Precursor cells have been shown to be affected by oxidative stress, in vivo and vitro, but little is known about the expression of antioxidant mechanisms in neuronal/glial differentiation. We have characterized the expression of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD), one of the main antioxidant proteins involved in the breakdown of superoxide, in the immature rat dorsolateral subventricular zo...

Tree bark species were randomly collected from 65 sites having different anthropogenic activities, such as industrial, high traffic commercial, residential high and residential low traffic volume areas of Ibadan City, Nigeria. Levels of Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, and Cr of the dry-ashed bark samples were determined by AAS. The mean metal concentrations (mg kg(-1)) in samples from industrial zone were ...

the northwestern part of the kerman cenozoic magmatic arc (kcma) contains many areas with porphyry copper mineralization. in this research, we used the advanced space-borne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (aster) and enhanced thematic mapper plus (etm+) images of this region to map the distribution of hydrothermally altered rocks, based on their mineral assemblages. the spectral meas...

sar-kuh porphyry copper deposit is located 6 km southwest of the sar-cheshmeh copper mine, kerman province, iran. based on field geology, petrography and fluid inclusions studies, four alteration types have been identified in the sar-kuh area. early hydrothermal alteration formed a potassic zone in the central parts of mamzar granite/grano-diorite stock and propylitic alteration in its peripher...

In This Issue In This Issue Pulling on a cytokine he extracellular matrix (ECM) acts as a storage facility for tons of factors waiting to do business in the cell. Annes et al. (page 723) show that the ECM anchoring of one factor, the cytokine TGF-␤ , is essential for its activation. The anchoring may give cells something to pull against, with the pulling mediating the activation. Most TGF-␤ is ...

We synthesized CuZr/Cu multilayers and performed nanoindentation testing to explore the dependence of plastic deformation modes on the thickness of CuZr layers. The Cu layers were 18 nm thick and the CuZr layers varied in thickness from 4 nm to 100 nm. We observed continuous plastic co-deformation in the 4 nm and 10 nm CuZr - 18 nm Cu multilayers and plastic-induced shear instability in thick C...

The newly discovered Federation deposit, with a resource estimate of 2.6 Mt @ 7.7% Pb, 13.5% Zn, 0.8 g/t Au, and 9 Ag, lies 10 km south the Hera deposit within Cobar Basin Lachlan Orogen. Located just north Erimeran Granite contact between Lower Amphitheatre Group underlying shallow marine Mouramba Roset Sandstone, host siltstones sandstones have been brecciated, intensely silicified, chloritiz...

In the course of geological prospecting fulfilled with participation FGBI TsNIGRI within Chayangro ore cluster Dodykhta-Uryakh region in southeastern Baikal-Patom metallogenic province, Dzhalagun lode gold prospect field same name was studied and its economic significance has been proved. It substantiated that is closely similar to typical deposits Bodaibo sense formation phasing, character hyd...

Exploration is a key fundamental step in the process of any uranium mining activity. Moreover, new deposit has been discovered context mine development. The objective present research studies to apply borehole redox mapping technique as guide for exploration sedimentary environment. Tarat formation study area Arlit divided into four units (U4, U3, U2, and U1) such Unit4 (U4) consists reduced gr...

The productive mineralization of the Sheikhdzheili-Zengiboba area is associated with metamorphogenic transformations rocks Urusai, Karauzyak, Kuyanchik, Sheikhdzheili suites, metamorphosed under conditions green schist facies. mineralized zones site are confined to narrow faults in tectonic northeast and northwest directions. main form manifestation gold-bearing small steeply dipping veins, len...
