objective(s): this study aimed to determine the possible toxicity of cuo nanoparticles (nps) on oncorhynchus mykiss by evaluating hematological parameters.materials and methods: fish were sampled and treated in 4 aquariums containing the concentration ranges of 1, 5, 20 and 100 ppm of cuo nps. there was one control group (no cuo nps) and three replicates. the physicochemical properties of water...

Members of the ubiquitous COX11 (cytochrome c oxidase 11) protein family are involved in copper delivery to the COX complex. In this work, we characterize the Arabidopsis thaliana COX11 homolog (encoded by locus At1g02410). Western blot analyses and confocal microscopy identified Arabidopsis COX11 as an integral mitochondrial protein. Despite sharing high sequence and structural similarities, t...

The corrosion protection abilities of modified copper in 2-[((Z)-1-{6- [(2-sulfanylphenyl)ethanimidoyl]-2-pyridyl}ethylidene)  amino]-1- benzenthiol solution containing TiO2 nanoparticles were evaluated by Tafel  polarization  and  impedance  spectroscopy  in  3.5%  sodium chloride  solution.  The  samples  were  characterized  by  energy dispersive  X-ray  (EDX)  and  scanning  electron  mi...

In this paper, Chitosan-copper nanoparticles were successfully coated onto the Kraft paperusing a dip coating process. First, chitosan-copper nanoparticles solution was prepared byreduction method and the use of ultrasonic radiation. It was employed copper sulphate pentahydrateas precursor salt, NaOH as a reducing agent and Chitosan as capping agent to prepareChitosan-copper nanoparticles solut...

BACKGROUND Small metal nanoparticles obtained from animal blood were observed to be toxic to cultured cancer cells, whereas noncancerous cells were much less affected. In this work, engineered zinc and copper metal nanoparticles were produced from bulk metal rods by an underwater high-voltage discharge method. The metal nanoparticles were characterized by atomic force microscopy and X-ray photo...

The aim of this work was to study the effect of copper (Cu) and/or cadmium (Cd) on grain germination and anatomical structure of Maize (Zea mays cv. Giza 2) seedling. The results indicated that Cu and/or Cd caused reduced the grain germination indices (FGP final germination percentage, MDG mean daily germination, GI germination index and CVG coefficient of velocity of germination), root anatomi...

In this study, the behavior of nanoparticles using a numerical model is discussed. For this study a model for the expansion in free convection heat transfer and mix in a rectangular container with dimensions of 1 × 4 cm using Nano-aerosols in the air is going when copper nanoparticles, use and by changing the temperature difference between hot and cold wall, we will examine its impact on the ra...

Nanocomposites based on TiO2-supported copper nanoparticles were prepared by a hydrothermal method where copper nanoparticles with or without the passivation of 1-decyne were chemically grown onto TiO2 nanocolloid surfaces (and hence denoted as CuHC10/TiO2 and Cu/TiO2, respectively). Transmission electron microscopy measurements showed that the size of the hybrid nanoparticles was 5-15 nm in di...
