In this data article, by using inductively coupled plasma optical spectrometry (ICP-OES), we aimed to (1) determine the concentration levels of As, Ag, Sr, Sn, Sb, and Mo in the sediments and the shells of Trachycardium lacunosum simultaneously in two separated areas (unpolluted and polluted areas) (2) comparison between the metal contents of sediments in the unpolluted and polluted areas as we...

The title compound, Eu(11)Zn(6)As(12), crystallizes with the Sr(11)Cd(6)Sb(12) structure type (Pearson's symbol mC58). The complex monoclinic structure of the first arsenide to form with this type features chains made of corner-sharing ZnAs(4) tetra-hedra, separated by Eu atoms. There are a total of 15 unique positions in the asymmetric unit. Except for one Eu atom with site symmetry 2/m, all a...

Acyclovir, guanine, and impurity A have been baseline separated with isocratic conditions at pH=3.0 and run time under 15 min by employing a SB-CN column from Agilent (150 mm x 4.6mm and 3.5 microm). Moreover, when run time was increased to 40 min six impurities (guanine, impurities A, F, G, Vir 3/4 and N(7)) plus acyclovir were separated in the same conditions. The mobile phase consisted of bu...

The mechanisms through which p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) is involved in smooth muscle contraction remain largely unresolved. We examined the role of p38 MAPK in prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha))-induced vasoconstriction and in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) of rat small intrapulmonary arteries (IPA). The p38 MAPK inhibitors SB-203580 and SB-202190 strongly inhi...

Topological insulators (TI's) are a new class of quantum matter with extraordinary surface electronic states, which bear great potential for spintronics and error-tolerant quantum computing. In order to put a TI into any practical use, these materials need to be fabricated into devices whose basic units are often p-n junctions. Interesting electronic properties of a 'topological' p-n junction w...

A multivalent Sb-related cation (Sb(+3) ⇔ Sb(+5)) and S-related anion (S(−2) S(0)) mixed redox Sb 2 S 3 cathode breaks the capacity limit of conventional metal sulfides enables high-capacity aluminum-ion batteries.

A new dinuclear triphenyl-anti-mony(V) derivative with an oxide bridge, [Sb(2)(C(6)H(5))(6)(C(6)H(3)ClNO(2))(2)O], has been synthesized. Each Sb atom is five-coordianted by three C atoms and two O atoms in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Metal centers are bridged by a μ(2)-oxide functionality, and phenyl substituents on Sb atoms are in an staggered arrangement. The Sb-O-Sb bridge dis...

We have studied the structure of Sb-terminated GaAs(001) surfaces using reflection high energy electron diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Clean, As-terminated (2×4) surfaces were prepared by molecular beam epitaxy and then exposed to Sb4 at 490°C, producing a (2×8)-reconstructed surface terminated with ~1 ML of Sb. Re-heating such a surface ...
