Mixed ligand complexes of bivalent metal ions, viz; Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) of the composition (ML1L2) in 1:1:1 molar ratio, (where L1=diphenylamine-2-mercapto-2’-carboxylic acid (DPMC) and L2=2-furyl glyoxalanthranilic acid (FGAA) have been synthesized and characterized by repeated melting point determination, elemental analyses, IR, H-NMR, magnetic susceptibility measurements and el...

We investigate the mechanisms of the nonmetal-metal transitions of Se and Te induced by the volume compression both in the solid and liquid states by the density functional method. The volume compression increases the band width and the system transforms from nonmetal to metal phase both in the crystalline Se and Te. When the system has structural disorder, the energy of the anti-bonding level ...

In the manufacturing industry, problem related to management of metal waste is considerable importance, since it produced in large quantities during mechanical processing.However, its recovery not always a simple task, especially with regard cutting processes. fact, due presence surface oxide and contaminating oily residues, process these components often very expensive polluting. This can be s...

Aluminum nanocontact conductance histograms are studied experimentally from room temperature up to near the bulk melting point. The dominant stable configurations for this metal show a very early crossover from shell structures at low wire diameters to ionic subshell structures at larger diameters. At these larger radii, the favorable structures are temperature-independent and consistent with t...

In this article, a 3D finite element simulation of a material accumulation process based on rod end and blank end melting is discussed. This process represents the first step of a two-level cold forming process in microrange and can be modeled mathematically by coupling the Stefan problem with the Navier-Stokes equations including a free capillary surface. Numerical results for melting the tip ...

We report the thermal stability of wild type (WT) and 14 different variants of human copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Multiple endothermic unfolding transitions were observed by differential scanning calorimetry for partially metallated SOD1 enzymes isolated from a baculovirus system. We correlated the metal ion contents of S...
