The new ligand 7-methyl-7,13-di-octyl-1,4,10-trioxa-13-aza-7-azonia-cyclopentadecane (L(1)) has been designed, synthesised and used as ionophore in the development ion-selective electrodes for anionic surfactants. Different PVC-membrane anionic-surfactants-selective electrodes were prepared by using L(1) as ionophore and bis(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate (BEHS), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE) as plasticizers. The PVC-membrane electrode containing L(1) and NPOE (electrode E1) showed a Nernstian response to lauryl sulfate with a slope of -59.5mV per decade in a range of concentrations from 1.3x10(-6) to 6.8x10(-3)M and a detection limit of 6.0x10(-7)M. The electrode E1 also showed a reasonable response to other alkyl sulfates and alkylbenzene sulfonates, whereas it does not respond to carboxylates and to cationic and non-ionic surfactants. A similar electrode to E1 but additionally containing the cationic additive n-octylammonium bromide was also prepared (electrode E2) and compared with the response of E1. Selectivity coefficients for different anions with respect to lauryl sulfate were determined by means of the fixed interference method considering lauryl sulfate as the principal anion and using a concentration of 1.0x10(-2)moldm(-3) for the corresponding interfering anion. The selectivity sequence found for the electrode E1 was: LS(-)>SCN(-)>ClO(4)(-)>CH(3)COO(-)>I(-)>HCO(3)(-)>Br(-)>NO(3)(-)>NO(2)(-)>Cl(-)>IO(3)(-)>phosphate>SO(3)(2-)>C(2)O(4)(2-)>SO(4)(2-). Electrode E1 showed remarkably better selectivity coefficients than electrode E2.

Accelerating the genetic selection to obtain animals more resilient to climate changes, and with a lower environmental impact, would greatly benefit by a substantial shortening of the generation interval. One way to achieve this goal is to generate male gametes directly from embryos. However, spermatogenesis is a complex biological process that, at present, can be partially reproduced only in the mouse.

The objective of this study was to investigate the water-holding capacity (WHC) and quality changes of beef during heating at specific temperatures (including 40 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C, and 100 °C), as well as the degradation of proteins and the distribution of water within the muscle at different heating temperatures. The experiment utilized the sirloin section from eight crossbred cattle of and breeds, with four sampling sessions, two cattle per session. Each cattle were divided into 30 beef sirloin samples, each weighing 150 ± 10 g, and each session was completed within 3 days with the following tests.

The study of green analytical chemistry has garnered significant attention in the context of mitigating global environmental contamination. In this study, we present two methodologies for environmentally friendly chromatography that enable simultaneous and specific determination of Saxagliptin (SAX), metformin (MET), and a pharmacopoeial impurity of MET known as melamine (MEL). The initial method employed in this study is High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), which utilized 60 F 254 silica gel-coated Mark HPTLC plates on aluminum sheets as the stationary phase.

Nanocrystalline formulations typically contain stabilizing additives to minimize the risk of particle growth or agglomeration. This risk is particularly relevant when the nanosuspension is converted into a solid drug product as the original state of the nanosuspension should be restored upon redispersion of the drug product in vivo. In this work, the behavior of different nonionic and anionic surfactants in solid nanocrystalline formulations and their effects on redispersibility under biorelevant conditions were investigated.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic compounds resulting from incomplete burning of organic materials. This work describes the successful layer-by-layer fabrication of a novel zinc oxide nanocomposite made of zinc oxide nanoparticles, aniline, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes on a stainless steel wire by electrodeposition. The coating and extraction conditions were screened, optimized, and validated using factorial design and central composite design, respectively.
