pure anatase titania (tio2), mixed 1.0 wt.% cerium-anatase titania (1.0 wt.%ceo2-tio2), and mixed 1.0 wt.% zirconia-anatase titania (1.0 wt.%zro2-tio2) nano powders were synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), brunauer-emmett-teller (bet) surface area analysis, uv-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (drs), and transmission electron microscope (te...

steam reforming is one of the most important processes for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels such as lpg and has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency and economy. in this study, the lpg steam reforming reaction was investigated on nickel catalysts supported on four various zeolites (h-y, na-y, hzsm5 and ferrierite). the catalytic tests were performed in a tubular fixed be...

We have studied the consequences of invariant chain (Ii) and DM expression on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II function. Ii has a number of discrete functions in the biology of class II, including competitive blocking of peptide binding in the endoplasmic reticulum and enhancing localization in the endocytic compartments. DM is thought to act primarily in endosomes to promote dis...

this work describes the optical and structure properties of nickel sulfide and cobalt sulfide nanoparticles in zsm-5 zeolite. the samples were obtained by sulfidation of the ni2+ and co2+ ion-exchange zsm-5 zeolites in a na2s solution at room temperature. the optical properties of the samples were studied by uv-visible spectroscopy. their crystalline structure and morphology were studied by x-r...

Fernitin-conjugated plant lectins of varying sacchanide specificities were used to characterize oligosacchanides present on the surface of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) produced in cells of mammary tumors of mice of C3H/He/Tex, A/Dm, and RlII/Dm strains. Mouse mammary tumor (MMT) cells grown on discs of FEP Teflon were labeled in situ with fennitin conjugates of concanavalin A specific for a...

this study is devoted to the morphological, chemical and physical characterization of raw material of the fruit of luffa cylindrica. by microscopic analysis, it can be observed that the fruit is composed of an assembly of dependent cords, where four parts are differentiated: external, internal wall, core and bond. each cord consists of hollow and flexible cylindrical fibers.the external part is...

the effects of different sources of carbon, nitrogen and some of trace elements on cultivation of bacillus thuringiensis h14 were studied. glucose, glycerol, sodium acetate, (nh4)2so4, corn steep liquor, yeast extract, hydrolyzed casein, ca2+, mg2+ and mn2+ were the main parameters evaluated by plackett-burman statistical method. all elements have insignificant effect on germination while spore...
