Abstract—Pharmaceuticals are substances designed to have a biological effect in humans. Their presence in the environment, especially in surface waters, is of increasing concern because of their potential risk to non-target species. A large number of pharm ...

The present invention relates to nanoparticles having a mean diameter of < 500nm and comprising, at their surface, a selected material. The nanoparticles are taken up by cells under physiological conditions and can be used to isolate interaction partners o ...
Gold(III) compds. constitute an emerging class of biol. active substances, of special interest as potential anticancer agents. During the past decade a no. of structurally diverse gold(III) complexes were reported to be acceptably stable under physiol.-lik ...
The impacts of the 30 active substances, most used in Costa Rica (reference year 1998), are evaluated using two models originally developed to support comparative assertions in the context of the life cycle assessment: the multimedia fate, exposure and eff ...
We have studied the retention indices of 127 volatile substances on a C-78-paraffin and on its seven nearly isochor and isomorphous polar derivatives over a temperature range of 90-210 A degrees C. The retention index of a substance on the C-78 paraffin ha ...
Porous coating production, e.g. for medical implant, involves depositing first mono-layer(s) of temporary particles on surface, depositing coating(s) on particles, eliminating temporary particles forming pores, and coating fixation step NOVELTY - Producing ...
Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are defined as experiences in which a person seems to be awake and sees his body and the world from a location outside his physical body. More precisely, they can be defined by the presence of the following three phenomenolog ...
Dopamine-induced changes in striatal gene expression are thought to play an important role in drug addiction and compulsive behaviour. In this study we report that dopamine induces the expression of the transcription factor CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein b ...
The major pathways of human pharmaceuticals into the environment are from their use by individuals either at home or under medical supervision in hospitals, and to a lesser extent by the disposal of unwanted or out of date drugs. The administered pharmaceu ...
The present invention relates to a method for testing a substance interacting with a target molecule in a cell by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) by adding a test substance to the cell and determining a distribution of diffusion coefficients fo ...
