The title compounds, strontium perchlorate trihydrate {di-μ-aqua-aquadi-μ-perchlorato-strontium, [Sr(ClO4)2(H2O)3] n }, strontium perchlorate tetra-hydrate {di-μ-aqua-bis-(tri-aqua-diperchloratostrontium), [Sr2(ClO4)4(H2O)8]} and strontium perchlorate nona-hydrate {hepta-aqua-diperchloratostrontium dihydrate, [Sr(ClO4)2(H2O)7]·2H2O}, were crystallized at low temperatures according to the solid-...

[1] We assess the difference in Top of Atmosphere (TOA) cloud-free Net Radiative Effect (NRE) of dust aerosols between the Terra and Aqua satellites using three years of collocated Moderate Resolution Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MODIS) and the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) data over the Atlantic Ocean [0–30 N, 10–60 W]. The dust aerosol optical thickness at 0.55 mm (tdust)...

This paper examines the effect of five major pretreatments on the surface coverage Γ(m) of dodecanethiol self-assembled monolayer on polycrystalline gold electrode (C(12)SH-SAMs-Au). It is based on the electrochemical reductive desorption in the alkaline solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The five different pretreatment methods include: aqua regia pretreatment, reductive annealed pretreatment...

Lack of data on safety of herbal medicines have endangered human health and life. The present study evaluated the genotoxic and mutagenic effect of Kalanchoe laciniata to access the safety and usefulness of the medicinal plant. Aqua-methanolic and n-hexane extracts of K. laciniata were evaluated for the genotoxic potential using Ames assay and cytotoxicity was evaluated using MTT assay. Ames as...

The microand macrophysical properties of clouds play a crucial role in Earth’s radiation budget. The NASA Clouds and Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) is providing simultaneous measurements of the radiation and cloud fields on a global basis to improve the understanding and modeling of the interaction between clouds and radiation at the top of the atmosphere, at the surface, and within the ...

A popular and effective management option for adult mosquitoes is the use of insecticides applied by ultra-low-volume (ULV) equipment. However, there is a paucity of data on human dermal exposure to insecticides applied by this method. The objective of the current study was to estimate dermal exposures to the insecticide active ingredient permethrin using water- (Aqua-Reslin®) and oil-based (Pe...

The production of anthropogenic carbon dioxide has greatly increased in the 20 and 21 centuries. This greenhouse gas, which helps to trap heat in the atmosphere to warm the earth, is beginning to cause concern for the future. Scientists believe that a shift in the greenhouse gases equilibrium could be very dangerous. In an attempt to reduce anthropogenic CO2, the National Energy and Technology ...

AIM Few studies have been conducted investigating the psychological benefits of exercise during pregnancy. Additionally, hormonal and cardiovascular responses to water-based and land-based exercise in pregnant women are different. Therefore, this study investigated the influence of a single bout of exercise on the mood of pregnant women participating in an aqua- or studio-based exercise class c...

The unit cell of the title compound, poly[[μ-aqua-μ-hydroxido-di-μ-oxalato-chromium(III)disodium] monohydrate], {[CrNa(2)(C(2)O(4))(2)(OH)(H(2)O)]·H(2)O}(n), contains four [Na1(μ-H(2)O)Na2][(C(2)O(4))(2)Cr(μ-OH)·H(2)O] formula units, each of which consists of two crystallographically independent Na(+) sites (bridged by one aqua ligand), one half of a centrosymmetric di-μ-hydroxido-bis-[cis-bis-...

In this study, Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) at 550nm from the MODIS sensor on board the Terra/Aqua satellites were compared with sun photometer (CE-318) measurements from 11 AERONET stations in China. The average correlation coefficient (R) value from the AOD product, using the Aqua-MODIS Deep Blue algorithm, in the Hexi Corridor was 0.67. The MODIS Dark Target algorithm AOD product is superior ...
