Background: The nature of asymmetric fission preactinides is not yet understood in detail, despite intense experimental and theoretical studies carried out at present.Purpose: study symmetric $^{180,182,183}\mathrm{Hg}$ $^{178}\mathrm{Pt}$ nuclei as a function their excitation energy isospin.Methods: Mass-energy distributions fragments $^{180}\mathrm{Hg}, ^{178}\mathrm{Pt}$ (two protons less th...

Abstract Purpose The extensive Hg contamination in soil and sediments occurring along the Paglia River (Central Italy) is result of interplay between geomorphological changes river anthropic activities, primarily associated to exploitation Hg-deposits "The Monte Amiata mining district" (MAMD). present study determines implications morphological that occurred last 200 years on distribution flood...

The present study investigates the effect of β-hemihydrate gypsum (HG) dosages on mechanical and microstructural performance cemented paste backfill (CPB) produced from sulphide-rich mine tailings using NaOH-activated slag (NAS) as major binder. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) analyses were carried out to elucidate mineralogical co...

Abstract Background The effects of vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonist paricalcitol on the podocyte injury induced by high glucose (HG) were investigated in conditioned immortalized mouse podocytes (MPC-5). Methods (1) Grouped according to different concentrations: normal group (NG): 5.6 mmol/L glucose; HG stimulation group: 25 (25HG); osmotic control (NG+M): + 19.4 D-mannitol. expression levels V...

Mercury (Hg) records in sediment archives inform past patterns of Hg deposition and the anthropogenic contribution to global cycling. Natural climate variations complicate interpretation accumulation rates (HgARs), warranting additional research. Here, we investigated stable isotopes a ca. 8k year-long core Lake Titicaca combined isotopic data with organic biomarkers biogeochemical measurements...

Mass-independent fractionation (MIF) of stable even mass number mercury (Hg) isotopes is observed in rainfall and gaseous elemental Hg0 globally used to quantify atmospheric Hg deposition pathways. The chemical reaction underlying even-Hg MIF mechanism are unknown however speculated be caused by photo-oxidation on aerosols at the tropopause. Here, we investigate isotope composition free troposp...

In N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced colon cancer modeling in rats, it was aimed to evaluate the regressive effect of grayanotoxin-rich Turkish mad honey and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), separately together. Study groups were control group (CG), (CCG), 5-Flourouracil (FUG), (HG), 5-FU combined (FU-HG). WBC, lymphocyte, eosinophil, basophil, serum LDH, TOS, total protein values determined rats CCG ...

the concentrations of heavy metals, mn, zn, fe and hg were determined in sediments and in the whole soft tissue of the clam galatea paradoxa from two clam fishing locations, ada and aveglo at the volta estuary in ghana from march to september 2008. thirty clams were obtained from each sampling location monthly and grouped into three size classes of 10 individuals each based on shell lengths as ...
