The liquid-liquid extraction of neodymium(III) from succinate media (0.06 M) has been studied at pH 6.0 with the solution of 0.1 M of N-n-octylaniline in xylene when equilibrium is maintained for 5 min. The back-extraction of neodymium(III) has been performed by using 0.1 M HClO₄. The effect of various parameters, such as pH, equilibrium time, extractant concentration, stripping agents, organic...

Monte Amiata is a recently extinct volcano that produced trachydacites and a few small olivine latite flows. The Amiata suite showed crustal strontium, neodymium, and lead isotopic signatures. Sr/Sr ratio values ranged from 0.712447 to 0.713068 and Nd/Nd ratios ranged from 0.512094 to 0.512203. Pb/Pb values ranged from 15.6694 to 16.2330 and Pb/Pb ratios ranged from 18.7125 to 19.0882. The oliv...

The southwestern tropical Pacific, part of a major pathway for waters feeding the Equatorial Undercurrent, is a region of important geochemical enrichment through land-ocean boundary exchange. Here we develop an original method based on the coupling between dynamical modeling and geochemical tracer data to identify regions of enrichment along the water pathways from the subtropics to the equato...

In 0.01 M 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (Hepes), pH 7.4 and room temperature, the binding of neodymium to N,N'-ethylenebis[2-(o-hydroxyphenolic)glycine] (EHPG), or N,N'-di(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N' diacetic acid (HBED) had been studied from 210 to 330 nm by means of difference UV spectra. Two peaks at 240 and 292 nm appear in difference UV spectra after neodymium...

ABBREVIATIONS LITT, laser interstitial therapyNd:YAG, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum.

Micromarkers with five photoluminescence colors were developed as tracers for shadowing pursuits. The markers are colorless powders with particle diameters of several tens to several hundreds of micrometers, prepared using a cryogenic sample crusher. They were visualized using red, green, yellow, magenta or cyan photoluminescence under ultraviolet light at approximately 365 nm. The markers were...

Laser emission from neodymium-doped glass was first produced nearly 40 years ago. Later, a crystal of yttrium, aluminum, and garnet (YAG) was discovered to be a better lasing host for neodymium. The Nd:YAG laser has since been used for a variety of medical applications, more recently, this instrument has been used for the purpose of damaging hair follicles to epilate unwanted hair. This article...
