We developed a facile strategy for preparation of heteropoly metalate/graphene oxide nanocomposite as a new ion exchanger for cadmium ion removal from aqueous solution. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Our findings indicated that the combination of heteropoly metalate nanoparticles ...

abstract: in this study, al 2 o 3 /eg and tio 2 /eg nanofluids as coolants have been used in the double-tube heat exchanger. the hot solvent inlet heat exchanger must be cooled down with a specified amount. we can use nanofluids as coolants in the heat exchanger for optimization of the heat transfer area. therefore, the efficacy of nanofluids as coolants is verified. furthermore, flow rate of c...

Layered ƒÁ-titanium phosphate (ƒÁ-TiP), Ti(HP04)2.2H20, is well known as the host material of intercalation compounds and the inorganic ion-exchanger of H+/metal ion system. It was found to have high ion-exchange selectivity for Rb+ and Cs+ among alkali metal ions. The ionexchange reactions for these ions progressed in two steps according to pH. Part of water molecules in the mterlayer of ƒÁ-Ti...

phosalone, malathion and diazinon were analyzed in corn oil using solid phase extraction (spe)with lanthanum silicate as a new solid sorbent followed by gas chromatography with nitrogenphosphorus detection (gc-npd). the efficiency of different eluents (methanol, dichloromethane,ethyl acetate, dichloromethane — ethyl acetate (1:1) and ethyl acetate — methanol (1:1)) werecompared for elution of o...

We have previously reported that stretching of cardiomyocytes activates the phosphorylation cascade of protein kinases, including Raf-1 kinase and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, followed by an increase in protein synthesis partly through enhanced secretion of angiotensin II and endothelin-1. Membrane proteins, such as ion channels and exchangers, have been postulated to first receive ...

Directed cell movement is a multi-step process requiring an initial spatial polarization that is established by asymmetric stimulation of Rho GTPases, phosphoinositides (PIs), and actin polymerization. We report that the Na-H exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1), a ubiquitously expressed plasma membrane ion exchanger, is necessary for establishing polarity in migrating fibroblasts. In fibroblasts, NHE1 i...

CO2-driven seawater acidification has been demonstrated to enhance intestinal bicarbonate secretion rates in teleosts, leading to an increased release of CaCO3 under simulated ocean acidification scenarios. In this study, we investigated if increasing CO2 levels stimulate the intestinal acid-base regulatory machinery of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and whether temperatures at the upper limit of ...
