We synthesized a variety o f colloidal and non-colloidal mixed hexacyanoferrate(II) com plexes of Fe, C u, C o, Ni, Z n . Mn and studied the cesium sorption in vitro under physiological conditions (artificial gastric juice. pH 1.2 and artificial duodenal ju ice. pH 6.8). All of the hexacyanoferrates under study (except cesium iron (III) hexacyanoferrate C sFeH C F) sorb tracer am ounts of 1'7Cs...

Lamb’s quarters goosefoot (with scientific name “Chenopodium album L.”) can absorb and purify heavy metals from environment. Cesium is one of pollutant and basic elements. Due to similarity to potassium, it can be absorbed by plants intensively. According to its absorption from the environment, cesium effect on anatomical and ontogenical structure of plant was studied. For this purpose, plant s...

In response to a brief vagal stimulus, the atrial rate initially slows, then transiently accelerates, and slows a second time. We determined the effects of three antagonists to two ionic channels on this characteristic triphasic pacemaker response. Brief bursts of vagal stimulation were delivered to anesthetized dogs, and atrial cycle lengths were recorded. Either barium, cesium, or UL-FS-49 wa...

Phytoaccumulation is a technique to extract metals from soil utilising ability of plants. Cesium is a valuable metal while radioactive isotopes of cesium can be hazardous. In order to establish a more efficient phytoaccumulation system, small molecules which promote plants to accumulate cesium were investigated. Through chemical library screening, 14 chemicals were isolated as 'cesium accumulat...

Naturally-occurring cesium exists as the stable isotope (Cs) in the earth’s crust at an average concentration of about 1 ppm in granites and 4 ppm in sedimentary rocks. The most important source of commercial cesium is the mineral pollucite, which usually contains about 5–32% Cs2O by weight. The largest deposits of pollucite are located in Manitoba, Canada and account for about two-thirds of th...

[1] It is shown that intense ion cyclotron turbulence can be induced in the near-Earth space by shaped release of neutral gas of materials such as lithium, cesium, etc. Release of 1 ton of neutral lithium gas in the Earth’s equatorial plane at L = 2 can introduce about 30 GJ of energy which can be used to excite waves around the lithium ion cyclotron harmonics that readily evolves into the turb...

Growth and cesium accumulation characteristics of two cesium-accumulating bacteria isolated from soils were investigated. Rhodococcus erythropolis CS98 and Rhodococcus sp. strain CS402 accumulated high levels of cesium (approximately 690 and 380 mumol/g [dry weight] of cells or 92 and 52 mg/g [dry weight] of cells, respectively) after 24 h of incubation in the presence of 0.5 mM cesium. The opt...

Extracellular cesium causes synchronous, interictal-like bursting and prevents maintenance of long-term depression (LTD) in the CA1 hippocampal region. We have investigated the cellular mechanisms underlying cesium actions. Whole-cell recordings showed that brief (2 min) bath exposures to cesium caused pyramidal cell hyperpolarization associated with decreased membrane conductance attributable ...

Increased firing of cholinergic neurons of the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus (LDT) plays a critical role in generating the behavioral states of arousal and rapid eye movement sleep. The majority of these neurons exhibit a prominent transient potassium current (IA) that shapes firing but the properties of which have not been examined in detail. Although IA has been reported to be blocked by int...

We report valence and conduction band densities of states measured via ultraviolet and inverse photoemission spectroscopies on three metal halide perovskites, specifically methylammonium lead iodide and bromide and cesium lead bromide (MAPbI3, MAPbBr3, CsPbBr3), grown at two different institutions on different substrates. These are compared with theoretical densities of states (DOS) calculated ...
