The nickel-containing enzymes of Helicobacter pylori, urease and hydrogenase, are essential for efficient colonization in the human stomach. The insertion of nickel into urease and hydrogenase is mediated by the accessory protein HypA. HypA contains an N-terminal nickel-binding site and a dynamic structural zinc-binding site. The coordination of nickel and zinc within HypA is known to be critic...

The primary objective of the current study was the investigation of the influence of zinc asparaginate supplementation for 7 and 14 days on toxic metal and metalloid content in rat organs and tissues. Rats obtained zinc asparaginate in doses of 5 and 15 mg/kg/day for 7 and 14 days. At the end of the experiment rat tissues and organs (liver, kidney, heart, m. gastrocnemius, serum, and hair) were...

Superparamagnetic single phase zinc ferrite nanoparticles have been prepared by coprecipitation method at 20 °C without any subsequent calcination. The composition, crystallite size, microstructure and magnetic properties of the prepared nanoparticles were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM)...

Background: Mn-Zn ferrites have drawn a continuously an increasing interest because of their potential applications as multifunctional devices. These materials simultaneously exhibit ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism. The dielectric and leakage current properties of Cobalt substituted Mn-Zn ferrites coated with oleic acid were not reported. Methods: This paper presents the synthesis, electric...

Palladium supported on nickel ferrite (Pd/NiF(2)O(4)) was found to be a highly active catalyst for the Suzuki coupling reaction between various aryl halides and arylboronic acids. The reaction gave excellent yields (70-98%) under ligand free conditions in a 1:1 DMF/H(2)O solvent mixture, in short reaction times (10-60 min). The catalyst could be recovered easily by applying an external magnetic...

Degenerative histopathalogical alterations were seen in liver due to chronic exposure of the fish, Labeo rohita to chlorides of chromium, nickel and zinc for 30 days. However, more severe degenerative changes were observed in case of zinc chloride exposed fish than nickel chloride and chromium chloride treated fishes, indicating more toxic nature of zinc chloride. There were enlarged nuclei, co...

The title compound, PHZ, can be viewed as 1,5-diazacyclooctane (daco) having carbon-3 and carbon-7 fused to benzene rings restricting the vibrational freedom of these carbons and rendering the axial positions in the complexes open for fifth and sixth coordination. Copper(II), nickel(H) and zinc(H) complexes of P H Z have been prepared. Copper(II) formed monoand bis-complexes, whereas nickel(H) ...

Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) are a type of resistor with significantly nonlinear current-voltage characteristics commonly used in power lines to protect against overvoltages. If a proper recycling plan is developed MOVs can be an excellent source of secondary zinc because they contain over 90 weight percent zinc oxide. The oxides of antimony, bismuth, and to a lesser degree cobalt, manganese, a...

Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) offer compact, low-cost, all solid-state high-power microwave (HPM) generation. This article experimentally investigates the RF output power for composite-based 10, 25, and 50 Ω NLTLs used as a combined pulse forming line HPM source. We manufactured coaxial containing 10% barium strontium titanate 15% nickel zinc ferrite encased in polydimethylsiloxane. The ...
