The objectives of this study were [1] to conduct some experimental tests of the surface precipitation adsorption model, and [2] to work on the development of a simple yet widely applicable approach to modelling adsorption of inorganic ions on oxide surfaces. The latter represents the first portion of our continuing effort to develop a data base for adsorption of inorganic contaminants in oxide ...

In the title compound, [CdI(2){(C(6)H(5))(3)PO}(2)], the Cd(II) atom is ligated by two I atoms and two O atoms from two triphenyl-phosphine oxide ligands in a disorted tetra-hedral arrangement. While the O-Cd-I angles vary from 106.67 (7) to 111.23 (7)°, the O-Cd-O angle is 88.60 (10)° and the I-Cd-I angle angle is 125.47 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by van der Waals forces only.

The elimination of cadmium in feces was studied in a group of 15 male workers exposed to cadmium oxide dust in a nickel-cadmium battery factory. The elimination of cadmium in feces was on the average 619 and 268 microgram/day in seven smokers and eight nonsmokers, respectively. The corresponding ranges were 97-2577 and 31-1102 microgram/day. The cadmium concentrations in blood were significantl...

The results of a follow-up study of 100 men first examined in 1953 after exposure to cadmium oxide fume are presented and discussed. In 1953 there were 19 cases of chronic cadmium poisoning amongst these men. Twenty-four new cases are now described. The first signs of chronic cadmium poisoning could be seen after a latent interval after exposure had ended. Respiratory function tests showed a gr...

Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method using Cadmium acetate and ammonia solution. Presence of chemical species, were verified by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) Spectrum. From X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) spectrum the particle size, d-spacing value and structure of the nanoparticle were analysed. Size of the nanoparticles and the elemental composition were detect...

The zinc-cadmium oxide (ZnO-CdO) nanocomposites with different weight percentages of cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the sonochemical method using zinc and cadmium nitrates as precursors to probe their nano-structured surfaces for the decomposition reactions of chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (CEPS) as a surrogate of sulfur mustard agent simulant. Scanning electron...

Coupling factor B activity was measured by the stimulation of the ATP-driven NAD+ reduction by succinate or the 32Pi-ATP exchange activity of Factor B-depleted submitochondrial particles. Half-maximal coupling activity was inhibited by 30 microM cadmium, 5 microM phenylarsine oxide, or 0.3 mM arsenite-2,3-dimercaptopropanol. The inhibition was relieved by slight excess of dithiol but not by a 1...

OBJECTIVE To study the possible effect of angiotensin II type 1 Receptor blocker (AT1 blocker) on renal function, arterial blood pressure and parathyroid hormone related protein over expression in cadmium induced nephrotoxicity in adult male rats. Forty five rats were divided randomly into a control (group I), group II, received cadmium chloride at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day, orally, for nine weeks,...

NAD-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a ubiquitous enzyme involved in the glycolytic pathway. It has been widely demonstrated that mammalian GAPDH, in addition to its role in glycolysis, fulfills alternative functions mainly linked to its susceptibility to oxidative posttranslational modifications. Here, we investigated the responses of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thali...
