ABSTRACT- The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of “Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi” (AM fungi) density and different growing media on the growth, photosynthesis parameters and yield of sweet pepper under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted as a factorial plan based on control randomized design (CR...

Nanostructured (100-x)% Pd -x % Ni (x = 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20) and (90 – y)%Pd-10%Ni-y%C (y = 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10) composite films are obtained on glassy carbon electrodes and characterized by XRD, TEM, cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometric techniques for use as electrocatalysts towards methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol and glycerol oxidations in 1 M KOH at 25°C. Results show that addition ...

Background: There are different treatment options with variable results for the management of pyogenic granuloma (PG). The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the cosmetic results and recurrence rate of classic surgical excision with a novel proposed method, curettage and punch excision of the vascular stalk (C&P;) ...

Approximately 1% of presolar SiC grains found in primitive meteorites condensed in the ejecta of Type II supernovae. To explain the isotopic signatures of these so-called X grains, material from different SN zones had to contribute to the mix from which the grains formed. We measured the Fe and Ni isotopic ratios of individual X grains with the NanoSIMS. Most grains have enhanced 57 Fe/ 56 Fe r...

The present work demonstrates the C-S cross-coupling reaction between aryl halides and thiols using nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) supported on reduced graphene oxide (Ni/RGO) as a heterogeneous catalyst. It is observed that the uniformly dispersed Ni NPs supported on RGO could exhibit excellent catalytic activity in C-S cross-coupling reactions and the catalytic application is generalized with ...

The title complex, [Ni(C(16)H(18)O(2)PS(2))(2)(C(6)H(7)N)(2)], exhibits a roughly octa-hedral coordination geometry. The Ni(II) atom lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by four S atoms of O,O'-diphenethyl dithio-phosphate mol-ecules and two N atoms of 4-methyl-pyridine mol-ecules. Important geometric data include Ni-N = 2.100 (3) Å, and Ni-S = 2.5101 (10) and 2.4772 (11) Å.
