2d quantitative structure activity relationship modeling of methylphenidate analogues using algorithm and partial least square regression
Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis attempts to develop a predictive model of biological activity based on molecular descriptors. 2D QSAR uses descriptors, such as topological indices, that are independent of molecular conformation. A genetic algorithm - partial least …

Characterising the role of climate change in perpetuating Zimbabwean farmers' health risks from exposure to endocrine disrupting pesticides
… A growing public health concern is the potential relationship between climate change and adaptive increases in agricultural pesticide use. Effectively, with increases in pesticide use, there may be increased potential for elevated pesticide exposures and, thus, increased endocrine disrupting …

An investigation of phase transfer catalysis employing quantitative structure-activity relationships
The application of quantitative structure activity relationships to phase transfer catalysis (PTC) has been explored. The primary focus was on hydroxide-initiated PTC reactions, such as enolate alkylations. The tandem [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition of nitroalkenes was applied as the key transformation …

Quantitative structure-activity relationships of comparative toxicity to aquatic organisms.
Quantitative Structure-Activity relationship (QSAR) attempt statistically to relate the physico-chemical properties of a molecule to its biological activity. A QSAR analysis was performed on the toxicities of up to 75 organic chemicals to two aquatic species, Photobacterium phospherum (known as the …
