Journal of occupational and environmental hygiene, 3(3), 137-143 (2006-02-09)
Compartmental and physiologically based toxicokinetic modeling coupled with Monte Carlo simulation were used to quantify the impact of biological variability (physiological, biochemical, and anatomic parameters) on the values of a series of bio-indicators of metal and organic industrial chemical exposures.

Journal of chromatography. B, Biomedical applications, 656(2), 407-414 (1994-06-17)
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of a new anthracycline, DA-125 (I), and its metabolites (M1, M2, M3, and M4) in rat plasma and urine using fluorescein as an internal standard. Compound I, a prodrug

A method for speciation, preconcentration and separation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) in different matrices was developed using solvent extraction and flame atomic absorption spectrometry. 4-Acetyl-5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (AMPC) was used as a new complexing reagent for Fe(III). The Fe(III)-AMPC complex was

Reduced downstream costs, together with high purity recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), will accelerate the commercialization of high quality PHA-based products. In this work, a process was designed for effective recovery of the copolymer poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) (P(HB-co-HHx)) containing high levels of HHx
