stable isotope analysis, being used in many research areas, has also been applied in archaeology during the last three decades to address questions regarding the paleoclimatology and ancient diet, mobility and migration. despite the growing number of the application of stable isotope analysis in archaeological studies, there is a very few research in this regard in archaeology of iran. this res...

a new simple and rapid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction has been applied to preconcentrate tracelevels of zinc as a prior step to its determination by spectrophotometric method. in the proposed method, 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol (par) is used as a chelating agent, and chloroform and ethanol are selected asextraction and dispersive solvent. the optimization strategy is carried out by us...

today many countries have water shortage problems, so most of them compel to resort to desalination processes. this paper describes the effect of indirect contact freezing by external cooling for desalination of seawater and brackish water. although various types of processes are introduced for desalination and such processes as reverse osmosis (ro) and multi-effect distillation (med) are used ...

Trace measurements of the element chromium (Cr) are of interest in a wide range of applications and matrices. In the environment, Cr exists in two different oxidation states, the trivalent Cr(III) cation and hexavalent Cr(VI) anion. In mammals, Cr(III) is an essential element involved in the regulation of glucose; however, the element in its hexavalent form demonstrates mutagenic and carcinogen...
