this study focus on the preparation of two supports including activated carbon derived from medlar and palladium nanoparticles loaded on activated carbon (pd-np-ac). subsequently, both adsorbent modified with a novel schiff base chelating agent and their potential applicability for determination of trace amounts of metal ions from aqueous solution has been investigated. the method is based on c...

the present study appraised the hepatoprotective activity of aqueous extract of camellia sinensis leaves and its possible mechanism of action against carbon-tetrachloride-induced liver damage. liver damage was induced by   intraperitoneal administration of equal mixture of carbon tetrachloride   and olive oil (50 % v/v, 0.5 ml/kg ) in male wistar rats (150-220g) once daily for 7 days and the ex...

in lb is research, adsorption of some amino acids and their complenation with manganese (ii) ion on carbonnanotube (mwcnt) by using of four relations langmuir, freundlich. temkin and harkins -jura imitherms wasinvestigated. from this relations. freudlich and temkin relations predict good equilibrium diagram in, isothermcondition. we could compute the theoretical constants by excel software. hy ...

the quantitative performance of wheat crop under 1-5 year old poplar plantations in irrigated agro-ecosystem was studied to ascertain the biological yield of tree and crop. results revealed that growth and yield of wheat decreased significantly with the increase in poplar age. the per cent reduction in net grain yield was 17% under one year old poplar plantation, which increased to 52.15% under...

carbon sequestration in soil, leaf and litter of three tree species, viz. eucalyptuscamaldulensis, prosopisjuliflora and ziziphus spina-christi, plantation was investigated in the dehloran city, iran. results showed that the amount of sequestered c in leaf, litter and soil was significantly different among these species. the highest amount of sequestrated c was in leaf and the lowest amount in ...

hydrogel nanocomposites based on alginate polysaccharide were prepared by graft copolymerization of acrylamide and itaconic acid in the presence of carbon nanotube, using methylene bisacrylamide and ammonium persulfate as crosslinker and initiator, respectively. the synthesized samples were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. the ...

chemical vapor deposition (cvd) is one of the most popular methods for producing carbon nanotubes (cnts). the growth rate of cnts based on cvd technique is investigated by using a numerical model based on finite volume method. inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as carrier gas enters into a horizontal cvd reactor at atmospheric pressure. in thi...

isolated carbon nanotubes (cnts), cnt films and cnt-polymer nanocomposites are a new generation of materials with outstanding mechanical, thermal, electrical and electromagnetic properties. the main objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive review on the investigations performed in the field of characterizing electrical and electromagnetic properties of isolated cnts and cnt-reinf...

multifunctional nanomaterials showed graet advantages in drug delivery. folic acid (fa) binding protein, a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol anchored cell surface receptor for folate, is overexpressed in several human tumors, whereas it is highly restricted in normal tissues. therefore, in this study, fa, polyethylene glycol (peg), and fe3o4 nanoparticles multifunctionalized short multiwall carbon...

carbon monoxide (co) poisoning, though with different sources, is one of the most deadly emergencies in all countries. co can threaten men's life by several paths especially cardiac complications, which can mimic other cardiac problems such as myocardial infarction. the objective of this study was to determine ecg findings and serum troponin i levels in co poisoned patients. in this analytical ...
