Effective antimicrobial compounds are necessary due to increased resistance of antibiotics against microorganisms causing infectious diseases. In this study, imidazolium-TFSI salt [ITFSI: octyl-bis(3-methylimidazolium)-di(bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide)] was labeled with 131I with high efficiency. In vitro uptake experiments of 131I-ITFSI showed high uptake in gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. 131I-ITFSI was also evaluated for comparison between bacterial infection and sterile inflammation by in vivo studies. The biodistribution results revealed that 131I-ITFSI might be used as a nuclear imaging agent for detection of bacterial infection. 相似文献
The efficiency of banks has a critical role in development of sound financial systems of countries. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has witnessed an increase in popularity for modeling the performance efficiency of banks. Such efficiency depends on the appropriate selection of input and output variables. In literature, no agreement exists on the selection of relevant variables. The disagreement has been an on-going debate among academic experts, and no diagnostic tools exist to identify variable misspecifications. A cognitive analytics management framework is proposed using three processes to address misspecifications. The cognitive process conducts an extensive review to identify the most common set of variables. The analytics process integrates a random forest method; a simulation method with a DEA measurement feedback; and Shannon Entropy to select the best DEA model and its relevant variables. Finally, a management process discusses the managerial insights to manage performance and impacts. A sample of data is collected on 303 top-world banks for the periods 2013 to 2015 from 49 countries. The experimental simulation results identified the best DEA model along with its associated variables, and addressed the misclassification of the total deposits. The paper concludes with the limitations and future research directions.
A novel copper(II)-selective electrode based on graphite oxide/imprinted polymer composite was developed for the electrochemical monitoring of copper(II) (Cu2+) ions. The electrode exhibited highly selective potentiometric response to Cu2+ with respect to common alkaline, alkaline earth and heavy metal cations. The composite composition studies indicated that the most suitable composite composition performing the most promising potentiometric properties was 20.0% ionophore (Cu2+-ion imprinted polymer), 10.0% paraffin oil, 5.0% multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and 65.0% graphite oxide. The fabricated electrode exhibited a linear response to Cu2+ over the concentration range of 1.0?×?10??6–1.0?×?10??1?M (correlation coefficient of 0.9998) with a sensitivity of 26.1?±?0.9?mV decade??1. The detection limit of the fabricated electrode was determined to be 4.0?×?10??7?M. The electrode worked well in the pH range of 4.0–8.0. The electrode had stable, reversible and fast potentiometric response (3?s). In addition, the electrode had a lifetime of more than 1 year. The analytical applications of the proposed electrode were performed using as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration of Cu2+ with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid solution and for the determination of Cu2+ of spiked river, dam, and tap water samples. The obtained results for potentiometric titration and water samples were satisfactory. 相似文献
Methyl 6-(N-benzenesulfonylamino)-N,O-isopropylidene-2,3,6,8-tetradeoxy--d-erythrooct-2-enopyranos-4-uloside, C18H23N1O6S1, (3) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space groupP212121. The unit cell parameters are:a=7.839(2),b=10.111(2),c=24.217(5) Å. The dihydropyranone ring adopts a deformed sofa conformation with the O5 atom deviating 0.586(2) Å from the least-squares plane and the -face of the carbonyl group shielded by the terminal (C8) methyl group. 1,1-O,O-Ethylidene-3,4-dideoxy-d,l-hex-3-enoz-2-ulopyranos-5-ulose, C8H10O5, (6) crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP21/n. The unit cell parameters are:a=6.310(1),b=18.656(3),c=7.604(1) Å, =106.01(1)°. The dihydropyranone ring adopts a deformed sofa conformation with O6 atom deviating 0.482(1) Å from the leastsquares plane and the hydroxy and dioxolanyl substituents are in pseudoaxial and pseudoequatorial positions, respectively. The average planes of six-membered and five-membered rings are approximately coplanar. 相似文献
3-Ethoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-4-pyrazoloylhydroximoyl chloride (1) reacted with o-phenylenediamine, o-aminothiophenol, o-aminophenol and methyl anthranilate to afford 3-nitrosoquinoxaline, benzothiadiazine, benzoxadiazine, and 3-hydroxyquinazoline, respectively. Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine and isoxazole derivatives were obtained via the reaction of 1 with 2-aminopyridine, 2-aminopyrimidine and the appropriate active methylene compounds, respectively. Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazines, and pyrrolidino[3,4-d]isoxazolines derivatives were also synthesized. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of spectral data and alternate synthesis whenever possible. 相似文献
The title compound, [RuCl2(C25H29N5)(C18H15P)], a transfer hydrogenation catalyst, is supported by an N,N′,N′′‐tridentate pyridine‐bridged ligand and triphenylphosphine. The RuII centre is six‐coordinated in a distorted octahedral arrangement, with the two Cl atoms located in the axial positions, and the pyridine (py) N atom, the two imino N atoms and the triphenylphosphine P atom located in the equatorial plane. The two equatorial Ru—Nimino distances (mean 2.093 Å) are substantially longer than the equatorial Ru—Npy bond [1.954 (4) Å]. It is observed that the Nimino—M—Npy bond angle for the five‐membered chelate rings of 2,6‐bis(imino)pyridine‐based complexes is inversely related to the magnitude of the M—Npy bond. The title structure is stabilized by intra‐ and intermolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as by intramolecular π–π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings belonging to the triphenylphosphine ligand and the dimethylaminophenyl fragment. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds form an R22(12) ring and a zigzag chain of fused centrosymmetric rings running parallel to the [100] direction. 相似文献
Both osteryoung square wave voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry have been utilized to elucidate and confirm the possible complexation reaction that occur between the various cephalosporin antibiotics and either the toxic, non-essential metal ion, viz. Cd (II), or the essential but toxic (when their concentration exceeds certain level in serum) metal ions, viz. Cu (II) and Zn (II). Voltammetric measurements indicated the existence of 1:1 metal-to-ligand ratio (as in cephalexin and cephapirin complexes), 1:2 ratio (such as in cefamandole, cefuroxime and cefotaxime complexes) and 2:1 ratio in case of ceftazidime complexes. Adsorption behavior was evidenced for Cu (II)-cefuroxime or ceftazidime complexes as well as for those for Zn (II)-cephalexin or cephapirin. This phenomenon could be used for the determination of either the antibiotic or the metal ion using adsorptive stripping voltammetry. Detection limits down to 7x10(-10) M have been easily achieved. 相似文献

Sample processing is a very important component of uncertainty in analytical results. In order to have reliable results, the laboratory sample should be properly processed to obtain statistically homogenous matrix—before the representative test portions are withdrawn for analysis. The use of 14C-labeled compound is preferable because the analyte can be quantified without cleanup. The method is based on surface treatment of cucumber with 14C-chlorpyrifos, determination of 14C-chlorpyrifos activity in the replicate test portions of different size, and determination of the uncertainty of sample processing. 相似文献
