background: proton induced x-ray emission (pixe) has been applied as reliable and improved techniques in this study to compare concentration of various trace elements in normal and abnormal varicose veins. materials and methods: five samples from normal veins and 13 samples from varicose veins bombarded by 2.0 mev energy proton beams produced by a van de graff accelerator in vacuum. two specime...

apart from the breast milk, infant formula and baby weaning food have a special role in infant diet. infants and young children are very susceptible to amount of trace elements. copper and zinc are two elements that add in infant food. lead and cadmium are heavy metals that enter to food chain unavoidably. dpasv is a benefit and applicable method for measurement of trace elements in food produc...

This research aims to monitor the trace elements content (Cr, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ag, Al, Mn, Mg, Zn and Fe) in the tissues of the muscle and liver of silver carp (H. molitrix ) and stone moroko (P. parva) from Zarivar Wetland in western Iran. This research was cross-sectional. The research specimen was fish caught from Zarivar Wetland. Metal concentration analysis was carried out utilizing an ICP. Fin...

background: the method of proton induced x-ray emission (pixe) has been widely used as a sensitive technique to trace elemental analysis in both biological and medical fields. the sensitivity of this powerful method is in the order of ppm .the aim of this work is to analyze structural composition of 4 heavy trace elements with z greater than 24 (mn, fe, cu, zn) in two kinds of gallstones and to...

in order to investigate the effect of mycorrhizal fungi and phosphorus fertilizer on concentration of leaf nutrients and photosynthetic pigments of bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) in condition of irrigation with saline water, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse of bahonar university of kerman, iran during 2010. the studied factors...

in this research, elemental and chemical characteristics of atmospheric dust particulates including major and trace elements in two synoptic meteorological stations (abadan and urmia cities) during dust events and ambient periods have been evaluated. results showed that during dust events to ambient periods in both stations, major elements including ca, mg, al and trace elements comprised p and...
