Dibutyl phthalate ( DBP ) is a common ingredient found in nail enamels and hardeners.

DBP is a plasticizer that is used because of its flexibility and film forming properties, making it an ideal ingredient in nail polishes.

Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka ( Malay for The Institute of Language and Literature ) ( abbreviated DBP ) is the government body responsible for coordinating the use of the Malay language in Malaysia and Brunei.

With the charter, DBP has the power to form policies regarding the Malay language, responsible to spread the language and is able to go into book publishing business.

The dictionary is not only descriptive, but rather it is also prescriptive, as it represents the results of the efforts of DBP to adapt the Malay language to accommodate the challenges of technology and science.

The P 1. 74-billion geothermal optimization ( expansion ) project, funded the Development Bank of the Philippines ( DBP ) is part of EDC's 192-MW Southern Negros Geothermal Production Field that supplies the power needs of 8 provinces in Negros, Panay, Guimaras and Cebu Islands.

The Development Bank of the Philippines ( Filipino: Bangko sa Pagpapaunlad ng Pilipinas, Castillian Spanish: Banco de Agricola y Hacienda de Filipinas or Banco de Desarollo de Filipinas ), commonly known by its initials, DBP, is a state-owned development bank in Makati, Philippines.

Instead, DBP diversifies banking choices whenever an area's banking sector is either dominated by one or a few banks, regardless of status.

DBP is divided into the following subsidiaries and affiliates:

Experiments have demonstrated that in rodent studies this distance is shortened when the mother is exposed to chemicals that are anti-androgenic, such as dibutyl phthalate ( DBP ) or benzylbutyl phthalate ( BBzP ).

Post-war models bear the initials DBP, standing for Deutsches Bundespatent ( Federal German Patent ), instead of the DRP found on pre-war models.

Furthermore, telephones and other communication devices could only be leased from the DBP and not be sold or bought on the free market.

DBP Malaysia was established as Balai Pustaka in Johor Bahru on 22 June 1956, while DBP Brunei was established in the 1960s.

After the ' DBP ' or DVR overprinted stamps were exhausted, four different new stamps modelled on the Tsarist arms type of 1909-1917 were printed in 1921 in Vladivostok.

Similar to the stamps the overprint consisted of Russian initials ' DBP ' meaning Far Eastern Republic ( Dalne-Vostochnaya Respublica ), and was placed horizontally on the impressed stamp.

Although the Philippines has an economy largely dependent on agriculture, something that Landbank addresses, DBP aims for national development through financing the various businesses and economic sectors that keep the Philippine economy afloat.

With an initial capital of 500 million pesos, DBP set to work on expanding its facilities and operations to accelerate efforts on national economic development.

All non-performing assets and liabilities were subsequently transferred to the government on June 30, 1986 and led to DBP forming a program to strengthen its institutions, such as a thorough revision of the credit process and a training program for the intensive implementation of new lending thrusts.

On the other end of the spectrum, DBP takes on a dual role with Landbank, another government-owned bank.

It either competes against or works with DBP, depending on the situation involved.

** Bis ( n-butyl ) phthalate ( DnBP, DBP ), used for cellulose plastics, food wraps, adhesives, perfumes, and cosmetics-about a third of nail polishes, glosses, enamels, and hardeners contain it, together with some shampoos, sunscreens, skin emollients, and insect repellents

When nail-polished hands are washed, small amounts of DBP can leach out of the polish and come into contact with the skin.

Dispensers can also be found with several non-US patents, such as the German " DBP 818. 829 " ( Deutsches Bundes Patent ), and the Mexican " Patent Nr 141, 242 ".

When Di-n-butyl phthalate ( DBP ), diisobutyl phthalate ( DiBP ), benzyl butyl phthalate ( BBP ), Bis ( 2-ethylhexyl ) phthalate ( DEHP ) and di-n-pentyl phthalate ( DPP ) were combined, reductions in both testosterone synthesis and gene expression of steroidogenic pathway proteins were seen.

Previously, the older ADo type connectors had been used, or telephones had been hardwired to their ( VDo ) wall sockets, and only officially approved telephones ( legally distributable only by the DBP ) were allowed to be connected to the telephone system.

In 1957, DBP moved from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur.

Through Ordinan Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka 1959, DBP was granted a charter with its own Board of Governors.

DBP also producing many talented novel writers.

Most outstanding DBP novel writers are Miss Siti Habsah Abdullah, Mrs. Malardevi Margamuthu, and Mr. Syed Satahkatulah Bin Mohamed Kalik.

DBP publishes the Kamus Dewan, for many years the prestige dictionary of the Malaysian national language.

The drug's chemical name is listed, since most states require feed processors to use this name instead of the trade name on the feed tag.

In some instances, the trade name is shown in parentheses following the chemical name.

Even here there is room for some variation, for metal surfaces vary in smoothness, absorptive capacity, and chemical reactivity.

As is well known, detergent actives belong to the chemical class consisting of moderately high molecular weight and highly polar molecules which exhibit the property of forming micelles in solution.

On chemical grounds it seems most likely that iodide is first converted to Af and then to Af as the active iodinating species.

The chemical nature of the iodocompounds is discussed below ( pp. 76 et seq. ).

It is therefore necessary to consider the properties of pituitary TSH if the fragmentary chemical information about blood TSH is to be discussed rationally.

The importance of knowing in what chemical forms the hormone may exist is accentuated by the recent observation that there exists an abnormally long-acting TSH in blood drawn from many thyrotoxic patients ( Adams, 1958 ).

Whether this abnormal TSH differs chemically from pituitary TSH, or is, alternatively, normal TSH with its period of effectiveness modified by some other blood constituent, cannot be decided without chemical study of the activity in the blood of these patients and a comparison of the substance responsible for the blood activity with pituitary Aj.

The aim is to collect a very broad range of physical, chemical, morphological, and structural data for crystals on an encyclopedic scale and to seek all possible useful and revealing correlations of properties with internal structure.

The process in which the outcome of any one stage is known only statistically is also of interest, although for chemical reactor design it is not as important as the deterministic process.

It is a popular belief that alchemists made contributions to the " chemical " industries of the day — ore testing and refining, metalworking, production of gunpowder, ink, dyes, paints, cosmetics, leather tanning, ceramics, glass manufacture, preparation of extracts, liquors, and so on ( it seems that the preparation of aqua vitae, the " water of life ", was a fairly popular " experiment " among European alchemists ).

Experiments have been conducted to attempt the synthesis of ununennium ( Uue ), which is likely to be the next member of the group, but they have all met with failure .< ref name =" link "> However, ununennium may not be an alkali metal due to relativistic effects, which are predicted to have a large influence on the chemical properties of superheavy elements.

Each element has a specific set of chemical properties as a consequence of the number of electrons present in the neutral atom, which is Z ( the atomic number ).

The number of electrons in each element's electron shells, particularly the outermost valence shell, is the primary factor in determining its chemical bonding behavior.

Hence it is the atomic number alone that determines the chemical properties of an element ; and it is for this reason that an element can be defined as consisting of any mixture of atoms with a given atomic number.

Argon ( ) is a chemical element with symbol Ar and atomic number 18.

The name " argon " is derived from the Greek word αργον meaning " lazy " or " the inactive one ", a reference to the fact that the element undergoes almost no chemical reactions.

Arsenic ( ) is a chemical element with symbol As and atomic number 33.

Antimony ( or ; ) is a toxic chemical element with symbol Sb and atomic number 51.

Actinium ( ) is a radioactive chemical element with symbol Ac and atomic number 89, which was discovered in 1899.
