Circulating cadmium-thionein (Cd-MT) is cleared from the mammalian circulatory system by filtration through the kidney glomerulus with subsequent reabsorption by kidney proximal tubules. Damage to the tubules results following uptake of Cd-MT, which is dependent upon time and the dose level of cadmium administered. Intravenous administration of 109Cd-MT at doses of 0.017 and 0.17 mg Cd/kg body ...

Poly(amide amine) dendrimer with naphthyl units (N8) as a fluorescent chemosensor for metal ions was synthesized. We investigated the metal ion recognition of N8. Large changes in the fluorescence spectra of N8 were observed upon the addition of cadmium and zinc ions.

We demonstrate ultrafast coherent excitation of an atomic qubit stored in the hyperfine levels of a single trapped cadmium ion. Such ultrafast excitation is crucial for entangling networks of remotely located trapped ions through the interference of photon frequency qubits, and is also a key component for realizing ultrafast quantum gates between Coulomb-coupled ions.

We report a high-precision measurement of the ground-state hyperfine splitting of Cd ions. This result is vital for an atomic clock based on the cadmium ions to estimate the frequency uncertainty. OCIS codes: (120.3940) Metrology; (300.6520) Spectroscopy, trapped ion.

The toxic metals appear to use the transport pathways that exist for biologically essential metals. In this regard interactions between the toxic and essential metals are possible. This report summarizes recent findings on the transport of cadmium in rat hepatocytes and renal cortical epithelial cells in the presence or absence of certain essential metals. The transport of cadmium in hepatocyte...

in this study, the removal of cd(ii) from aqueous solutions have been carried out using populusnigra saw dust as low-cost, readily available biosorbent. various physico-chemical parameters such as ph, initial metal ion concentration, and adsorbent dosage level and contact time were studied at room temperature to optimize the conditions for maximum adsorption. the central composite design was ca...
