Weekly activities

In addition, the results of biological tests of the compounds synthesized showed that only one possessed the high antiviral activity against adenovirus type 23 and several of them had moderate-to-week activities towards Gram-positive bacteria and pathogenic fungi, whereas the rest of compounds were inactive.

Equipment systems are available that will, periodically during the day or week, activate two pumps to add a prescribed volume of each of these two chemicals into a mixing tank. The tank contents are stirred, HOBr is produced, and the tank contents are then pumped to the cooling water system. Such systems can also incorporate bromine monitors and chart recorders, plus other dosing and control items. 

While concepts in scientific measurements and properties of matter were being addressed in their general chemistry course, students participated in a 2-week activity in the WDKA Space Science course where they designed and built a model of the International Space Station (ISS) adapted from an activity developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).14 They researched the history, design, and facilities of the ISS as well as the nature of science missions on the ISS. They were then provided with a variety of... 

The network of radioactivity measurement stations in Germany is complex, see Fig. 9.17 (after Steinkopff et al., 1995). We shall discuss one location. In the report by Wershofen and Arnold (1995) the activity concentrations of the fission products Cs and Cs and some natural radionuclides ( Be, Na, °K, and °Pb) contained in Braunschweig s ground-level air were determined by y-ray spectrometry. Mean weekly activity concentrations were measured, mean monthly and mean annual activity...

Triazolam was compared with zolpidem and placebo in a double-blind randomized study in elderly insomniacs. The patients received zolpidem (5 mg 70 patients), zolpidem (10 mg 74 patients), or triazolam (0.25 mg 77 patients). The 3-week active treatment period was preceded by 3 days and followed by 7 days of placebo administration. Both patients and clinicians evaluated sleep quality. The improvements between the end of placebo phase and the end of the active treatment phase were significant for all treatments. Overall evaluation indicated that zolpidem and triazolam are both effective in geriatric insomniac patients (98). 

Zopiclone (7.5 mg) was compared to temazepam (30 mg) and placebo in a double-blind 3-week study in insomniac patients. The patients were assessed before and at the end of each of the 3 weeks active treatment phase and 1 week and 3 weeks posttreatment. The results indicated that zopiclone and temazepam possess a clinically significant hypnotic activity with no rebound insomnia or anxiety occurring during the week of drug withdrawal... 

This experiment is designed to introduce chemical and physical properties and how these properties can be used for identification purposes. Since Part A is done as a group, it also promotes teamwork. This could be a 2-week activity if the instructor chooses — Part A the first week and Part B the next. 

Students who use this lab manual will critically examine the labels on consumer products and commercial chemical products for safety information. They will attempt to solve problems for chemical companies and research proposed new industrial processes and laboratory methods. They will analyze materials and consumer products to provide third-party answers to industrial problems. They will participate in proficiency testing and identify a waste acid that is designated for disposal. Students also will learn how to think critically in order to apply chemistry principles to solve these various problems and to report to a client. Students even play the role of industrial chemists that become involved in National Chemistry Week activities.

The starting point is usually the weekly activity schedule. If a noticeable pattern is emerging, for example if inactivity appears to be happening particularly at weekends, then the activity schedule needs to focus particularly on these high-risk times. 

Column Chromatography. Florisil (Baker Chemicals, Phillipsburg, NJ) was activated by heating at 650° C for 24-h. The activated florisil was then deactivated with water (7% water was found to give optimum results). The deactivated resin was stored at room temperature in sealed containers, and used within 2 weeks. Activated florisil was stored at 130° C. 

In rats administered 1 g/kg odorless garlic extract daily for two weeks, activation of the coagulation system in animals with induced thrombosis was suppressed in the garlic group, as evaluated by prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time (Fukao et al. 2007). 

We estimated the membrane-bound, immobilized, alkaline phosphatase activity in the vomeronasal epithelium from animals that were exposed to androstenone for one week. Activity was estimated on the day following exposures, or one, three or six months after such exposures. The vomeronasal epithelium showed higher alkaline phosphatase activity relative to the olfactory epithelium under control conditions. Exposures to androstenone only slightly increased alkaline phosphatase activity of the vomeronasal epithelium. We did not find a significant difference between measurements performed just after androstenone-ex-posures and those performed 6 months after exposures (see Figure 6).

Carbonated soft drinks owe their fizz to the presence of carbonic acid. We think nothing of drinking this acid. Even so, one of the authors of this book was confronted with the statement our lawyers won t let us have acids in a shopping maU due to liability problems when he proposed to do some chemical demonstrations involving carbonic acid as part of an observance of National Chemistry Week activities. There s that association with danger again.

So take time and consider everything in the environment as part of the weekly review. The weekly activation and checks should be done using a checklist that assures that all required elements are covered. 

In total, 27 patients affected with VLS were enrolled into a 12-week active phase (AP) of treatment with topical mometasone fluorite 0.1% ointment once daily. Those who achieved disease remission entered a 52-week maintenance phase (MP) in which patients were randomised to apply mometasone fluorite 0.1% ointment twice weekly, a cold cream once daily or topical vitamin E once a day. The primary efficacy parameters were the relapse rate and the mean time to relapse.

Finlandia Week activities were jointly coordinated by both Finnish community centers Finland House (Suomi Talo) and the American Finnish Community Club, AFCC, (Kerho Talo). The original reason for the two separate organizations-that one was communist-oriented and the other was not - appears to have abated over time.
