The partition of sulfate, Ca(++), and Mg(++) across the membrane of the sartorius muscle has been studied, and the effect of various concentrations of these ions in the Ringer solution on the cellular level of Na(+), K(+), and Cl(-) has been determined. The level of the three divalent ions in toad plasma and muscle in vivo has been assayed. Muscle was found to contain an almost undetectable amo...

The efficacy of manganese ions (Mn2+) as intracellular (ic) contrast agents was assessed in rat myocardium. T1 and T2 and Mn content were measured in ventricular tissue excised from isolated perfused hearts in which a 5-min wash-in with 0, 30, 100, 300, or 1000 microM of Mn dipyridoxyl diphosphate (MnDPDP) was followed by a 15-min wash-out to remove extracellular (ec) Mn2+. An inversion recover...

An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigation on Ti-doped MgAl2O4 spinels has been made in order to study the Ti sites. The study we present here concerns the angular dependencies of the Ti EPR lines and the variations of the EPR spectra due to a modification of the TiO2 content or of the chemical composition from MgAl2O4 to MgAl4O7 and MgAl6O10. In all the studied samples except one, ...

High fluence ion implantation of Ga ions was conducted on heated Zircaloy-4 in the range of 10-10 Ga ions/cm2. Surface effects were studied using SEM and electron microprobe analysis. The depth profile of Ga in the Zircaloy was characterized with Rutherford backscattering and SIMS techniques. Results indicate that the Zirc-4 is little affected up to a fluence of 10 Ga ions/cm. After implantatio...

The degradation of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) by persulfate was investigated. The kinetics of persulfate oxidation of 2-chlorophenol in aqueous solutions at various pH, oxidant concentration, temperature, Fe2+ and Cu2+ ions content was studied. Maximum of 2-CP degradation occurred at pH 8. The oxidation rate of 2-CP increased with increasing the persulfate molar excess. The degradation process was s...

In this work, we investigated synthesis, magnetic properties of silica coated metal ferrite, (CoFe2O4)/SiO2 and Manganese doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (MnxCo1-xFe2O4 with x= 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06)/SiO2 for possible biomedical application. All the ferrites nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method using FeCl3.6H2O, CoCl2.6H2O and MnCl2.2H2O as precursors, and were silica coated ...

Single metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed from the coordination between one-fold metal ions and organic linkers, show limited functionalities when used as precursors for nanoporous carbon materials. Herein, we propose to merge the advantages of zinc and cobalt metals ions into one single MOF crystal (i.e., bimetallic MOFs). The organic linkers that coordinate with cobalt ions tend to ...

ti-mcm-41 was synthesized at ph 3, 7 and 11. the titanium content was determined by aas and found to be 4%, 3.2% and 4.5%, respectively. in order to increase the titanium content in ti-mcm-41, ti(iv) ions were grafted onto ti-mcm-41 using ticl4 in toluene and ti(obu)4 in ethanol. the incorporation of ti was determined to be 28% and 30%, respectively. the oxidation of olefins such as cyclopenten...

A new PVC membrane ion selective electrode which is highly selective towards Ni(II) ions was constructed using a Schiff base containing a binaphthyl moiety as the ionophore. The sensor exhibited a good Nernstian response for nickel ions over the concentration range 1.0x10(-1)-5.0x10(-6) M with a lower limit of detection of 1.3x10(-6) M. It has a fast response time and can be used for a period o...

the complexation reactions between cu2+, pd2+ and ni2+ metal ions with promethazine (pm) in water or dmf were studied by the spectrophotometric methods at [(15, 25,35 and 45±0.1) °c]. the complexation process was optimized in terms of ph, temperature and contact time. the stoichiometry of the complex was found to be 1:1 (metal ion/ligand). the formation constants of the resulting complexes were...
