a new approach for the synthesis of prussian blue nanoparticles using the cationic surfactant cetyl pyridinium chloride (cpc) as capping agent has been developed in the present work. powder x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, uv–vis absorption spectra, and ir spectroscopy were employed to characterize the product. the tem image showed that the prussian blue nanoparticles with d...

gamma-rays emitted from the ground surface relate to the primary mineralogy and geochemistryof the bedrock, and the secondary weathered materials. this information can contribute significantly to anunderstanding of the geochemical and pedogenetic history of a region. the main aim of this paper was to study the relationship between ground gamma-ray data and basement geochemistry in the lese catc...

methods retrospective cohort study of blunt trauma patients with rib fractures at a level i trauma center that had both a cxr and a ct chest. the ct finding of ≥ 3 additional fractures in patients with ≤ 3 rib fractures on cxr was considered clinically meaningful. student’s t-test and chi-square analysis were used for comparison. results we identified 499 patients with rib fractures: 93 (18.6%)...

the x-ray charge density analysis of a hydroxynaphthoquinnne derivative was obtained by multipolar hansen-coppens formalism refinement through high resolution x-ray diffraction data at 100(1) k. the molecularproperties of the title compound resulted from the combined experimental and the quantum theory of atoms inmolecules (qtaim) studies. the topological properties of the covalent bonds and of...

the preparation of nano-sized tio2 by titanium tetraisopropoxide (ti(oipr)4) via sol-gelmethod using acid as a catalyst is investigated and the optimized conditions concerning theproportional amount of acid, water, alcohol is established by xrd and sem. the effect ofcalcination temperature on phase transformation of tio2 (rutile, anatase and brookite) wasdetermined by xrd. the smallest grain si...

nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite was precipitated from calcium hydroxide and phosphoric acid. effects of precipitation temperature and different calcium to phosphate ratios (ca/p) on the obtained powders were investigated. characteriza-tion of the powders was performed using xrd and ftir spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. increase in precipitation tempera...
