryobiology and coagulation, the microbiology lab, the histopathology lab – which includes cytopathology, the immunology lab, cancer molecular diagnostics, and transfusion medicine, as well as the Irish mycobacterium reference lab, and the national MRSA reference…
New method of synthesis of oligoetherols with carbazole ring Renata Lubczak Abstract: The new method of synthesis of multifuntional oligoetherols with carbazole ring suitable for obtaining the polyurethane foams of enhanced thermal resistance was presented. At the first step of the synthesis the carbazole was reacted with excess glycidol to obtain the product of (n +1) functionality, where n is number of equivalents of glycidol reacted with carbazole. Carbazole reacts with glycidol without…
dioxide that would be released into the atmosphere and it would decrease the rate of global warming. Other problem that could be solved with this process is the it could provide the world with fuels of high energy density like hydrogen, methane, or methanol which would help with the supply of other compounds like expensive products that would not be formed unless one of this high energized fuel would be needed. His form…
Introduction Chlorella vulgaris is known to date back more than 2.5 billion years. C. vulgaris is a unicellular green algae that is eukaryotic (Wells). Because of its long life on earth it has been essential for C. vulgaris to evolve so it can survive. One feature that C. vulgaris has is its ability to grow rapidly. Because of its rapid growth scientist have been studying it and found that it can be used in many different ways; wastewater treatments, production of protein-rich food and feed…
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1. Method development and optimization The main criterion is to develop successful HPLC method for the determination of FVS and its degradation product. The developed method should be able to determine FVS and its degradation product in a single run. This method should be accurate, reproducible, robust, stability indicating, free of interference from degradation products and straight forward enough for routine use in quality control laboratory. Regulatory agencies…
What the frack is fracking and why it should be replaced with alternative energy Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”, is the extraction of natural gas from deep underground shale using vertical (“conventional fracking”) and horizontal (“unconventional”) drilling. According to C. Mooney (The Truth About Fracking) conventional fracking has been used since the late 1940’s; it involves drilling a vertical well into a layer of shell and pumping chemically treated water and sand at extremely high…
Kinetic investigation and the Arrhenius plot The degradation of SAC in acidic, basic and oxidative mediums at different HCl (0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 M, keeping temperature 90 ºC), NaOH (0.005, 0.01 and 0.05 M, keeping temperature 40 ºC) and H2O2 (5%, 10% and 15%, keeping temperature 90 ºC) strengths was studied. Also SAC degradation was studied as a function of temperature in acidic (30, 60, 70, 90ºC and room temperature, keeping HCl strength 0.1M), basic (40, 65, 90ºC and room temperature, keeping…
internal walls of the box were also covered with aluminum foil in order to increase the flux of absorbed radiation due to reflection. The evolution of the reaction was followed through the production of formaldehyde, which was formed upon reaction of methanol with hydroxyl radicals. An aqueous solution containing the diclofenac, sulfamethoxazole, and 〖TiO〗_2 were charged at the reactor. In the photocatalytic experiments, the black light was turned on to start the run. In the ozonation…
