We perform model independent and model dependent analyses of solar neutrino data including the neutral current event rate from SNO. The inclusion of the first SNO NC data in the model independent analysis determines the allowed ranges of B flux normalisation and the νe survival probability more precisely than what was possible from the SK and SNO CC combination. We perform global νe − νactive o...

BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) and related molecules are thought to inhibit human platelet aggregation by raising levels of cGMP. METHODS AND RESULTS Both oxidative stress (reactive oxygen species) and hemoglobin (Hb) seem to oppose NO effects. A major fraction of NO in the blood is bound to thiols of Hb, forming S-nitrosohemoglobin (SNO-Hb), which releases the NO group on deoxygenation in the ...

SnO(2) nanowires with lengths in the tens of micrometres range have been synthesized on a large scale via a facile polyethylene glycol-directed method at ambient temperature followed by a suitable thermal treatment of the precursor nanowires. The morphology of the precursor of the SnO(2) nanowires is tunable by changing the concentration of either SnCl(2) or polyethylene glycol. After calcinati...

S-nitrosoalbumin (SNO-Alb) has been shown to be an efficacious cytoprotective molecule in acute lung injury, as well as ischemia-reperfusion injury in heart and skeletal muscle. Nonetheless, limited information is available on the cellular mechanism of such protection. Accordingly, we investigated the protective effects of SNO-Alb [ and its denitrosated congener, reduced albumin (SH-Alb) ] on t...

The interaction in the system of SnO2 and h-MoO3 prepared by their joint mechanical activation in a roller-ring vibratory mill was investigated. A series of catalysts was prepared with SnO2: h-MoO3 molar ratio 1:1; 1:2.3; 2.3:1 and 5.7:1. The catalysts were characterized by various techniques including X-ray phase, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and synchron...

Porous SnO(2) nanospheres with high surface areas have been synthesized through a solvothermal method in the absence of any templates. The structure and morphology of the resultant products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique....

In this paper, the effects of changes in Sol concentration on the structural and optical properties of SnO2 Nanoparticles are studied through the Sol-Gel method. SnO2 Nanoparticles are produced from different SnO2 solution concentrations (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mol/L) at room temperature.  X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis are...

In this work, we introduce a bilayer ETL composed of lithium (Li)-doped compact SnO 2 (c-SnO ) and potassium-capped nanoparticle layers (NP-SnO to enhance the electron extraction charge transport properties in perovskite solar cells, resulting an improved PCE strongly reduced J – V hysteresis.

Photoinduced interfacial electron transfer (IET) in sulforhodamine B (SRhB)-aminosilane-Tin oxide (SnO(2)) nanoparticle donor-bridge-acceptor complexes has been studied on a single molecule and ensemble average level. On both SnO(2) and ZrO(2), the sum of single molecule fluorescence decays agree with the ensemble average results, suggesting complete sampling of molecules under single molecule ...

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and Cajal body-specific RNAs (scaRNAs) are named for their subcellular localization within nucleoli and Cajal bodies (conserved subnuclear organelles present in the nucleoplasm), respectively. They have been found to play important roles in rRNA, tRNA, snRNAs, and even mRNA modification and processing. All snoRNAs fall in two categories, box C/D snoRNAs and box H/...
