Nitroalkenes are easily accessible in high variety by condensation of aldehydes with aliphatic nitroalkanes. They belong to the group of activated alkenes that can be hydrodimerized by cathodic reduction. There are many olefins with different electron withdrawing groups used for cathodic hydrodimerization, but not much is known about the behaviour of the nitro group. Synthetic applications of t...

In this study, adsorption of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as Diclofenac (DCF) on commercial carbonaceous aerogel honeycomb monolith (NANOLIT®-NQ40) was ascertained. Based on, the overall design an treatment should include feasible regeneration process for spent adsorbent. work, adsorption/desorption ameliorated by coupling electrochemical technology (anodic/cathodic polarisation)...

In electrophoretograms of creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) in patients' blood, a band, presumably of mitochondrial origin, is occasionally observed on the cathodic side of the CK-MM fraction. We studied the implications of this phenomenon in rats exposed to hypoxic conditions. In the hypoxic cardiac muscle, the proportions of CK-MB and CK-MM were not significantly different from controls, but t...

The design of cathodic protection systems normally relies on a combination of experience, experimental data and heuristics. However, problems and failures of CP systems not only has an economic cost, it can also present a threat to life and the environment. This paper will describe the application of a software system designed to simulate the performance of cathodic protection systems and predi...

Using FEM during the design of cathodic protection system can optimize the cathodic protection system and forecast the distribution of potential in real marine environment. A single bar was modeled for which protection was provided by an anode located in different places. Through analysis of each unit and synthesis in the whole area, mathematical model of 3-D finite element was constructed. Pot...

We reported well-integrated zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays (NRAs) on conductive textiles (CTs) and their structural and optical properties. The integrated ZnO NRAs were synthesized by cathodic electrochemical deposition on the ZnO seed layer-coated CT substrate in ultrasonic bath. The ZnO NRAs were regularly and densely grown as well as vertically aligned on the overall surface of CT substrate...

Enhanced performance was observed for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) utilizing counter electrodes based on Pt electrodeposits compared to counter electrodes based on sputtered Pt. Scanning electron microscopy of Pt electrodeposits revealed that the use of an initial cathodic overpotential pulse followed by steady electrodeposition at a mild cathodic potential yielded ∼40nm particles, compar...

The heterogeneity of the peroxidases in peas was examined by starch gel electrophoresis. Comparisons were made between tall and dwarf cultivars and among organ systems developed in light and darkness. Isoperoxidase bands could be grouped as cathodic, anodic and near-neutral (at pH 9.0) types. The cathodic set stained well with guaiacol oxidation products whereas some anodic bands reacted prefer...

Methidathion, a non-systemic organophosphorous insecticide and acaricide is studied at the hanging mercury drop electrode under cathodic stripping mode by means of cyclic and square-wave voltammetry (SWV). Its electrode reaction is analyzed in the light of recent theory of cathodic stripping processes of insoluble salts of SWV. Its complex electrode mechanism is described by an electrode reacti...

Electrochemical behaviour of isatin monohydrazone (IM) on a hanging mercury drop electrode in the Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution of pH = 2.00 – 9.00 has been investigated using square-wave voltammetry (SWV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. In the pH range of 2.00 – 5.00, the voltammogram of IM exhibited a single cathodic irreversible peak. When the pH value exceeds 5.00, a new ca...
