Juvenile rainbow trottt (Oncorhynchus mykiss) werc exposed to I I (control), 300 (medium), and 1000 pg Cug-r (high) (as CuSOa.5H2O) in the diet for 28 days at a daily ration of 4%o wet body weight, with a background waterborne Cu concentration of3 pg.L-|. There was no effect ofdietary Cu on growth, condition factor, or food conversion efficiency. Whole-body Cu content increased continuously ove...

In this work we investigated the surface and facet-dependent catalytic properties of metal oxide particles as well as noble metal/metal oxide heterogeneous structures, with cuprous oxide (Cu(2)O) and Au/Cu(2)O being selected as model systems. As an example of application, we explored the potential of these materials in developing electrocatalytic devices. Cu(2)O particles were synthesized in va...

The electrical resistivity r of Au, Al and Cu films prepared by thermal evaporation with thickness range from 3 to 100 nm on glass substrates were studied. The r value was measured and theoretically evaluated by the Fuchs–Sondheimer (F–S), the Mayadas–Shatzkes (M–S), and the combined models. Measured r values in Al films were about seven times minor than for Au and Cu films for the minimum (3 n...

Coinage metal atom (Cu, Ag, Au) reactions with SO2 were investigated by matrix isolation infrared absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory electronic structure calculations. Both mononuclear complexes M(η(1)-SO2) (M = Ag, Au) and M(η(2)-O2S) (M = Ag, Cu) were observed during condensation in solid argon or neon. Interestingly, the silver containing mononuclear complexes are intercon...

Strange particle production is an important experimental observable that allows the study of the strongly interacting matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The STAR experiment at RHIC has a unique capability of measuring identified strange particles over a wide range of acceptance providing a rich set of data to perform a systematic study. In addition to the data from Au+Au colli...

Reaction of RNHC(S)PPh2NPPh2C(S)NR (HRSNS; R = Me, Et) with M(I) (M = Cu, Ag, Au) salts afforded zwitterionic complexes of the general formula [M(RSNS)] (M = Cu, Ag, Au). The ligand was found in the solid state in S,S-kappa2 and S,N,S-kappa3 coordination fashions. [Cu(RSNS)] and [Ag(RSNS)] can be used as metalloligand building blocks for the assembly of pentanuclear multizwitterionic Cu5, Cu3Ag...
