It was shown that the rate of excretion of aluminum in the urine was assumed to have a limiting value. Therefore, an excess intake of aluminum indicated that the aluminum content in the body remained high for several days after the absorption of aluminum from the intestine. Accumulation of aluminum in the body has been linked to disease conditions. The toxic effects of aluminum to neuronal cell...

Using a staining technique developed in 2004, we examined hippocampal tissue from autopsy-confirmed cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and controls. The stain disclosed aluminum in cells and subcellular structure. All pyramidal neurons in these aged specimens appeared to exhibit at least some degree of aluminum staining. Many displayed visible aluminum only in their nucleolus. At the other extre...

In recent year’s aluminum and aluminum alloys are widely used in automotive industries. These are light weight (density of about 2.7g/cc),having good malleability and formability, high corrosion resistance and high electrical and thermal conductivity. High machinability and workability of aluminum alloys are prone to porosity due to gases dissolved during melting processes. However, in the engi...

Aluminum use and primary aluminum production results in the generation of various particles, fumes, gases, and airborne materials with the potential for inducing a wide range of lung pathology. Nevertheless, the presence of diffuse parenchymal or interstitial lung disease related to these processes remains controversial. The relatively uncommon occurrence of interstitial lung diseases in alumin...

Nanocrystalline TiO2 films, surface modified with Al3+, were manufactured by depositing a TiO2 suspension containing small amounts of aluminum nitrate or aluminum chloride onto conducting glass substrates, followed by drying, compression, and finally heating to 530 degrees C. Electrodes prepared with TiO2 nanoparticles coated with less than 0.3 wt % aluminum oxide with respect to TiO2 improved ...

The health monitoring of structural joints is a major concern of the engineering community and needs to be addressed with the proper consideration. Among joining techniques, the spot welding and weld-bonding (spot weld + adhesive bonding) methods are of great interest in a number of industries. Spot welding is the traditional assembly method for steel-based automotive structures, while weld-bon...

Studying the properties of structures where at least one spatial dimension is on the nanometer scale is motivated by many factors from engineering (such as the semiconductor industry’s push towards higher density integrated circuits), chemistry (developing methods to produce particles of well controlled size and structure), biology (using DNA to control the self-assembly of small structures) an...

abstract        background and objective: aluminum salts are among the most common useful additive compounds in preparation of human and animal vaccines. aluminum phosphate and aluminum hydroxide are two additives that show good immunoadjuvant effects with many antigens. aluminum-containing vaccines lead to a better and longer immune response compared to adjuvant-lacking vaccines. the chromogen...

In the presence of normal renal function, a high concentration of aluminum in drinking water has been implicated as a factor in the etiology of a neurological syndrome in one specific geographical area. The role of aluminum as a toxic agent in other neurological disorders, where renal function is normal, is controversial. Aluminum is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is normally excr...
