the interaction of copper oxide nanoparticles and copper ions and proteinase k from tritirachium album limber has been investigated employing uv spectroscopy and kinetics measurements. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nanoparticles of cuo for proteinase k. in this paper we compare the effect of copper oxide nanoparticles with the effect of copper ions on proteinase k stabilit...

background: a great deal of evidence has indicated that oxidatively modified ldl plays a critical role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. antioxidants that can prevent ldl oxidation may act as antiatherogens. copper is a candidate for oxidizing ldl in atherosclerotic lesions. the binding of copper ions to ldl is usually thought to be a prerequisite for ldl oxidation by copper...

this study aims to estimate the function of copper consumption using the johansen approach in time series data, between 1991-2011 in iran. the literature review of specialized consumption and demand functions shows factors influencing the consumption of copper including copper price variables, aluminum price as a substitute commodity, oil price as a complementary commodity, and industrializatio...

dissolved nitrogen predispersed solvent extraction (dnpdse) is a new method devised for improving the performance of equipment utilized in the solvent extraction (sx) method, especially for dilute solutions. in this method, for mixing the two phases, bubble dispersion of the organic phase (colloidal gas aphrons [cgas]) is used instead of its drop dispersion in the aqueous phase. through increas...

background: this study aims to investigate the patterns of bioaccumulation and depuration of copper in the selected kidney and liver of capoeta fusca. methods: the fish were collected between september and november 2010 from a qanat in birjand. they were exposed to two types treatments with copper (0.25 and 0.75 mg/l) for a period of 41 days. the fish under study were exposed to the above-menti...

Tribochemical reactions frequently are decisive for friction and wear. In article number 2001673 by Christian Greiner co-workers, such investigated between copper its oxides in contact with sapphire. The authors find that freshly formed beneficial reducing friction, especially as sliding progresses. Sliding even provides enough energy a reduction of oxide to metallic copper.

Interaction between 5 lm thick copper and 50 nm thin titanium films was investigated as a function of annealing temperature and time using MeV He Rutherford backscattering, X-ray diffraction and dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry. Samples were made by depositing 10 nm of titanium on a PECVD silicon oxynitride, followed by 50 nm of titanium nitride and 50 nm of titanium in the said order. I...

The effects of iron deficiency on the levels of iron, copper, zinc and magnesium in the brain, liver, kidney, heart and lungs of albino rats (Rattus novergicus) was investigated. Forty rats were divided into two groups and the first group was fed a control diet containing 1.09g iron/kg diet while the test group was fed diet containing 9ppm iron/kg diet. Tissue iron level reduced in all the diet...
