the corrosion inhibition characteristics of two synthesized schiff bases, namely n, n´-bis(2-hydroxy-6-nitrobenzaldehyde) benzidine  and n, n´-bis(salysylaldehyde) benzidine, on the mild steel corrosion in 2.0 m hydrochloric acid have been investigated by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. these studies were carried out at different ...

the ion-pair association constant values, related to the reaction +  were determined by means of the nmr spectroscopy. the values of the thermodynamic functions of the ion pairing process were calculated on the basis of the nmr results. in addition, the association entropy was found to be dependent on the temperature. comparing the experimental data and the fuoss theory it is found that  ion-pa...

distribution and mobility of nine mineral elements (k, ca, na, mg, fe, zn, cu, se, and cr) in cultured gentiana rigescens and its root zone soil were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. g. rigescens materials were planted under tea and white papaya trees in yun county and yongde of lincang area in yunnan province of china. the results showed that g. rigescens and its soil were high in...

silicon nanowire (sinw) arrays were produced by electroless method on polycrystalline si substrate, in hf/ agno3 solution. although the monocrystalline silicon wafer is commonly utilized as a perfect substrate, polycrystalline silicon as a low cost substrate was used in this work for photovoltaic applications. in order to study the influence of etching time (which affects the sinws length) on d...

thin films of polymer doped with nonlinear optical organic dye, disperse red 1, at thickness of 1 to 2 micrometers, were prepared and studied. in order to induce an axial and orientational alignment of dye molecules within polymer matrix, a contact electric field poling was used. by this process the inherent inversion symmetry in the polymer matrix was eliminated to achieve the desired macrosco...

acriflavine (3,6-diaminoacridine) is an anticeptic drug developed in 1912. previous research has focused on investigation of the intercalating features of acriflavine, but little is known about its interaction with proteins. drug-receptor interaction is of major interest in clinical science. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of acriflavine to induce alterations in conform...

a highly sensitive electrochemicalimmunosensor was developed to detect hcg based on immobilization ofhcg-antibody (anti-hcg) onto robust nanocomposite containing gr, chit,1-methyl-3-octyl imidazolium tetra fluoro borate ionic liquid (il)(gr-il-chit). aunps were used to immobilize hcg antibody on the modifiedelectrode. the amine groups of the antibody are covalently attached toaunps/gr-il-chit n...

metronidazole is used to treat trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and other diseases. there are controversy aspects about its teratogenicity. a teratogenic agent can alter morphology or subsequent function of the fetus. the aim of this study was to examine an alternative method for the recognition of the mechanism or the bimolecular potential changes in mice fetus caused by metronidazole usin...

background although magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) has been shown as an effective diagnostic tool in distinguishing inflammation from neoplasm in cystic brain lesions, the optimum approach in selecting the portions of lesions in mrs and the possible effects of different times of echoes (tes) remains unknown. objectives to determine the most effective te in diagnosing neoplastic lesions b...

cobalt is one of the most important constituent present in ceramic industries. glazers are the relevant workers when they are producing blue colored ceramic, causing occupational exposure to such metal. through this study, urinary cobalt was determined in glazers in a ceramic industry when they were producing blue-colored ceramic glazes.in this case-control study, spot urine samples were collec...
