Brady, Todd C., James D. Crapo, and Robert R. Mercer. Nitric oxide inhalation transiently elevates pulmonary levels of cGMP, iNOS mRNA, and TNF-a. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 19): L509–L515, 1998.— The initial pulmonary vasodilation that occurs during nitric oxide (zNO) inhalation does not appear to be maintained chronically in many cases. zNO may acutely relax vascular smooth...

The electrical conductance response of single ZnO microwire functionalized with amine-groups was tested upon an acid pH variation of a solution environment after integration on a customized gold electrode array chip. ZnO microwires were easily synthesized by hydrothermal route and chemically functionalized with aminopropyl groups. Single wires were deposited from the solution and then oriented ...

Electrochemical oxidation of serotonin (SN) onto zinc oxide (ZnO)-coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) results in the generation of redox mediators (RMs) that are strongly adsorbed on electrode surface. The electrochemical properties of zinc oxide-electrogenerated redox mediator (ZnO/RM) (inorganic/organic) hybrid film-coated electrode has been studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The scannin...

Since the first report of ultraviolet lasing from ZnO nanowires, substantial effort has been devoted to the development of synthetic methodologies for one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures. Among the various techniques described in the literature, evaporation and condensation processes are favored for their simplicity and high-quality products, but these gas-phase approaches generally require econ...

Photocatalytic reactions occur at the crystal-solution interface, and hence specific crystal facet expression and surface defects can play an important role. Here we investigate the structure-related photoreduction at zinc oxide (ZnO) microparticles via integrated light and electron microscopy in combination with silver metal photodeposition. This enables a direct visualization of the photoredu...

Numerous applications in optoelectronics require electrically conducting materials with high optical transparency over the entire visible light range. A solid solution of indium oxide and substantial amounts of tin oxide for electronic doping (ITO) is currently the most prominent example for the class of so-called TCOs (transparent conducting oxides). Due to the limited, natural occurrence of i...

page 156 Abstract: The goal of this research is to fabricate a low cost and efficient solid state solar cell by coupling zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods with a conjugated polymer of regio-regular poly(3-hexylthiopene) (P3HT). ZnO structures were grown onto FTO/nc-ZnO substrates through either hydrothermal solution phase or by electrodeposition and resulted in different morphologies depending on the g...

Pectin–ZnO nanocomposite was prepared in the aqueous solution condition at room temperature. The Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscope (TEM) measurements confirmed the nanoscaled structure of pectin–ZnO composite. According to the TEM observation, the average composite granules size was about 150 nm and the embedded ZnO nanoparticles were uniform wi...

in this work, magnetically separable zno-znfe2o4-ppy nanocomposite as an efficient adsorbent was synthesized by two steps. at first, zinc oxide (zno) and znfe2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized using simple and facile precipitation method. then, zno-znfe2o4 mixed oxide was modified by polypyrrole (ppy). the adsorbent was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir...
