Reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate samples were obtained from a RO-membrane system that uses effluents of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) as feed water for the production of drinking water. A number of different pharmaceuticals (e.g. antibiotics, contrast ...
A novel three-component synthesis of 5-aminooxazoles is reported. Its subsequent reaction with alpha ,beta -unsatd. acyl chloride leads to polysubstituted pyrrolopyridines. A triple domino process, acylation/IMDA/retro-Michael cycloreversion, was involved ...
The homoiminosugars alpha- and beta -homogalactonojirimycins were prepared from a common intermediate, tetra-O-benzyl-D-galacto-heptenitol 6, by way of highly stereoselective reaction sequences involving, as the key steps, an internal amidomercuralion (a-e ...
In recent years evidence has accumulated indicating the presence of functional receptors for most neurotransmitters on astrocytes. In particular, receptors coupled to adenylate cyclase have been demonstrated, in primary astrocyte cultures, for vasoactive i ...
The entorhinal cortex and the amygdala are interconnected structures of the limbic system in which paroxysmal activity occurs during temporal lobe epilepsy. Conflicting evidence shows that noradrenaline (i) inhibits the spreading to other parts of the limb ...
The stimulation by nicotine of intramural nerves and the role of ATP and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) as inhibitory transmitters were studied in the isolated taenia of the guinea-pig caecum. Nicotine (4-32 microM) caused transient, concentration-dep ...
METHODOLOGY: A new non-invasive ultrasonic device was developed to characterize the biomechanical properties of medium and large peripheral arteries. Simultaneous recordings of internal diameter and blood pressure over the whole cardiac cycle are used to e ...
The conditional sampling formulation typically used in eddy accumulation flux measurements was tested at two sites using velocity, temperature, and specific humidity time series measurements. The first site was at Owen's Lake in southern California, and th ...
We describe a 20-year-old woman suffering from right temporal epilepsy, behavioral disorder, and a complaint of paroxysmal palpitations accompanied by anxiety. Detailed cardiac evaluation revealed that the palpitations were due to episodes of marked sinus ...
