pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta) on some morphological characteristics of thlaspi caerulescens l., and also on the accumulation of lead (pb) and zinc (zn) in roots and shoots of t. caerulescens l.. experiments were then set up in three treated pots with doses of 3, 6 and 9 mmol kg-1 of edta and control pots (c: uncontaminated so...

Replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) requires specific interactions of Tat protein with the trans -activation responsive region (TAR) RNA, a 59 base stem-loop structure located at the 5'-end of all HIV transcripts. We have used an intramolecular RNA self-cleaving strategy to determine the folding of TAR RNA and its interactions with a Tat peptide. We incor-porated an EDTA ...

introduction : the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of different irrigation protocols for smear layer removal on the bond strength of endosequence bc sealer, a new bioceramic sealer, to root canal dentin. materials and methods : the middle third of forty-four extracted human teeth were sectioned horizontally to obtain 128 dentin disks. after standardization of canal spaces, dentin...

In order to reduceof the amount of lead and arsenic in contaminated soil, CA(citric acid), PA(polyepoxysuccinic MA(malic acid) EDTA were used remove as chemical extractor. The experiments showed that extraction ability was EDTA>CA>MA>PA, MA>CA>PA=EDTA. eluents concentration, reaction period liquid/solid ratio key factor effect. It evident optimal condition 0.1 mol/L eluent 2h per...

AIM To determine if the formation of para-chloroaniline (PCA) can be avoided by using an alternative irrigant following sodium hypochlorite but before chlorhexidine. METHODOLOGY Fifty-five single-rooted teeth were decoronated, instrumented to size 40, .06 taper whilst being irrigated with 14% ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) and 6% NaOCl. Samples were then randomly divided into three...

One of the major problems about the chelant-enhanced phytoextraction is the potential metal leaching associated with chelant application. A glasshouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate phytoextraction efficiency of common reed (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steudel) for Lead and Chromium and to determine EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) enhancement of the mobility and phy...
