The determination of dislocation distribution parameters is discussed for specimens where both strain broadening caused by dislocations and size broadening occur. If the strain broadening is well described by a model due to Wilkens, several methods are possible for the analysis of the broadening of diffraction lines. In sputter deposited nickel layers, three different methods for diffraction li...

Sea-water samples collected by a variety of clean sampling techniques yielded consistent results for copper, cadmium, zinc, and nickel, which implies that representative, uncontaminated samples were obtained. A dithiocarbamate extraction method coupled with atomic absorption spectrometry and electro,thermal atomization is described which is essentially 100% quantitative for each of the four met...

A Pt microelectrode modified with nickel(II) polytetramethyldibenzo[b,i]tetraaza[14]annulene was prepared by electropolymerization of nickel(II) tetramethyldibenzo[b,i]tetraaza[14]annulene monomers and applied to determine sulfur dioxide in vitriol plant wastewater. For determination of SO2 with this electrochemically modified Pt microelectrode, the linear range was from 9.6 x 10(-6) to 2.4 x 1...

Cyclohexylidine-ammonium-2-aminocyclohexyline-l-cyclohexee-l- dithiocarboxylate (CCCD) is employed for the gravimetric determination of Ni (II). In neutral or ammoniacal solutions, the metal forms a violet precipitate with the reagent which can be weighed as Ni (C13H18NS2)a2f ter drying at 115 - 120?C Using this procedure, the nickel content of steel samples can also be determined accurate...

A method for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of the divalent ions of iron, cobalt, nickel and copper based on the formation of their complexes with 1,5-bis(di-2-pyridylmethylene) thiocarbonohydrazide (DPTH) is proposed. The resolution of quaternary mixtures of these metallic ions was accomplished by several chemometric approaches. A comparative study of the results obtained fo...

An environmentally safe procedure has been developed for the extraction, separation and determination of metal ions using a monosegmented flow analysis technique that exploits an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS-MSFA). The ATPS-MSFA method was applied for the determination of cobalt, based on the reaction between Co(II) and KSCN, which produces a metallic complex that spontaneously partitions to...

A systematic study of the efficiency of protons, Ni, Pd and Th as chemical modifiers for the determination of cadmium by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) using fast temperature programs was made for platform atomization. A comparison was made in terms of the salt type, absorbance-time profiles and elimination of the sodium chloride interference. The results were adapted to ...

Larval dorsoventral (DV) and left-right (LR) axial patterning unfold progressively in sea urchin development, leading to commitment of the major embryonic regions by the gastrula stage. The direct-developing sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma has lost oral-aboral differentiation along the DV axis but has accelerated vestibular ectoderm development on the left side. NiCl(2) radializes indirec...

: A rapid, simple,sensitive and selective direct spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of nickel(II) in various real samples. 5-Bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzaldehyde-p-hydroxybenzoic hydrazone reacts with Ni(II) forming green coloured soluble complex [ ( Ni(II)-5-BHMBHBH] in basic buffer solution. The maximum absorbance was observed in the pH range 5.5-7.5 and Ni(I...
