We developed two-step solution-phase reactions to form hybrid materials of Mn(3)O(4) nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets for lithium ion battery applications. Selective growth of Mn(3)O(4) nanoparticles on RGO sheets, in contrast to free particle growth in solution, allowed for the electrically insulating Mn(3)O(4) nanoparticles to be wired up to a current collector through the...

In the present study we examined the effects of prenatal manganese (Mn) intoxication on [(3)H]glucose uptake in the brain of rats lesioned as neonates with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). MnCl(2) . 4H(2)O (10,000 ppm) was added to the drinking water of pregnant Wistar rats for the duration of pregnancy. On the day of parturition, Mn was discontinued as an additive to the drinking water. The control...

The title compound [Mn(6)(C(7)H(4)NO(3))(5)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)(C(5)H(8)N(2))(4)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)]·(C(2)H(5))(2)O·C(3)H(7)NO·CH(3)OH·0.12H(2)O, abbreviated as Mn(II)(OAc)(2)[15-MC(MnIII(N)shi)-5](EtIm)4(DMF)2·diethyl ether·DMF·MeOH·0.12H(2)O (where (-)OAc is acetate, MC is metallacrown, shi(3-) is salicylhydroximate, EtIM is n-ethylimidazole, DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide, and MeOH is methanol) contain...

BACKGROUND Manganese (Mn) is widely used in industries including the manufacture of Mn-iron (Fe) alloy. Occupational Mn overexposure causes manganism. Mn is known to affect Fe metabolism; this study was designed to test the hypothesis that workers exposed to Mn may have an altered expression of mRNAs encoding proteins in Fe metabolism. METHODS Workers occupationally exposed to Mn (n = 71) fro...

These studies were designed to determine the relative bioavailability and tolerance of tribasic Mn chloride (TBMC) for growing broiler chickens. In experiment 1, birds were fed a basal diet (starter, 102 ppm; grower, 209 ppm) or the basal diet supplemented with 3,600, 4,500, or 5,400 ppm Mn from either TBMC or manganese sulfate (MnSO(4)), and BW, feed intake, and plasma Mn were measured. In exp...

CONTEXT Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element but is neurotoxic at high doses. Showering with Mn-laden water has never been evaluated as a central nervous system (CNS) delivery vector for Mn, even though intranasally administered Mn in laboratory animals circumvents the blood-brain barrier and passes directly into the brain via olfactory pathways. OBJECTIVE To review the literature on ...

The syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties are reported for three new Ce/Mn clusters with different Ce/Mn ratios: [Ce6Mn4O12(O2CMe)10(NO3)4(py)4] (py = pyridine) (1), [CeMn8O8(O2CCH2(t)Bu)12(DMF)14] (DMF = dimethylformamide) (2), and [Ce2Mn4O2(O2CMe)6(NO3)4(hmp)4] (3; hmp(-) is the anion of 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine). 1 and 2 were obtained from the reaction of Ce(IV) with [Mn12O12(O2CMe...

ZnNi0.5Mn0.5CoO4@C with a spinel structure was made via sol–gel and high-temperature sintering process exhibits excellent electrochemical performance due to reversible multivalence redox transitions (Co4+/Co3+, Ni4+/Ni3+/Ni2+, Mn4+/Mn3+).

Mixed-valent manganese phosphonate clusters [Mn(II)(8)Mn(III)(2)O(2)(O(3)PC(10)H(7))(4)(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(10)(py)(4)(H(2)O)(2)] (1) and [Mn(II)(4)Mn(III)(9)O(4)(OH)(2)(O(3)PC(10)H(7))(10)(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(5)(py)(8)(H(2)O)(6)] (2) are reported. Compound 1 is the first example of manganese phosphonate clusters prepared through a microwave-assisted technique. While compound 2 is obtained under ambient ...

Scheme 2: Σ(M) = (σ(1 ◦m1), σ(2 ◦m2), . . . , σ(n ◦mn)), where each index i is represented using dlog2(n+ 1)e bits. 3. Choose the smallest n such that d2 log2(n+ 1) + |M | n e ≤ k. (Assume that |M | is small enough and k is large enough to make this is possible.) Then break M up into M = m1 ◦ . . . ◦mn, where each mi is such that |mi| = k − d2log2(n+ 1)e, and mn is padded with 0s as necessary. ...
