a study of the kinetic analysis of total lead from spent car battery ash by hydrochloric acidleaching has been examined. the physico-chemical analysis of the ash powder was carried outby the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (icp-ms) and x–ray diffraction (xrd).the effects of the acid concentration, temperature and particle size on the rate of battery ashdissolution have been investi...

In this study, a high energy planetary ball milling technique was used to synthesize nano-crystalline Mo-Cu alloys. Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) and copper oxide (CuO) were used as the starting materials. Carbo-thermal co-reduction of mixed Mo and Cu oxides powders was done with milling followed by a heat treatment at a high temperature. Differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric (DTA/TG) wa...

In the present investigation, the magnetohydrodynamic Falkner-Skan flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluids over a stretching/shrinking wedge with variable suction, internal heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction with activation energy have been scrutinized. Nanofluid model is composed of “Brownian motion’’ and “Thermophoresis’’. Transformed non-dimensional coupled non-linear equations a...

objective(s): acquisition of tnf-α resistance plays role in the onset and growth of malignant tumors. previous studies have demonstrated that mcf-7 cell line and its doxorubicin resistant variant mcf-7/adr are resistant against the cytotoxic effects of tnf-α. in this study, we investigated the role of akt activation in resistance of mcf-7 and mcf-7/adr against tnf-α cytotoxicity. materials and ...

the aim of this study was to determine the chemical constituents, antimicrobial, cytotoxicity, mutagenic and anti-mutagenic activities of the essential oil of artemisia ciniformis krasch. & popov ex poljakov, against important bacterial pathogens and human cells which were unknown before. in vitro cytotoxicity was measured using a modified mtt assay on normal human lymphocytes and tumor hela ce...

Low and/or total failed fertilization following ICSI is a disappointing effect that some couples may face during their treatment which may have severe social and economic consequences for these infertile couples. This phenomenon has been mainly attributed to failed oocyte activation post ICSI. Researchers have regarded this failure due to the absence or deficiency of sperm associated to oocyte ...

A novel organometallic platform for activation and splitting of multiple H2 molecules is investigated by quantum chemical calculations.
