The four models have been validated by both internal and cross validation, and also by randomness tests. The results obtained are in full agreement with the experimental results and confirm the precision, accuracy and robustness of the method followed. After carrying out a virtual screening upon such models, new imidazole and guanidine derivatives with potential anticancer activity are proposed.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

Elevated metal content in soil facilitate higher metal accumulation in growing vegetables through root uptake and also by leaf absorption. Results show noticeably higher metal translocation >1 from soil to roots TFr and shoots TFs, followed by higher metal accumulation in leafy shoots except R. sativa. In sampled vegetables, estimated hazard quotient HQ for individual metal does not exceed the safe limit, but integrated hazard quotient IHQ in L. esculanta is above the safe limit 1.33 and incredibly close in R. sativa 0.97 and S. oleracia 0.93 to cause health hazard.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Consideration of the flow characteristics allowed construction of the analogy of behavior of the liquid in a nanotube with a flow of a viscoplastic Bingham fluid. A model of mass transfer of liquid in a nanotube, based on the possibility of forming an empty interlayer between the moving fluid particles and the particles of the wall of the nanotube, is presented.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The external validation set shows globally classifications above 85.99% and 0.72 for C. All individual models were validated and fulfilled by OECD principles. A brief analysis of AD for the training set of 478 compounds and the new active compounds included in the re-training was carried out.

Reaction matrices being symmetric, matrix implementation of Ugi’s scheme using upper/lower tri-angular matrix is of O(n2) in terms of space complexity. Time complexity of similar matrix implementation is O(n4), both in worst case as well as in average case. The proposed algorithm uses two fixed size look-up tables in a novel way and requires constant space complexity.

Some local anaesthetics, currently in use, are classified using five characteristic chemical properties of different portions of their molecules. Many classification algorithms are based on information entropy. When applying the procedures to sets of moderate size, an excessive number of results appear compatible with data and the number suffers a combinatorial explosion. However, after the equipartition conjecture one has a selection criterion between different variants resulting from classification between hierarchical trees. Information entropy and principal component analyses agree. A table of periodic properties of anaesthetics is obtained. The first three features denote the group while the last two indicate the period in the table. The anaesthetics in the same group and period are suggested to present maximum similarity in properties. Furthermore the ones with only the same group will present important resemblance.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Chemoinformatics Chem.

Results from the DDA showed that the PAHs distributions give the best discrimination capacity within the data set, whereas the PAH distribution in intermediate particle fractions incorporates noise in the statistical analysis. The PCA was useful in identifying the main emission sources in each study area. It showed that in the city of La Plata the most important pollution sources are traffic emissions and the industrial activity associated with oil and petrochemical plants. In Leipzig, the main sources are those associated with traffic and also a power plant. The combined PCA and DDA methods applied to PAH distributions is a valuable tool in characterizing types of emissions burdens and also in obtaining a differentiation of sample identity according to study areas and sampling times.","PeriodicalId":132974,"journal":{"name":"Int.
