Exclusive measurements of twoand three-body events were performed for the system Sn+ ' Mo at 19.1 MeV/nucleon. Most ternary events are consistent with sequential processes in which one of the two deep-inelastic fragments fissions. For such events large diA'erences are found between the fission probabilities of projectilelike and targetlike fragments of a given mass, this probability being large...

production of fe-c alloy powders by mechanical alloying was studied. fe and graphite elemental powdermixtures containing 0.8 and 1.5wt.% graphite were mechanically alloyed using a planetary ball mill. thestructural changes of powder particles during mechanical alloying were studied by x-ray diffractometery,scanning electron microscopy and microhardness measurements. for both compositions, mecha...

the 440 fertile eggs, in a completely randomized design were divided into 11 treatments with four replicatesand 10 eggs per each replicate. treatments including: (t1; control; without injection), (t2; injected with 0.3ml saline 9.0%; sham control), (t3, t4 and t5) 25, 75, 125 ppm fe-nano, (t6, t7 and t8) 50, 100, 150 ppmfe-nano-alimet chelate, (t9, t10 and t11) 50, 100, 150 ppm fe-aliment chela...

Roots of Fe-sufficient and Fe-Deficient pea (Pisum sativum L.) were studied to determine the effect of Fe-deficiency on the activity of the root-cell plasmalemma Fe(2+) transport protein. Rates of Fe(III) reduction and short-term Fe(2+) influx were sequentially determined in excised primary lateral roots using Fe(III)-ethylene-diaminetetraacetic acid (Fe[III]-EDTA). Since the extracellular Fe(2...

Different metabolic pathways of supplemental and fortification Fe, or inhibition of Zn absorption by Fe, may explain adverse effects of supplemental Fe in Fe-sufficient infants. We determined whether the mode of oral Fe administration or the amount habitually consumed affects Fe absorption and systemic Fe utilisation in infants, and assessed the effects of these interventions on Zn absorption, ...

Effects of 10 microM cadmium (supplied as Cd nitrate) on the utilization and allocation of iron (Fe) were investigated in poplar (Populus alba L.) plants grown in nutrient solution with Fe(III)-EDTA or Fe(III)-citrate as the Fe source. The effects of Cd were also compared with those of Fe deprivation. The accumulation of Fe in roots was 10-fold higher in plants grown with Fe-citrate than with F...

Microbial dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) is widespread in anaerobic sediments and is a key producer of aqueous Fe(II) in suboxic sediments that contain reactive ferric oxides. Previous studies have shown that DIR produces some of the largest natural fractionations of stable Fe isotopes, although the mechanism of this isotopic fractionation is not yet well understood. Here we compare Fe isot...
