Compounds tested, individual

Vfe noticed that stepwise purification of the crude extracts resulted in gradually diminishing activity. When several of the identified phenolic compounds were individually tested, none of them exhibited biological activity. Wfe concluded that the biological activity was associated with either the threshold levels of chemicals in the crude extracts or synergistic effect of sane chemicals. Similar observations were made by others, and it needs to be verified by further experimentation (17, 48). 

The different PFCLs used as interoperative tools can be categorised as a group of compounds with more or less uniform behaviour. On the contrary, the partially fluorinated species have to be regarded as individuals each. This is due to the hybrid character of these compounds, which combine the behaviours of alkanes and perfluoroalkanes. Especially, the toxicological behaviour cannot be optimised by simple modifications of the degree of fluorination. If the two molecule parts are combined in the right balance, the cytotoxic behaviour of the alkyl chain can be overcompensated by the inert perfluorinated part of the compound. But each compound should be tested individually to ensure its suitability as a candidate for ophthalmic use. 

Preparation of Model Compound Test Solutions. Individual stock solutions containing 500 mg/L were prepared by dissolving quinaldic acid, glycine, and glucose in OFW 5-chlorouracil in 2 N NH4OH phenanthrene, 1-chlorododecane, 2,4 -dichlorobiphenyl, and 2,2, 5,5 -tetrachlorobiphenyl in hexane and the remaining compounds in methanol. Humic acid stock solution was prepared in 0.02 N NaOH. The composition of the test solutions is reported in Table I. Test solutions (500 mL) were prepared by adding salts and the required volumes of stock solutions in OFW. Phenanthrene, 1-chlorododecane,... 

All studies use aquifer sediments and/or groundwater unless otherwise indicated, (ind) - tested individually, rather than as a group of BTEX compounds. 

Southwell et al. reported that the coefficient of variation for carrying out an in vitro transdermal diffusion study with human skin within an experiment was 43% and the variability in flux for the same compound tested with different human skin sources was 66% ( ). We report the within-experiment variability to be 24.6% and the between-experiments variability to be 30.6%. The differences in variability between our work and Southwell et al. might be attributable to the skin age and source differences. Southwell et al. used abdominal cadaver skin obtained from individuals 71 + 14 years old. We report the exclusive use of surgically removed breast skin from individuals 37 + 13 years old. 

Sensory Evaluation of the contribution of identified compounds to the aroma In order to identify those compounds mainly contributing to the characteristic flavor of the Black Truffle, the odor of the individual components of the headspace analysis were tested by a panel of eight judges (trained in sensory evaluation of truffles). The compounds tested were diluted in vegetable oil, in a range of concentrations from 30 to 300 ppm. 5 point scales (5 = exceptionally good full truffle aroma, 1 = not different from solvent) were used for flavor imitation and intensity. 

The synthesis and screening of mixtures of compounds offers increased efficiency and throughput compared to making and testing individual compounds. However, utilization of mixtures of compounds requires a method to determine which molecule in the mixture is responsible for the desired effect. Typically, mixtures of compounds are prepared by design and these mixtures are tested without separation. When there is evidence of sufficient activity,... 

This also implies that the main mechanism for crystal breakage is individual crystal breakage in the cavitation field rather than particle-particle interaction, which is more common for most wet-milling operations. The breakage constant of about 0.03 gm/hr per (gm/liter, watt) was found to hold for a number of small molecule organic compounds tested in the fluidized bed crystallizer system.
