This paper discusses the effects of sodium hypophosphite concentration, pH and temperature on deposition rate. This paper also discusses the evaluation of coating strength, surface and subsurface by varying the bath parameters, percentage of phosphate, plating temperature and pH of the plating solution. Taguchi technique has been used for the analysis. In the experiment, Nickel chloride which i...

The soils of the Kingiseppsky district Leningrad region were studied in zone influence production phosphorus fertilizers at a distance up to 5 km from pollution source. In 43 soil samples, total content and mobile forms heavy metals, sulfur, fluorine, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, carbon, actual potential acidity determined. Three types territories have been identified – conditionally backgro...

Mitochondria are important targets of metal toxicity and are also vital for maintaining metal homeostasis. Here, we examined the potential role of mitochondria in homeostasis of nickel in the roots of nickel hyperaccumulator plant Alyssum murale. We evaluated the biochemical basis of nickel tolerance by comparing the role of mitochondria in closely related nickel hyperaccumulator A. murale and ...

The relative toxicity and carcinogenicity of nickel sulfate hexahydrate (NiSO4.6H2O), nickel subsulfide (Ni3S2), and nickel oxide (NiO) were studied in F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice after inhalation exposure for 6 h/day, 5 days/week for 2 years. Nickel subsulfide (0.15 and 1 mg/m3) and nickel oxide (1.25 and 2.5 mg/m3) caused an exposure-related increased incidence of alveolar/bronchiolar neoplas...

Using data from published studies, lung concentrations of nickel were compare for persons with and without occupational exposure to nickel. As expected, the concentrations were much higher for persons with occupational exposure. To estimate the effects of nickel-containing tobacco smoke and nickel in the ambient air on the amount of nickel accumulated in lungs over time, a model was derived tha...

Green protocols for the synthesis of nanoparticles have been attracting a lot of attention because they are eco-friendly, rapid, and cost-effective. Nickel and nickel oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by green routes and characterized for impact of green chemistry on the properties and biological effects of nanoparticles in the last five years. Green synthesis, properties, and applicati...

ofcells to carcinogenic nickel compounds induces many genes that are commonly expressed in cancer cells but not in normal cells. Nickel compounds have been well established as human carcinogens. Investigations into the molecular mechanisms of nickel car-cinogenesis have revealed that not all nickel compounds are equally carcinogenic: certain water-insoluble nickel compounds exhibit potent carci...

Natural-fibre-reinforced polymer composites are most commonly employed in the automotive, aerospace and structural industries. This research focuses on synthesis analysis of dynamic properties a bamboo fibre used with polyester matrix nanocomposite produced titanium oxide nanoparticles. Bamboo-fibre samples were prepared using electroless plating method both their uncoated nickel-phosphorus-coa...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Nickel is one of the most prevalent causes of contact allergy in the general population. This study focuses on human exposure to airborne nickel and its potential to induce allergic sensitization. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group consisted of 309 children at school-starter age living in the West of Germany in the vicinity of two industrial sources and in a rural ...

Nickel acquisition is necessary for urease activity, a major virulence factor of the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. NixA was identified as a specific nickel uptake system in this organism. Addition of small amounts of nickel to media strongly stimulates urea hydrolysis. On the other hand, high nickel concentrations are deleterious to cell growth. As a possible protective reaction, ...
