Transfer of technology is a complex process with many facets, options and constraints. While the concept is an important step in bringing industrialization process to agricultural based countries, it is clear, however, that a country will only benefit from a new technology if it addresses a real need, and if it can be absorbed and adapted to suit the existing cultural and technological base.
International Atomic Energy Agency, as UN body, has a mandate to promote nuclear applicationsand assist Member States in transfer of technology for peaceful applications. This mandate has been pursued by many different mechanisms developed in the past years: technical assistance, coordinated research programmes, scientific and technical meetings, publications, etc. In all these activities the Agency is the organizer and initiator, but main contributions come from expert services from developed countries and, increasingly, from developing countries themselves. The technical cooperation among developing coutries more and more becomes part of different programmes.
In particular, regional cooperation has been demonstrated as an effective instrument for transfer of technology from developed and among developing countries.
Some examples of actual programmes are given. 相似文献
A number of disintegrants
are available on the market. They improve tablets’ disintegration. The
objective of this work is the comparison of the technological quality parameters
of disintegrants using different analytical techniques. Three batches of disintegrants
and their binary mixtures (water:disintegrants) were investigated. Cooling
experiments were used from –30 up to 200°C. The data obtained showed
calorimetric differences between the samples. In the binary mixtures water
showed different crystallization behaviour from the one found in the literature.
According to the results DSC technique helped the quality control of different
disintegrants. 相似文献
Summary The thermodynamic properties of the cardiac and skeletal a-actin isoforms were studied to characterize the molecular bases
of the functional differences between them with the method of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal properties
of the actin filaments were described in the presence of calcium and magnesium ions as well. Based on the calculated free
energy changes the α-cardiac actin filaments appeared to be more stable in its physiologically more relevant, magnesium saturated
form. The magnesium saturated form of the α-cardiac actin filaments seemed to be more stable compared to the calcium saturated
form of it. The enthalpy and entropy changes could differentiate between the α-cardiac and α-skeletal actin isoforms and between
the calcium and magnesium saturated cardiac actin isoforms as well. Our results can demonstrate that the few differences between
the amino acid sequences of the α-actin isoforms have an influence on the thermal properties and maybe on the function of
these proteins as well. 相似文献
The insect spruce budworm(Choristoneura fumiferana) produces antifreeze protein(AFP) to assist in the protection of the over-wintering larval stage and contains multiple isoforms. Structures for two isoforms,known as CfAFP-501 and CfAFP-337,show that both possess similar left-handed β-helical structure,although thermal hysteresis activity of the longer isoform CfAFP-501 is three times that of CfAFP-337. The markedly enhanced activity of CfAFP-501 is not proportional to,and cannot be simply accounted for,by the increased ice-binding site resulting from the two extra coils in CfAFP-501. In or-der to investigate the molecular basis for the activity difference and gain better understanding of AFPs in general,we have employed several different computational methods to systematically study the structural properties and ice interactions of the AFPs and their deletion models. In the context of intact AFPs,a majority of the coils in CfAFP-501 has better ice interaction and causes stronger ice lattice disruption than CfAFP-337,strongly suggesting a cooperative or synergistic effect among β-helical coils. The synergistic effect would play a critical role and make significant contributions to the anti-freeze activity β-helical antifreeze proteins. This is the first time that synergistic effect and its implica-tion for antifreeze activity are reported for β-helical antifreeze proteins. 相似文献
A first-derivative spectrophotometric (1D) method and a derivative-ratio zero-crossing spectrophotometric (1DD) method were used to determine pyritinol dihydrochloride (I) in the presence of its precursor (II) and its degradation product (III) with 0.1N hydrochloric acid as a solvent. Linear relationships were obtained in the ranges of 6-22 microg/mL for the (1D) method and 6-20 microg/mL for the (1DD) method. By applying the proposed methods, it was possible to determine pyritinol dihydrochloride in its pure powdered form with an accuracy of 100.36 +/- 1.497% (n = 9) for the (1D) method and an accuracy of 99.92 +/- 1.172% (n = 8) for the (1DD) method. Laboratory-prepared mixtures containing different ratios of (I), (II), and (III) were analyzed, and the proposed methods were valid for concentrations of < or = 10% (II) and < or = 50% (III). The proposed methods were validated and found to be suitable as stability-indicating assay methods for pyritinol in pharmaceutical formulations. 相似文献
In this paper, the case of FAPAS PT 0270 “Doramectin and Oxfendazole in Sheep Liver” is discussed. During evaluation of the
data received from participants (determination of total, oxidised oxfendazole residue and calculation of the sum of oxfendazole
and oxfendazole sulfone residues), significant differences were observed between the results obtained by use of two analytical
approaches. This phenomenon can be explained by the route of oxfendazole metabolism, which results in the presence of fenbendazole
in the sample. This was not predicted by the provider; consequently, not all the necessary tests on the material were conducted.
Due to the high uncertainty of the z-scores in this test, the results of the PT cannot be used for purposes of evaluation, and the benefits of participation in
PT 0270 are questionable. 相似文献
The use of reduced overlap population (ROP) analysis from EHMO calculations as a means to gauge the presence of metal–metal
bonds in triosmium clusters is examined. A number of triosmium clusters containing bridging ligands have been used as test
cases, including the bis-ethoxy bridged cluster Os3(μ-OEt)2(CO)10, 1b, and some of its group 15 derivatives Os3(μ-OEt)2(CO)9(EPh3), 2. These latter clusters are newly synthesized and have been characterized completely, including by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic
studies.

The evidence for the stabilizing nature of the H–H bonding in planar biphenyl is succinctly reviewed. The stabilizing nature
of the H–H bonding is revealed through a comparison of the atomic energy of every atom in planar biphenyl with the same atom
in the twisted equilibrium structure. It is shown that the barrier to rotation via the planar transition state is the net
resultant of a stabilisation of the four ortho-hydrogen atoms (by 8 kcal/mol each), a stabilisation of the two para-carbon atoms (by 3 kcal/mol each) and by the dominant destabilisation of the two carbon atoms joining the two rings—the two
junction carbon atoms—(by 22 kcal/mol each). The energetic stabilisation of the four ortho-hydrogen atoms is further shown to be in large proportion due to the formation of the hydrogen–hydrogen interatomic surface.
Furthermore, neither the “bond order” between the two junction carbon atoms nor the total electron delocalisation between
the two rings exhibit a significant change in going from the planar to the twisted equilibrium geometry. These findings are
in contrast with the classical view of a balance between “steric non-bonded repulsion” and better electron delocalisation
as a function of the twist dihedral angle. Similar conclusions have been recently reached by Pacios and Gómez through a study
of the electrostatic potential at the position of the hydrogen nuclei.

The magnesium and calcium salts of acrylic acid have been polymerised in aqueous solution using ammonium persulphate as initiator. Both polymers were also prepared by the neutralisation of poly(acrylic acid) with metal oxide in the same medium.
The thermal degradation behaviour of magnesium and calcium polyacrylate was studied using thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermal volatilisation analysis (TVA). Degradation products were investigated by IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and GC-MS techniques, the volatile product fraction having first been separated by subambient TVA.
The decompositions of these materials show some similarities to the behaviour of the alkali metal salts of poly(acrylic acid) and to that of the alkaline earth metal salts of poly(methacrylic acid), but there are also important differences. Acetone and carbon dioxide are the most important volatile products and, in addition, there are various other carbonyl containing products. More carbon dioxide, resulting from side group scission, is evolved from magnesium polyacrylate than from calcium polyacrylate, because of the lower thermal stability of magnesium carbonate. 相似文献
A multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT)/cetyl pyridine bromine (CPB) composite film modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was
developed for the electrochemical determination of hymecromone in phosphonate buffer. Electrochemical behaviour of hymecromone
at the composite film electrode was investigated with voltammetry. Compared with an irreversible oxidation of hymecromone
at the bare GCE, the oxidation peak current was enhanced greatly at the film electrode. Some parameters such as pH, scan rate,
accumulation potential and accumulation time were optimized. Under optimal conditions, an oxidation peak at 0.82 V was employed
to determine hymecromone electrochemically. A linearity between the oxidation peak current and the hymecromone concentration
was obtained in the range of 3.0 × 10−7 − 2.0 × 10−5 mol 1−1 with a detection limit of 8.0 × 10−8 mol 1−1. The proposed procedure was successfully applied to assay hymecromone in pharmaceutical formulation with satisfactory results.
