In the present study, five androstane derivatives from the series of homoandrostanes were analyzed, including: 3?-hydroxy-17-oxa-17a-homoandrost-5-en-16-one, 3?,5?-dihydroxy-17- oxa-17a-homoandrostane-6,16-dione, 17-oxa-5?,6?-epoxy-17a-homoandrostane-3,16-dione, 5?-hydroxy- 17-oxa-17a-homoandrostane-6,16-dione-3?-yl acetate and 3?-hydroxy-17-oxa-5?,6?-epoxy-Dhomoandrostan- 16-one. The compounds were analyzed by applying methanol-water mobile phases with different volume fractions of methanol, as a polar protic solvent, and logk0 parameters of each compound were determined. The outstanding correlations between in silico logP descriptors and logk0 parameters were obtained, as well as between in silico logD descriptors and logk0 parameters. The logk0 parameters are very well correlated with polar surface area (PSA) descriptor as well. The studied compounds and lipophilicity descriptors (including the chromatographic lipophilicity parameters - logk0) were clustered applying hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) in the form of clustered heat map known as double dendrogram. Furthermore, the sum of ranking differences (SRD) method was used for the ranking of the lipophilicity measures of the analyzed homoandrostane derivatives so the most suitable lipophilicity measures of this series of compounds can be selected.","PeriodicalId":7021,"journal":{"name":"Acta Periodica Technologica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68412003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fasting mean blood glucose, lipid profile, different liver and kidney function biomarkers and antioxidant biomarkers levels, after treatment for 30 days, diabetic untreated and diabetic rats treated with alkaloids extract were estimated.

Experimental data recording that acoustic energy leads to an increase of primary and secondary creep has become the impetus for this research. The model is constructed in terms of the synthetic theory of irrecoverable deformation. To catch the phenomena caused by sonication, we introduce a new term reflecting the nucleation and development of the crystalline grid's defects in the ultrasonic field. By inserting this term into the basic relationships of the synthetic theory that define the deformation state of the material, we have derived the formulae describing the development of time-dependent deformation coupled with ultrasound. As a result, since the analytic solutions fit good the experimental data, we have elaborated an analytical instrument to predict the increase in the creep deformation of metals due to acoustic energy.","PeriodicalId":7021,"journal":{"name":"Acta Periodica Technologica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68411905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ANOVA and t-test were performed to reveal differences in attitudes related to socio-demographic characteristics of the consumers. Also, determination of taste preferences according to consumer nationality was examined as an additional consumer care aspect. The evaluation of equality of the samples? average rates, as well as the groups of minions, is done by parametric or nonparametric model of variance analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied in order to group the investigated minions regarding their sensory properties, while the sum of ranking differences (SRD) was used to determine the minions with the best sensory properties. Consumers and experienced tasters have almost the same opinion about the sensory quality of minions, which indicates that assessment of the consumer can be considered as a representative opinion in the near future.

Among others, elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) is mostly a woody plant, while it can rarely be found as a herbaceous perennial plant. This plant species has been used in traditional medicine because it is a very rich source of phytochemicals. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the composition of essential oils obtained from flowers and fruits of this plant, collected from the Balkan Peninsula. The oils were obtained using the Clevenger apparatus, and their composition was evaluated by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The oil composition was affected by the part of the plants used: the most abundant bioactive compounds in the essential oil of air-dried elderberry fruits were ?-damascenone (35.70%) and linalyl anthranilate (24.15%). ?-damascenone was the dominant compound in the essential oil of lyophilized elderberry fruits (38.64%), while linalool was detected in the concentration of 32.80%. In the essential oil of air-dried elderflowers, the most abundant compound was carane (13.19%).
