Electron loss and capture processes arising in collisions of heavy low-charged ions with atoms and ions are the main charge-changing reactions in heavy-ion driven inertial fusion (HIDIF) [1]. However, at present time, virtually no experimental and theoretical data are available for removal processes involving fast heavy low-charged ions. In this work, the projectile-ionization (stripping) cross...

Excessive amounts of heavy metals adversely affect plant growth and development. Whereas some regions naturally contain high levels of heavy metals, anthropogenic release of heavy metals into the environment continuously increases soil contamination. The presence of elevated levels of heavy metal ions triggers a wide range of cellular responses including changes in gene expression and synthesis...

direct orthogonal signal correction(dosc) and savitzky-golay filters (sgf) were applied as preprocessing methods on the original and first derivative absorbance data. principle component regression (pcr), partial least squares (pls) and iterative target transformation factor analysis (ittfa), were used in spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of heavy divalent metal ions, lead, zinc,mer...
