The interaction of mercury vacancies with dopant indium atoms in Hg0,7&d0.t,Te was studied using the perturbed ‘y”/ angular correlation (PAC) technique+ Two dominant PAC signals, characterized by quadrupole interaction strengths YQ~ = 83 MHz and yoL = 91 MHz and asymmetry parameters v1 = r/2 = 0.08, were observed and attributed to one or more In-Vu, complexes. The complexes appeared after annea...

BACKGROUND Toenail-Hg levels are being used as a marker of methylmercury (MeHg) exposure in efforts to associate exposure with effects such as cardiovascular disease. There is a need to correlate this marker with more established biomarkers that presently underlie existing dose-response relationships in order to compare these relationships across studies. METHODS As part of the Arsenic Mercur...

human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (hg-csf) induces proliferation and differentiation of granulocyte progenitor cells. this glycoprotein is currently being used for treatment of neutropenia, in patients who have undergone bone marrow transplantation. so far, different researchers have tried to enhance hg-csf biological activity and stability. in this study, polymerase chain reaction (p...

the present study was conducted to find the effect of three heavy metals, ag, hg and pb on the expression level of a gene encoding plasma membrane h+-atpase in aeluropus littoralis. the experiment was laid out in a completely random design with three replications. the expression of the main gene was normalized to the expression of the housekeeping gene actin. two 259 and 187 bp fragments were a...

altogether 20 groundwater samples were collected around the lakan pb and zn mine in iran. samples were analyzed for 8 constituents including fe, pb, hg, mn, zn, cn, so4 and cl using standard method. the results show that the average concentrations of constituents were 0.01, 0.60, 0.10, 0.01, 0.40, 35, 0.01 and 5.95 mg/kg for fe, mn, pb, zn, hg, so4, cn and cl, respectively. the computed contami...

Background: The nature of asymmetric fission preactinides is not yet understood in detail, despite intense experimental and theoretical studies carried out at present.Purpose: study symmetric $^{180,182,183}\mathrm{Hg}$ $^{178}\mathrm{Pt}$ nuclei as a function their excitation energy isospin.Methods: Mass-energy distributions fragments $^{180}\mathrm{Hg}, ^{178}\mathrm{Pt}$ (two protons less th...
