In this research, nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles (NFNs) are prepared through coprecipitation method, and applied for adsorption removal of a model organic pollutant, methyl orange (MO). The characterization of t...

Future improvements to jet engine performance will require materials which are lower in density and can withstand higher temperatures; thus increasing the thrust-to-weight ratio and the engine efficiency. The intermetallic compound IB-NiA1 is a prime candidate for this new high temperature material. This intermetallic offers a low density, a high melting temperatme, and excellent oxidation resi...

Thin film architectures with brittle and ductile material layers are often combined for functionality. Easy to fracture films necessary due their function as diffusion barriers, adhesion or protective layers. Especially in the field of flexible wearable electronics materials may cause short lifetimes. Direct current magnetron sputtered bilayers on a polyimide substrate containing Mo Al (Al/Mo/P...

The Bolesław-Bukowno mining area in Poland is highly polluted by elements such as Zn, Pb, Cd and As. The reactivity and mobility of toxic elements such as Tl are poorly known. Here, we studied by sequential extraction the mobility of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Pb, Tl and Zn in sediments from two water reservoirs near Bukowno. Results show that available As, Co, Mn, Pb and Zn are found in carbo...

A spectrophotometric method has been developed for the quantitative determination of antioxidant capacity. The assay is based on the reduction of Mo(VI) to Mo(V) by the sample analyte and the subsequent formation of a green phosphate/Mo(V) complex at acidic pH. The method has been optimized and characterized with respect to linearity interval, repetitivity and reproducibility, and molar absorpt...

An extensive study of Higher Alcohols Synthesis (HAS) from syngas using alkalized MoS2 catalysts supported on Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) is reported. Up to 30wt.% of Mo and 8wt.% K are added to the CNTs by impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by different methods and the performance of the catalysts was assessed in a micro-reactor. TEM images showed that mo...

the purpose of the present study was to evaluate anti-nociceptive effects of morphine, tramadol, meloxicam and their combinations in rats. seventy male wistar rats were divided into seven equal groups and randomly assigned to receive intraperitoneal saline (s) (control group, 1.0 ml kg-1), morphine (mo) (4.0 mg kg-1), tramadol (tr) (12.5 mg kg-1), meloxicam (ml) (1.0 mg kg-1), tramadol- morphin...

We study the price dynamics in a multi-agent economy consisting of buyers and competing sellers, where each seller has limited information about its competitors’ prices. In this economy, buyers use shopbots while the sellers employ automated pricing agents or pricebots. Derivative following (DF) provides a simple, albeit naïve, strategy for dynamic pricing in such a scenario. In this work, we r...
