AbstractA chain reaction of oxygen (reactant) and hydrogen (active intermediary) with mtrosyl chloride (sensitizer) as a catalyst may be modelled mathematically as a non-isothermal reaction. In this paper we present an asymptotic analysis of a spatially homogeneous model of a non-isothermal branched-chain reaction. Of particular interest is the so-called explosion time and we provide an upper bound for it as a function of the activation energy which can vary over all positive values. We also establish a bound on the temperature when the activation energy is finite.

SummaryEnovid (5 mg norethynodrel and 0.075 mg ethynylestradiol-3-methyl ether) therapy in young normal human subjects causes an increase in plasma fibrinogen of 32.4% (P >C 0.001). Consideration of this effect together with other effects of Enovid on the activity of specific blood coagulatory factors suggests that the steroids are exerting their effect at a specific site of the blood coagulation and/or fibrinolytic system. The broad spectrum of changes which are induced by the steroids may be attributed to a combination of a chain reaction and feed-back control.

COVID-19, occurring due to SARS-COV-2 infection, is the most recent pandemic disease that has led to three million deaths at the time of writing. A great deal of effort has been directed towards altering the virus trajectory and/or managing the interactions of the virus with its subsequent targets in the human body; these interactions can lead to a chain reaction-like state manifested by a cytokine storm and progress to multiple organ failure. During cytokine storms the ratio of pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory mediators is generally increased, which contributes to the instigation of hyper-inflammation and confers advantages to the virus. Because cytokine expression patterns fluctuate from one person to another and even within the same person from one time to another, we suggest a road map of COVID-19 management using an individual approach instead of focusing on the blockbuster process (one treatment for most people, if not all). Here, we highlight the biology of the virus, study the interaction between the virus and humans, and present potential pharmacological and non-pharmacological modulators that might contribute to the global war against SARS-COV-2. We suggest an algorithmic roadmap to manage COVID-19.

In this research, the PLA-diol were synthesized from lactic acid (LA) and 1.4 butanediols (BD) with a tin octoate Sn(Oct)2 catalyst at a temperature of 180 °C and the pressure 5 mmHg. The structure and properties of PLA-diol are analyzed by the following methods: GPC, 1H-NMR and DSC. As a result, with the change in the content of Sn (Oct)2 from 0.1 to 1.0%, the molecular weight Mn of PLA - diol increased gradually from 4.119,2 to 7.359,6 g / mol . In addition, the BD content increased from 2.0% to 5.0%, the average molecular weight of the product decreased gradually from 7.536,9 g / mol to 4.735 g / mol, respectively. This change will affect the ability to use PLA-diol in the next denaturation research to apply in the field of biodegradable polymer such as copolymer with polyurethane, copolymer with polyethylene glycol diacid, or chain extension with other polymer in a chain reaction,...

Food Wastage

In 1624, the English poet John Donne poignantly wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; everyman is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; … And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee (Donne, 1624).” Humans are intricately connected. Our actions impact each other in a chain reaction that can span geography and time, as evident from pandemics and global warming as well as the disparate distribution of food, education, wealth, and other resources. Donne’s words serve to remind us that we cannot be immune to the suffering of others caused by this disparity of resources.

The level of primary and secondary lipid per oxidation products were investigated: diene conjugates and malondialdehyde in conditions of nitrate loading. It was established that at bulls feeding with sodium nitrite at a dose of 0.2 hNO3ˉ/kg of body weight, the level of diene conjugates and malondialdehyde in their was increased during the entire the experiment. On the 30thday of the experiment the level of diene conjugates in blood of bull, which were conducted with nitrate load was 7.44 ± 0.15 mmol/l, and the level of malondialdehyde – 0.305 ± 0.014 mmol/l.Under conditions of nitrate load , young cattle was used a new integrated drug «Metisevit», which consists of sodium selenite, vitamin E and metifen. It was found the stimulating effect of metifen and metisevit on antioxidant system of the body of young cattle. Depressing effect of metifen and metisevit on the processes and lipid per oxidation in the blood of bulls under conditions of chronic nitrate–nitrite toxicity. Metifen and metisevit interact with radicals of fatty acids and delay the development of a chain reaction of oxidative stress, reduce the oxidation of phospholipids and form a biologically inactive compound with products of per oxidation of fats. Obtained results of the research indicate antioxidant drugs «Metisevit» and «Metifen» in the application of their young cattle.The mentioned changes are occurring through the comprehensive action of the drug components «Medisvit», that leads to the normalization of metabolic processes and free radical in the body of bulls. Obtained results of the research indicate the antioxidant action of the drugs «Metisevit» and «Metifen» in the application of their young cattle and the reasonableness of their administration to improve the antioxidant status of the organism according to nitrate loading.

Last year, two major earthquakes—one 12 days after the first—shook Mexico. New analysis blames this very unlikely event on chance. But one of the pair may have triggered a third large nearby temblor.
