the role of calcite as related to the chemical behavior of boron (b) in calcareous soils was investigated through an assessment of b adsorption and desorption reactions on and from calcite in four ratios of solid to solution rate, three levels of ionic strength, and within a ph range of 7.5 to 11.5. experimental data indicated that b adsorption is increased by an increase in the solid to soluti...

In this article, alkali lignin (AL)-assisted direct exfoliation of MoS2 mineral into single-layer and few-layer nanosheets in water is reported for the first time. Under optimized conditions, the concentration of MoS2 nanosheets in the obtained dispersion can be as high as 1.75 ± 0.08 mg mL(-1), which is much higher than the typical reported concentrations (<1.0 mg mL(-1)) using synthetic polym...

We report the synthesis of several unique, boron-rich pincer complexes derived from m-carborane. The SeBSe and SBS pincer ligands can be synthesized via two independent synthetic routes and are metalated with Pd(II). These structures represent unique coordinating motifs, each with a Pd-B(2) bond chelated by two thio- or selenoether ligands. This class of structures serves as the first example o...

This review summarizes evidence that supports working hypotheses for the roles of boron in animal model systems. It is well established that vascular plants, diatoms, and some species of marine algal flagellates have acquired an absolute requirement for boron, although the primary role of boron in plants remains unknown. Recent research findings suggest that physiologic amounts of supplemental ...

In this article, we report types of magnetic domain patterns caused by either dipolar coupling or exchange coupling inside a heat-treated boron-rich NdFeB melt-spun ribbon. The average grain size of the sample was about 38 nm. Single particle domains were commonly observed in Fresnel images all through the specimen, suggesting little exchange coupling among the grains in these regions. Snake-sh...

statement of problem: reconstruction methods are an essential prerequisite for functional rehabilitation of the stomatognathic system. platelet-rich plasma (prp) offers a new and potentially useful adjunct to bone substitute materials (e.g. xenografts) in oral and maxillofacial bone and implant reconstructive surgery. purpose: an animal study was carried out to investigate the influence of prp ...

Keratinocyte proliferation and migration are essential for the reconstruction of the cutaneous barrier after skin injury. Interestingly, thermal waters which are rich in trace elements (e.g. boron and manganese), are known to be able to improve wound healing. In order to understand the mechanism of action of this effect, our study investigated the in vitro modulation of keratinocyte migration a...
