A two dimensionally assembled monolayer of hexagonal convexo-convex β-cobalt hydroxide nanoplates as a self-disposable sacrificial epi-template leads to a highly vertical alignment of zinc oxide nanorods array having a good electrical contact with metal or semiconductor layer on a substrate in a hydrothermal process.

In this work, a comparison of the blood biochemical and mineral profile of anestrus buffaloes with those of regular cyclic animals was made. There was significant reduction (P<0.01) in the total cholesterol and phosphorus levels in anestrus state. However, blood glucose, HDLcholesterol, triglycerides, calcium, copper, cobalt, manganese and zinc levels did not differ between anetrus and regular ...

The province of Nova Scotia is considered to have two moose (Alces alces) populations. In 2003, the moose of the mainland area of the province were formally listed “ENDANGERED” under the Nova Scotia Endangered Species Act. To date, the specific causes of the Mainland moose population decline have not been determined. Trace element imbalances have been considered as a potential etiology for the ...

The aim of this study was to the structure, morphology, magnetic, and magnetorheological properties cobalt cobalt-zinc ferrite powders be used as a functional component fluids. Ferrites CoFe2O4 Co0.65Zn0.35Fe2O4 were obtained by combined hydrolysis inorganic metal salt in aqueous solutions followed thermal treatment precipitates. ferrites studied means X-ray phase analysis, scanning electron mi...

Protoporphyrin IX ferrochelatase (EC 4.99.1.1) catalyzes the terminal step in the heme biosynthetic pathway, the insertion of ferrous iron into protoporphyrin IX. Ferrochelatase shows specificity, in vitro, for multiple metal ion substrates and exhibits substrate inhibition in the case of zinc, copper, cobalt, and nickel. Zinc is the most biologically significant of these; when iron is depleted...

BACKGROUND In Indian traditional system of medicine Celastrus paniculatus extract has been used to improve intellect, memory and for the treatment of various mental disorders. PURPOSE The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of this medicinal plant on serum biochemistry. METHODS Ethanolic extract of seed of Celastrus paniculatus (2g/kg/body weight) was orally administr...

INTRODUCTION An analysis of lead, zinc, cadmium and other trace elements in semen of men from infertile couples was performed to determine the association between abnormal semen parameters and enviromental or occupational exposure to some trace metals. MATERIAL AND METHODS Presence of manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, molybdenum, cadmium, tin and lead was measured in seminal plasma of ...

Electrodeposited zinc alloys have long been recognised as effective barrier and sacrificial coatings for ferrous substrates. The effect of alloying zinc with, in the main, more noble metals, has produced finishes of higher corrosion resistance than simply electrodeposited zinc. In this manner zinc alloys such as zinc-nickel, zinc-cobalt and zinc-iron are routinely electrodeposited on an industr...

We present evidence demonstrating the capability of Phaeocystis antarctica colonies to substitute cobalt (Co) and zinc (Zn) as micronutrients, in which Co limitation is alleviated by additions of Zn and vice versa. Maximal growth rates and biomass were determined by fluorescence and the values obtained under replete Zn and no added Co conditions were significantly higher than under replete Co a...
