The protein affected in Menkes disease, ATP7A, is a copper (Cu)-transporting P-type ATPase that plays an important role in Cu homeostasis, but the full extent of this role has not been defined at a systemic level. Transgenic mice that overexpress the human ATP7A from the chicken beta-actin composite promoter (CAG) were used to further investigate the physiological function of ATP7A. Overexpress...

This paper presents a quantitative modeling for delineating alteration zones in the hypogene zone of the Miduk porphyry copper deposit (SE Iran) based on the core drilling data. The main goal of this work was to apply the Ordinary Kriging (OK), Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), and Concentration-Volume (C-V) fractal modelings on Cu grades to separate different alteration zones. Anisotropy was ...

Series of Copper Ruthenium (Cu-Ru) bimetallic catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3 with different metal loading are prepared and investigated for catalytic wet air oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen. The ammonia decomposition activity was studied at three different temperatures i.e. 150oC, 200oC, and 230 oC and it is found that catalytic activity increases with the increase in temperature along with th...

The coupling effect of interfacial reactions between two pads in Ni-SnAg-Cu and Au/Ni/Cu-SnAg-Cu solder joints was investigated in this paper. After reflow soldering, a large amount of Cu can diffuse across the solder joint to the opposite pad to form (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 IMC on the Ni pad in Ni-SnAg-Cu solder joint. A little Ni can also be detected in Cu6Sn5 layer, which contains some trapped solder, o...

OBJECTIVE PET imaging is possible with copper (Cu) isotopes, (60)Cu, (61)Cu, (62)Cu and (64)Cu. Although (62)Cu- and (64)Cu-labeled radiotracers are often used for preclinical and clinical PET studies, we do not know which radiotracers have better image quality for tumor imaging. In this study, we compare image quality between (62)Cu and (64)Cu imaging with a different acquisition mode and reco...

Festuca ovina L. is a hyperaccumulating plant which has aroused considerableinterest with respect to its possible use for phytoremediation of contaminated soils. Thisstudy has been conducted to evaluate the potentials of F. ovina L. to serve as aphytoremediation plant in the cleaning up of Cu in the polluted soils and to identifyextraction efficiency of Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) ...

Identification of the vertical and horizontal distributions for elemental grades is of an important sign in different mineral exploration stages. The main aim of this work is to determine the vertical distribution directional properties of Cu values in the Milloieh Cu porphyry deposit, Kerman (SE Iran) using the power-law frequency fractal model. This work is carried out based on four mineraliz...

Titanium nitride-Copper (TiN-Cu) nanocomposite films were deposited onto stainless steel substrate using hollow cathode discharge ion plating technique. The influence of Cu content in the range of 2-7 at.% on the microstructure, morphology and mechanical properties of deposited films were investigated. Structural properties of the films were studied by X-ray diffraction pattern. Topography of t...
