Two thermoresponsive polymers based on alkyl modified poly-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) that exhibit very sensitive and reversible temperature-dependant water solubility are described. The application of these polymers as Au nanocatalyst stabilizers leads to a "smart" thermoresponsive Au nanoparticle catalyst.

This study included the application of some experiments in chemical treatment heavy metals elements by preparing biological surfaces that are adsorbed from natural and other substances, as activated carbon prepared charred pistachio shell with concentrated H2SO4 Nano-Calcium Oxide CaCL2.2H2O NaOH . The materials were diagnosed spectral techniques where FTIR infrared spectrum proved formation ca...

Nitric oxide is an endothelium-derived relaxing factor. Conversion of L-arginine to nitric oxide follows mediator-induced elevation of endothelial cytosolic calcium concentration. However, not all endothelium-dependent vasodilatation is caused by endothelium-derived relaxing factor, and few studies have correlated changes in vascular tone with measurement of free cytosolic calcium concentration...

in our current study, supercritical water impregnation (scwi) was introduced as a unique catalyst preparation method by employing the high diffusivity property of supercritical water. the method allows nano-particles to place on support surfaces in extremely dispersed conditions. the silica-based nanocatalyst granules for this purpose were prepared by initial impregnation of highly porous silic...

Increased calcium uptake in vascular tissue, leading to elevated cytosolic free calcium, has been implicated in the pathophysiology of hypertension. This study examined the dose-dependent effect of deuterium oxide (5%, 10%, or 20% in drinking water) on systolic blood pressure, aortic calcium uptake, and platelet cytosolic free calcium in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Starting at age 8 weeks,...

Because the effects of calcium supplementation on arterial tone in nitric oxide-deficient hypertension are unknown, we investigated the influence of elevating dietary calcium from 1.1 to 3.0% in Wistar rats treated with N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 20 mg. kg(-1). day(-1)) for 8 wk. A high-calcium diet attenuated the development of hypertension induced by L-NAME and abrogated the ...

A low-concentration cobalt (∼6 at%) and manganese (∼3 at%) bimetallic oxide catalyst supported on ceria nanorods (CoMnOx/CeO2), as well as its related single metal oxide counterparts (CoOx/CeO2 and MnOx/CeO2) was synthesized via a deposition-precipitation approach. The fresh samples after air-calcination at 400 °C were tested under the reaction conditions of CO oxidation, and showed the followi...

Alarming environmental changes and the threat of natural fuel resource extinction are concerning issues in human development. This has increased scientists’ efforts to phase out traditional energy resources move on environmentally friendly biofuels. In this study, non-edible castor oil was transesterified with methanol using a manganese-doped zinc oxide (Mn-doped ZnO) nanocatalyst. A heterogene...

One-pot reaction of aldehydes or ketons with aniline derivatives was performed using NaBH4 and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The optimum amount of Fe3O4 MNPs was 5 mol% under solvent free condition. The corresponding products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The magnetically recoverable iron oxide nanoparticles are found to be efficient for synthesis of amine derivatives. These...
