The effects of dietary tin on tin and calcium metabolism were determined in eight adult males. Subjects were fed mixed diets containing 0.11 mg tin daily (control diet) and 49.67 mg tin daily (test diet) for 20 days each in a cross-over design. The level of tin in the control diet was typical of the level of tin found in diets that contained only fresh and frozen foods; the level of tin in the ...

In this investigation, Ti/TiN nanolayer and TiN single layer coatings were coated on substrate of AISI 316L stainless steel by applying physical vapor deposition (PVD) using the type of cathodic arc evaporation (CAE). The evaluation of microstructure were carried out using x-ray diffraction (XRD), nanoindentation, atomic force microscopy (AFM) as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pola...

The effect of precursors on the characteristics of tin oxide obtained by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was investigated. The synthesis of nanosized tin(IV) oxide was carried out with the use of two different precursors: tin(II) oxalate obtained using tin chloride(II) and oxalic acid; tin(II) oxalate obtained using tin chloride(II); and ammonium oxalate. The synthesized tin(IV) oxide sa...

BACKGROUND Metals are present in electronic cigarette (EC) fluid and aerosol and may present health risks to users. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to measure the amounts of tin, copper, zinc, silver, nickel and chromium in the aerosol from four brands of EC and to identify the sources of these metals by examining the elemental composition of the atomizer components. METHODS Four ...
