The current research work reports the methods that have been developed to dope Lithium nanoparticles MIL@53-Al surface frameworks without inducing structures. prepared MOFs and Li/MIL/53-Al were characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, BET, TGA. doped measured for hydrogen sorption capacities at 298 253 K under a pressure of 75 bar. study revealed enhanced significantly due doping lithium ions; however,...

background: cigarette smoking has several known detrimental effect on cardiovascular system.  qt dispersion (qtd) is among the important predictors of cardiac death.   objective:   to assess the acute effect of smoking of a single standard cigarette on qt and qtc (corrected qt) dispersion, hence on the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in healthy smokers and non-smokers.   methods: 111 healthy me...
