Nanocrystalline Zr3Al Made through Amorphization by Repeated Cold Rolling and Followed by Crystallization

The intermetallic compound Zr3Al is severely deformed by the method of repeated cold rolling. By X-ray diffraction it is shown that this leads to amorphization. TEM investigations reveal that a homogeneously distributed debris of very small nanocrystals is present in the amorphous matrix that is not resolved by X-ray diffraction. After heating to 773 K, the crystallization of the amorphous structure leads to a fully nanocrystalline structure of small grains (10 - 20 nm in diameter) of the non-equilibrium Zr2Al phase. It is concluded that the debris retained in the amorphous phase acts as nuclei. After heating to 973 K the grains grow to about 100 nm in diameter and the compound Zr3Al starts to form, that is corresponding to the alloy composition

IMMUNOMODULATORY EFFECT OF PARKIA JAVANICA EXTRACT ON INTRACELLULAR EXPRESSION OF IL-6, IL-8, IL-12 AND TNF-α

The crude methanol extract of Parkia javanica (crude MEPJ) was screened for immunomodulatory activity on macrophage cells, RAW 264.7, by cell proliferation, migration and qRT PCR based interleukin expression assays. The maximum proliferation and migration of macrophage cells were observed at the dose of 20μg/ml. The expression of proinflammatory cytokines, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12 and TNF-α were increased after treatment with crude MEPJ. This study clearly suggests the immune stimulant property of Parkia javanica on macrophage cells. Keywords: Parkia javanica, macrophage cells, interleukins, immunomodulatory. Â

Pendekatan Ilmu Hayati melalui Musikal

Nowadays, depletion of food source, disease outbreak, and alternative energy occur as global challenges. With little public awareness, life science actually has answers for the core problem and the solution. Therefore, there should be easy and attractive ways to alter public's view and add their knowledge about life science. Indonesian culture is accustomed with oral tradition so musical could be an alternative method for reaching out public awareness. Songs about life science has been previously made and for PKM KC, booklet and video were made for making the songs easier to be understood and were put on web so people can access our works. Our works were made with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After Effect, Adobe Dreamweaver, and iMovie software. Publication was held through school and radio roadshow and public's response was observed. To date, we haven't found any works with life science content that has comprehensive variety except our works. Students and public enjoy our works with accepted message about life science. Musical approach of life science is potential for raising public awareness of the importance of life scienc

On the existence of internal modes of sine-Gordon kinks

We study whether or not sine-Gordon kinks exhibit internal modes or ``quasimodes.'' By considering the response of the kinks to ac forces and initial distortions, we show that neither intrinsic internal modes nor ``quasimodes'' exist in contrast to previous reports. However, we do identify a different kind of internal mode bifurcating from the bottom edge of the phonon band which arises from the discretization of the system in the numerical simulations, thus confirming recent predictions.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, REVTeX, to appear as a Rapid Communication in Phys Rev E (July 1st

Fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis in renal transplant recipient with CMV infection: A case report

Abstract. Fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis (FCH) is an uncommon complication of renal transplantation. It is usually associated with hepatitis B and C viral infection. It is further rare in renal transplantation in absence of HBV and HCV infection. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of FCH in renal transplantation, which were both HBV and HCV negative, have been reported to date. Out of these, two cases were diagnosed to have CMV infection and the third was attributed to azathioprin. We are presenting another case of FCH in a renal transplant recipient with CMV infection

Preparation of anti-vicinal amino alcohols: asymmetric synthesis of D-erythro-Sphinganine, (+)-spisulosine and D-ribo-phytosphingosine

Two variations of the Overman rearrangement have been developed for the highly selective synthesis of anti-vicinal amino alcohol natural products. A MOM-ether directed palladium(II)-catalyzed rearrangement of an allylic trichloroacetimidate was used as the key step for the preparation of the protein kinase C inhibitor D-erythro-sphinganine and the antitumor agent (+)-spisulosine, while the Overman rearrangement of chiral allylic trichloroacetimidates generated by asymmetric reduction of an alpha,beta-unsaturated methyl ketone allowed rapid access to both D-ribo-phytosphingosine and L-arabino-phytosphingosine

Oxidation of benzoin catalyzed by oxovanadium (IV) schiff base complexes

BACKGROUND: The oxidative transformation of benzoin to benzil has been accomplished by the use of a wide variety of reagents or catalysts and different reaction procedures. The conventional oxidizing agents yielded mainly benzaldehyde or/and benzoic acid and only a trace amount of benzil. The limits of practical utilization of these reagents involves the use of stoichiometric amounts of corrosive acids or toxic metallic reagents, which in turn produce undesirable waste materials and required high reaction temperatures. In recent years, vanadium complexes have attracted much attention for their potential utility as catalysts for various types of reactions. RESULTS: Active and selective catalytic systems of new unsymmetrical oxovanadium(IV) Schiff base complexes for the oxidation of benzoin is reported. The Schiff base ligands are derived between 2-aminoethanol and 2-hydroxy-1- naphthaldehyde (H2L1) or 3-ethoxy salicylaldehyde (H2L3); and 2-aminophenol and 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde (H2L2) or 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (H2L4). The unsymmetrical Schiff bases behave as tridentate dibasic ONO donor ligands. Reaction of these Schiff base ligands with oxovanadyl sulphate afforded the mononuclear oxovanadium(IV) complexes (VIVOLx.H2O), which are characterized by various physico-chemical techniques. The catalytic oxidation activities of these complexes for benzoin were evaluated using H2O2 as an oxidant. The best reaction conditions are obtained by considering the effect of solvent, reaction time and temperature. Under the optimized reaction conditions, VOL4 catalyst showed high conversion (>99%) with excellent selectivity to benzil (~100%) in a shorter reaction time compared to the other catalysts considered. CONCLUSION: Four tridentate ONO type Schiff base ligands were synthesized. Complexation of these ligands with vanadyl(IV) sulphate leads to the formation of new oxovanadium(IV) complexes of type VIVOL.H2O. Elemental analyses and spectral data of the free ligands and their oxovanadium(IV) complexes were found to be in good agreement with their structures, indicating high purity of all the compounds. Oxovanadium complexes were screened for the oxidation of benzoin to benzil using H2O2 as oxidant. The effect of time, solvent and temperature were optimized to obtain maximum yield. The catalytic activity results demonstrate that these catalytic systems are both highly active and selective for the oxidation of benzoin under mild reaction conditions.Web of Scienc

Applying refinement to the use of mice and rats in rheumatoid arthritis research

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a painful, chronic disorder and there is currently an unmet need for effective therapies that will benefit a wide range of patients. The research and development process for therapies and treatments currently involves in vivo studies, which have the potential to cause discomfort, pain or distress. This Working Group report focuses on identifying causes of suffering within commonly used mouse and rat ‘models’ of RA, describing practical refinements to help reduce suffering and improve welfare without compromising the scientific objectives. The report also discusses other, relevant topics including identifying and minimising sources of variation within in vivo RA studies, the potential to provide pain relief including analgesia, welfare assessment, humane endpoints, reporting standards and the potential to replace animals in RA research
