objective(s):  there is a rising use of gold nanoparticles (aunps) in goods and in the medical fields but there is concern about the toxicity of them. so in this study spherical aunps with 3 different concentrations were applied for investigating their effects in vivo.   materials and methods:  40 male albino mice were randomly divided into sham, control, 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm groups and were...

objective(s):   this study aimed to address the gold nanoparticle(gnp)-dose and exposure duration effect on the kidney function of rats: in vivo.   materials and methods: a total of 32 healthy male wistar rats were used in this study. animals were randomly divided into groups, three gnp-treated groups and control group. group 1, 2 and 3 received. /5 cc of solution containing 5, 10,100 ppm au vi...

the gold mineralization in kurdistan province of iran was classified as shear zone gold type by some of the researchers. in the current study, the geochemical samples collected from the secondary environment, stream sediments, at the sw of saqquez area were used to investigate the geochemical characteristics of the gold mineralized zones in this environment. the multi-variant statistical analys...

The synthesis and biomedical application of noble metal nanoparticles specially gold nanoparticles (GNPs) is a promising field of research and has garnered the attention of vast groups of researchers. Bulk metallic gold (Au) is known to be chemically inert. However, when the size of gold is reduced to nanometer ranges it starts to show diverse biological properties [1]. GNPs find application in...

hired is a large gold prospecting area which is located in south khorasan province, in the east of iran. gold mineralization is found in 4 target areas covering about 24 km2. the host rocks are mainly tertiary volcanics, some jurassic and cretaceous sediments. sub-volcanic rocks are of magnetite series (gabbros to diorite) and ilmenite series (granite-granodiorite-monzonite) which have intruded...

the prime objective of the study is to identify the long-run and short-run relationship between indian stock price viz., bse sensex (hereafter named as bse) and gold price (gold) in india. the daily closing price data were collected for the period of ten years ranging from 1st april 2004 to 31st march 2014 with 2490 observations. the study employed two models: model one used gold as dependent v...

The aim of this work is a green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Anthriscus sylvestris, Ferula gummosa, and Achillea eriohora leaf and stems as the reducing agents. The effects of reducing agent concentration in the reaction mixture and temperature on the size of the gold nanotriangles were studied. The nanoparticles were characterized using UV–Vis spectrosco...
