The electronic interactions in Pd/Mo( 1 IO), Pd/Ru(0001), and Cu/Mo( 110) have been examined by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The shifts in core-level binding energies indicate that adatoms in a monolayer of Cu or Pd are electronically perturbed with respect to surface atoms of Cu(100) or Pd(100). By comparison of these results with those previously presented in the literatur...

In this study, in the removal of macro (P, S, Na, K, Ca, Mg) and micro (Sb, Ba, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Hg, Mo, Se, Ag, Zn) elements in the effluent of Elazig Wastewater Treatment Plant, the efficiency of Lemna minor L. and Lemna gibba L. has been studied comparatively. For this aim, fronds of these plants have been adapted to the effluent of the treatment plant that feeds pilot scale reactors. The...

Forages that accumulate excessive molybdenum (Mo) from excessive land application of Mo can cause molybdenosis, a copper (Cu) induced deficiency in ruminants. Limited information is available on the effect of land-applied biosolids, Mo content, and quality of winter wheat forage (Triticum aestivum L.). The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the effect of biosolids application on tis...

We conducted an experiment to determine the effects of dietary copper (Cu) source and level on carcass characteristics, longissimus muscle fatty acid composition, and serum and muscle cholesterol concentrations in steers. Sixty Angus and Angus x Hereford steers were stratified by weight and initial liver Cu concentration within a breed and randomly assigned to treatments. Treatments consisted o...

New Cu2O-on-Cu nanowires (NWs) are constructed to develop the visible-light-driven activity of photocatalysts via the facile self-assembly of Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) on a Cu NW surface assisted by a structure director, followed in situ reduction. In the resultant Cu2O-on-Cu NWs, the Cu2O NPs, with a diameter of 10 nm, show good distribution on the 50 nm-sized Cu single-crystal NWs. Owing to th...
