A differential-pulse polarographic (DPP) method was developed for the determination of brodimoprim (BDP) in Michaelis (MCL) buffer. The peak potential (Ep) occurs at 21.33 V (versus SCE) when the pH of the system is 4.0. The voltammetric behaviour in MCL buffer and the mechanisms of the electrode reaction were studied by, e.g., linear sweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry and normal-pulse polar...

Lithographically fabricated iridium-based mercury microelectrode arrays are shown to be very suitable for adsorptive stripping measurements of trace nickel in the presence of the dimethylgloxime complexing agent. Variables affecting the response have been assessed and optimized. The sensor optimization has resulted in a favorable and highly stable response, with good linearity and precision (RS...

Unlike phagocytosis, which is typically a substrate-induced phenomenon, pinocytosis appears to be a constitutive activity in most animal cell types (see Pratten et al., 1980; Steinman et al., 1983). Pinocytic vesicles are constantly being formed from invaginations of the plasma membrane, irrespective of the availability of substrates; hence the analogies of a paternoster-style elevator (Lloyd, ...

Investigation of the electrochemical behavior using cyclic voltammetry and detection of [Mn(2+)(thiophenyl-2-carboxylic acid)2 (triethanolamine)] with adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry. The electrochemical behavior of a manganese(II) complex [Mn(2+)(thiophenyl-2-carboxylic acid)2(triethanolamine)] (A) was investigated using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry in an aceta...

The absorptive cell of the suckling rat ileum is specialized for the uptake and digestion of milk macromolecules from the intestinal lumen. The apical cytoplasm contains an extensive tubulocisternal system, a variety of vesicles and multivesicular bodies (MVB), and a giant phagolysosomal vacuole where digestion is completed. To determine if sorting of membrane-bound and fluid-phase macromolecul...

drinking water has received considerable attention recently. however, misuse and mismanagement have resulted in a rapid and widespread decline in source-water quality and supply. water quality guidelines can be used to identify constituents of concern in water, to determine the levels to which the constituents of water must be treated for drinking purposes. membrane technology for the water cyc...

Magnetic nanoparticles are used in adsorptive removal of heavy metals from polluted wastewater. However, their poor stability in an acidic medium necessitates their protection with a coating layer. Coating magnetic nanoparticles with carbon showed proper protection but the heavy metal removal efficiency was slightly weak. However, to boost the removal efficiencies of surface functionalization, ...
