TL;DR: Results reveal that both AWO and AWO:Ag solutions have bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects, but the irradiated sample is more efficient; i.e., a 4-fold of the MRSA planktonic cells as compared to the nonirradiated sample was observed.
Abstract: This study is a framework proposal for understanding the antimicrobacterial effect of both α-Ag2WO4 microcrystals (AWO) synthesized using a microwave hydrothermal (MH) method and α-Ag2WO4 microcrystals with Ag metallic nanofilaments (AWO:Ag) obtained by irradiation employing an electron beam to combat against planktonic cells of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet visible (UV–vis) measurements, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The results reveal that both AWO and AWO:Ag solutions have bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects, but the irradiated sample is more efficient; i.e., a 4-fold of the MRSA planktonic cells as compared to the nonirradiated sample was observed. In addition, first principles calculations were performed to obtain structural and electronic properties of AWO...

TL;DR: It is observed that the main problem in detecting PD is the patients in the early stages, who can draw near-perfect objects, which are very similar to the ones made by control patients, leading to higher accuracies than spiral images.

TL;DR: In this paper, the conversion of glycerol in gas phase and atmospheric pressure has been investigated over 10 wt.% Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts with nickel nitrate and pre-treated with hydrogen in the range of 623-1073 K. The resultant catalysts were characterized by N2-physisoption, H2-chemisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), TGA-MS, TEM, RAMAN, NH3-TPD, XPS, TPO-MS and XANES
Abstract: The conversion of glycerol in gas phase and atmospheric pressure has been investigated over 10 wt.% Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. The catalysts were prepared with nickel nitrate and pre-treated with hydrogen in the range of 623–1073 K. The resultant catalysts were characterized by N2-physisoption, H2-chemisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), TGA-MS, TEM, RAMAN, NH3-TPD, XPS, TPO-MS and XANES. The stability and the catalytic behavior of the catalysts were affected by the reduction pre-treatment. Glycerol reaction pathways were proposed based on dehydration, dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis steps. The main products identified were: hydroxyacetone, pyruvaldehyde, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, lactide, acetaldehyde and methane. The number of exposed Ni atoms and the degree of reduction of the NiO species affected the hydrogenolysis reaction of glycerol to CH4 affecting the catalytic stability. The catalyst was deactivated by coke formation, by transformation of Ni phase to nickel carbide (Ni3C), as well as by oxidation of the Ni phase during the reaction. In addition, Raman analysis revealed two types of carbonaceous deposits over the used samples: on the Ni species and on the support. The regeneration treatment by oxidation–reduction reactivated the catalyst successfully.

TL;DR: In this article, a new strategy for asymmetric induction termed the Prochiral Auxiliary approach is introduced, where reaction of acylating agents with prochiral N -methyl- o - tert -butyl aniline provide anilides that are axially chiral by virtue of restricted rotation about the NAr bond.
Abstract: A new strategy for asymmetric induction termed the ‘prochiral auxiliary’ approach is introduced. Reactions of acylating agents with prochiral N -methyl- o - tert -butyl aniline provide anilides that are axially chiral by virtue of restricted rotation about the NAr bond. Rotamer populations about the amide bond (E/Z) were studied by 1 H NMR. Several pairs of enantiomeric o - tert -butyl anilides were separated by chiral chromatography and barriers about the NAr bond were measured by thermal racemization. Related o -(1-(trialkylsilyloxy)-1-methylethyl) anilides were also studied.
