hours to several days. We changed the concentration of ammonium hydroxide from 1 mmol/L to 2 mmol/L. We again prepared a standard solution of uric acid at the same molar ratio of 1.7:1 with this concentration of 2-mmol/L ammonium hydroxide. With this ammonium hydroxide concentration, uric acid dissolved completely in a few minutes. The standard solution was stable at least 3 months stored in a ...

Lanthanum (La) doped Ceria (CeO2) has attracted considerable interest as a candidate material for thermal barrier coating (TBC) because of its low thermal conductivity and potential capability to be operated above 1250°C. In this study, La2Ce2O7 powder was synthesized through the ball mill method. The crystal structure of La3+ su...

A PVC membrane electrode based on 1-[({[(butylsulfunyl)carbothioyl]disulfanyl} carbothioyl)sulfanyl]butane as a suitable ion carrier for determination of lanthanum(III) ion was prepared. This electrode revealedsuch a good selectivity toward La3+ ion over a wide variety of other metal ions. Some experimental parametersuch as membrane composition, nature, and amount of plasticizer, the amount of ...

This method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of aluminum(III) in dialysis concentrates using atomic absorption spectrometry after coprecipitation with lanthanum phosfate. The analytical parameters that influenced the quantitave coprecipitation of analyte including amount of lanthanum, amount of phosfate, pH and duration time were optimized. The % recoveries of the analyte io...

The effects of tetragonal strain on the electronic and magnetic properties of strontium-doped lanthanum manganite, La(2/3)Sr(1/3)MnO(3) (LSMO), are investigated by means of density-functional methods. As far as the structural properties are concerned, the comparison between theory and experiments for LSMO strained on the most commonly used substrates shows an overall good agreement: the slight ...

The contents of pectin...

in this work, for the first time, the rheological properties of nanofluids of lanthania nanoparticles (nps) in ethylene glycol (eg) as functions of shear rate, volume fraction, and temperature were measured. the results showed that both eg and the nanofluids behave as non-newtonian fluids at lower shear rates and transform to newtonian fluids at higher shear rates. the values of viscosity for b...

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the in vitro susceptibility of Candida albicans to a mixture of chlorhexidine and calcium hydroxide using a tube dilution test. A suspension containing C. albicans was exposed to 2% chlorhexidine solution, calcium hydroxide paste and 2% chlorhexidine mixed with calcium hydroxide in plastic tissue culture wells. The tested agents were incubated wi...
