single crystal zno microrods are deposited on the surface of zn plate through corrosion of zn plate by h2o2, which is a green neutral reagent and easy to transform to h2o and o2. the structure and morphology of the obtained zno microrods were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and electron diffraction. a thermodyn...

Single crystal ZnO microrods are deposited on the surface of Zn plate through corrosion of Zn plate by H2O2 which is a green neutral reagent and easy to transform to H2O and O2. The structure and morphology of the obtained ZnO microrods were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. A thermodynamics mechanism was...

Rapid solidification experiments, including laser remelting, melt-spinning and wedge casting, were carried out to investigate the rapid solidification behavior of Zn-rich Zn–Ag peritectic alloys containing up to 9.0 at% Ag. For comparison, Bridgman solidification experiments of the same alloys were also carried out for growth velocities ranging from 0.02 to 4.82 mm/s, which were lower than that...

The long-term accumulation of Zn in soils provides the microbial community time to adapt to this heavy metal. To assess the effects of long-term exposure to Zn on the metabolic diversity and tolerance to Zn of soil microbial community, the pollution-induced community tolerance (PICT) method, based on the Biolog microtitre plate system, was used. It especially is useful to study gradients of pol...

Zn(2+) is required for many aspects of neuronal structure and function. However, the regulation of Zn(2+) in the nervous system remains poorly understood. Systematic analysis of tissue-profiling microarray data showed that the zinc transporter ZIP12 (slc39a12) is highly expressed in the human brain. In the work reported here, we confirmed that ZIP12 is a Zn(2+) uptake transporter with a conserv...

Zinc is required for normal bone development and cartilage formation. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of with adding organic Zn (alone or phytase inclusion) at the reduced dose to growing male Ross 308 chickens on somatic axis and bone tissue metabolism. 200 one-day old broilers were divided into the negative control group fed diet without Zn or phytase inclusion, positive co...

ZnO nanorods and nanodisks were synthesized by solution process using zinc chloride as starting material. The morphology of ZnO crystal changed greatly depending on the concentrations of Zn(2+) ion and ethylene glycohol (EG) additive in the solution. The effect of thermal treatment on the morphology was investigated. Photocatalytic activities of plate-like Zn(5)(OH)(8)Cl(2) . H(2)O and rod-like...

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) explodes in real-time and causes critical damage within a short period to not only electric devices, but also to national infrastructures. In terms of EMP shielding rooms, metal plate has been used due to its excellent shielding effectiveness (SE). However, it has difficulties in manufacturing, as the fabrication of welded parts of metal plates and the cost of con...

OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to isolate a fibrinolytic enzyme from the snake venom of Gloydius blomhoffii siniticus and to investigate its enzymatic characteristics and hemorrhagic activity as a potential pharmacopuncture agent. METHODS The fibrinolytic enzyme was isolated by using chromatography, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and fibrin plate assay. The c...
