  3. 2. Investigation of Adsorption and Retention of Charged Compounds In RPLC

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Emma Fryxelius; [2022]
    Keywords : adsorption; adsorption isotherm; charged compounds; promethazine hydrochloride; propranolol hydrochloride; mixed-mode; retention; RPLC;

    Abstract : The adsorption isotherm of two weak bases, Promethazine hydrochloride and Propranolol hydrochloride, were determined with isocratic reversed-phase liquid chromatography, with a 60 w% methanol in 20 mM sodium acetate buffer pH 4 as the mobile phase, and calculated by the elution by characteristic points method. The data obtained from the method were then fitted into the Langmuir isotherm and the electrostatically modified Langmuir. READ MORE

  6. 5. Control and Development of the Autonomic Nervous System in Posthatch Broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) and Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus)

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Åsa Näsström; [2015]
    Keywords : Adrenegic tone; Autonomic nervous system; Broiler; Cholinergic tone; Heart rate; Red Junglefowl RJF ;

    Abstract : Heart rate is tonically regulated by the two branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS); parasympathetic activation decreases heart rate while sympathetic activation increases it. Previous studies on the ANS in chickens have focused mainly on embryonic development, but it is largely unknown what happens in the weeks following hatching. READ MORE
