Ni0.25Fe0.75Zr₃ metallic glassy ribbons were annealed in evacuated quartz ampoules beyond the crystallization temperatures (Tx ~655 K) over the range 773 to 1,173 K for varying periods of time. The resistivity of samples annealed over the temperature range 923 to 1,073 K for periods less than four hours increased as a function of decreasing temperature, while it decreased for samples annealed f...

The time-kinetics of NO2 induced effects on bronchial responsiveness are poorly known as most observations have been made shortly after exposure. The aim of this study was to measure nonspecific bronchial responsiveness, lung function and inflammatory markers at different times after NO2 exposure in asthmatics. Nineteen subjects with mild asthma were exposed to either purified air or 488 microg...

L-arginine-dependent synthesis of nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-) by macrophages correlates with and is required for their execution of nonspecific cytotoxicity toward some tumor cells and microbes. However, the bioactive L-arginine metabolites responsible for cytotoxicity are unknown. Mammalian endothelial cells have recently been shown to release nitric oxide (NO.); we therefore determined ...

pH has been recognized as one of the key environmental parameters with significant impacts on the nitrogen cycle in the environment. In this study, the effects of pH on NO3-/NO2- fate and N2O emission were examined with Shewanella loihica strain PV-4, an organism with complete denitrification and respiratory ammonification pathways. Strain PV-4 was incubated at varying pH with lactate as the el...

[1] We present a retrieval of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) columns from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) satellite instrument that improves in several ways over previous retrievals, especially in the accounting of Rayleigh and cloud scattering. Slant columns, which are directly fitted without low-pass filtering or spectral smoothing, are corrected for an artificial offset li...

Nitroalkene derivatives of linoleic acid (nitrolinoleic acid; LNO2) and nitro-oleic acid (OA-NO2) are endogenous lipid products with potent anti-inflammatory properties. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic potential of OA-NO2 in a mouse model of renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. B6129SF2/J mice were subjected to bilateral renal ischemia for 30 min, followed by 24...

adsorption of no2 molecule on pristine and n-doped tio2 anatase nanoparticles have been studied using the density functional theory (dft) technique. the structural properties (such as bond lengths and bond angles) and the electronic properties (such as density of states, band structures and atomic partial charges) have been computed for considered nanoparticles. the results show that, the adsor...
