The PHOBOS collaboration has measured transverse momentum distributions of charged hadrons produced in Cu+Cu collisions at √ s NN = 200 and 62.4 GeV. The nuclear modification factor R N part AA is calculated relative to p+p data at both collision energies as a function of collision centrality. For the same number of participating nucleons, R N part AA is essentially the same in both systems ove...

Here we present our experimental results in synthesizing Au-Cu nano-particles with tunable localized surface plasmon resonance frequency through wet-chemical at temperature room. The reaction is performed in the presence of ascorbic acid as a reducing agent and polyvinyl pyrrolidone as capping agent via four different procedures: (1) mixture of 90% HAuCl4 and 10% CuSO4.5H2O precursors, (2) mixt...

In the title compound, {[Cu(C(9)H(15)N(13))(2)](ClO(4))(2)}(n), the Cu(2+) cation lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by the tetra-zole N(4) atoms of six symmetry-equivalent tris-[2-(1H-tetra-zol-1-yl)eth-yl]amine ligands (t(3)z) in the form of a Jahn-Teller-distorted octa-hedron with Cu-N bond distances of 2.0210 (8), 2.0259 (8) and 2.4098 (8) Å. The tertiary amine N atom is stereoc...

A. Addendum to Lemma 1: There are two cases depending on whether one of the firms dominates the market. The case where no firm dominates the market is described in Lemma 1. The following table states the equilibrium prices and profits when one of the firms dominates the market. We describe the equilibrium only when Firm 1 dominates the market for (T, T),(CU, CU) and (CM, CM) as the results are ...

Phase transitions in CuAlMn alloys containing up to 12 at% Mn and 27 at% A1 continuously heated up to 5500C were studied using differential scanning calorimetry and transmission electron microscopy. Alloys containing less than 4.8 at% Mn exhibit an exothermal heat effect in the range 280 380°C due to y2 precipitation. The additional endothermal peak above 5000C is caused by DO3 disordering. All...

The objective of this study was to determine the protective effect of glutamate (Glu) in Cu-induced oxidative injury in fish intestine in vivo and enterocytes in vitro. The results indicated that exposure to 6 mg/l Cu for 72 h induced the production of reactive oxygen species, thereby increasing protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation in enterocytes of grass carp in vitro. Cells exposed to Cu ...

Vapochromic complexes [Au(im(CH(2)py)(2))(2)(Cu(MeCN)(2))(2)](3+) 1, [Au(im(CH(2)py)(2))(2)(Cu(MeOH))(2)](3+) 2 and [Au(im(CH(2)py)(2))(2)(Cu(H(2)O))(2)](3+) 3 were theoretically investigated. The Au–Cu distances of 1 and 2 (4.631 Å and 2.767 Å, respectively) optimized by the SCS-MP2 method in this work agree with the literature experimental values (4.591 Å and 2.792 Å). Their structural featur...

A novel, rapid and highly sensitive fluorescence turn-on assay for the detection of biothiols (glutathione, and L-cysteine), histidine and threonine was developed. Water-soluble CuInS2 ternary quantum dots (QDs) capped by mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) were directly synthesized in aqueous solution, and then functionalized using tyrosine molecules to form tyrosine-functionalized CuInS2 QDs (T-CuIn...
