The direct chelation-extraction method, originally developed by Hessel (1968) for blood lead analysis, has been successfully applied to urinalysis for manganese. The analyses of 35 urine samples containing up to 100 microgram/1 of manganese from manganese-exposed workers showed that the data obtained by this method agree well with those by wet digestion-flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry...

A method for the determination of diethyllead in urine by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry after chelation with glyoxal-bis (2-hydroxyanil) and extraction of the formed complex with methyl isobutyl ketone is described. The method is specific in relation to both triethyllead and inorganic lead. The limit of detection was 3.2 micrograms Pb/l and the relative standard deviation in the conc...

 Flash Boiling atomization is one of the most effective means of generating a fine and narrow-dispersed spray. Unless its complexity its potential has not been fully realized. In This Paper, a three dimensional chamber has been modeled with a straight fuel injector. Effect of Flash Boiling has been investigated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. A finite volume approach with the ...

Using gel filtration chromatography, we evaluated aluminum bound to albumin, transferrin, and other plasma proteins in the serum of patients on maintenance hemodialysis. The proportion of dialyzable aluminum, as determined by selective membrane ultrafiltration and flameless atomic absorption spectrometry, increased by more than fourfold on treatment with the metal chelator, deferoxamine. This u...

The levels of lead in plasma were determined in 16 cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and 18 control subjects, using flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean values were 0.52+/-0.22 microgram/100ml (ALS) and 0.37+/-0.13 microgram/100ml (controls), the difference is statistically significant (5% level). The values in both groups are lower than reported earlier for normal...

Using the acetylene, ethylene and ethane series, the applicability of the Modified Extended Hiickel Method in the determination of the atomization energies as well as stable configurations of molecules has been demonstrated. It is believed, moreover, that within the procedual framework of our proposed technique the proportionality constants Fa (HH) =2.00, Fa (CH) =1.75, F0(CC) = 2.10 and FW(CC)...
