T lymphocytes express a unique I-A subregion-controlled surface molecule that is not expressed on B lymphocytes. We produced antisera and monoclonal antibodies recognizing this structure. Exhaustive B cell adsorption (A.TH X B10.HTT)F antiserum, produced against activated A.TL T cells, left antibodies that bind an I-Ak specificity on some B10.A(4R) T lymphocytes (11 +/- 2%, mean +/- SEM). Simil...

A La(III)-loaded granular ceramic adsorbent, consisting mainly of different forms of metal oxide minerals, was developed for phosphorus removal from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were performed to investigate the effects of various experimental parameters, such as contact time (3–48 h), initial phosphorus concentration (5–25 mg/L), pH (2.0–12.0), temperature (20, 30 and 40 8C) and anions ...

We investigate the atomic structure and electronic properties of monolayers of copper phthalocyanines (CuPc) deposited on epitaxial graphene substrate. We focus in particular on hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (F(16)CuPc), using both theoretical and experimental (scanning tunneling microscopy - STM) studies. For the individual CuPc and F(16)CuPc molecules, we calculated the electronic and optical ...

Density functional theory is used to calculate the adsorption of Ca adatoms on a MgO 100 surface. The Ca monomer binds preferentially to the oxygen site on the terrace with an adsorption energy of 0.84 eV and diffuses by hopping to a nearest neighboring oxygen site with a barrier of 0.45 eV. The binding at F and F+ oxygen vacancy defects is weaker than on the terrace. Small Ca clusters on the s...

in this study, the batch equilibrium method was used to conduct metribuzin adsorption/desorption experiments with eight soils from different regions of iran. the results indicated that the organic carbon (oc) content, clay content, cation exchange capacity (cec), and ph had a combined effect on the metribuzin adsorption on soil. under the experimental conditions, the adsorption amount of metrib...

Enriching oxygen content within nanosized zeolite X (as synthesized Na-X) by insertion of cerium (ion exchanged Ce-X) and functionalization with bromoperfluoro-n-octane (fluorinated F-X) is reported. The materials were fully characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nitrogen adsorption, and nuclear magnetic...

Pure silica zeolites are potentially hydrophobic and have therefore been considered to be interesting candidates for separating alcohols, e.g., 1-butanol, from water. Zeolites are traditionally synthesized at high pH, leading to the formation of intracrystalline defects in the form of silanol defects in the framework. These silanol groups introduce polar adsorption sites into the framework, pot...
