Corrosion resistance of iron can be drastically improved by addition of passivating alloying elements. A supersaturated solid solution of Fe-25at%Sn was produced by mechanical alloying of commercially pure iron and tin powders for 24 hours using a planetary ball mill. Electrochemical measurements were performed on cold compacted unsintered specimens.. XRD investigation on produced alloy showed ...

I NITIALLY, macrocytic red cells with a shortened life span are produced in response to intense erythropoietic stimulation, e.g., in phenyihydrazineinduced anemia, severe hlocd loss, exposure to hypoxia or the administration of erythropoietin.1 We have postulated that these macrocytes result from a shortening of the interval between differentiation of stem cells and emergence of reticulocytes t...

The response of iron-oxidizing Leptospirillum ferriphilum YSK and sulfur-oxidizing Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans A01 to arsenite under pure culture and coculture was investigated based on biochemical characterization (concentration of iron ion and pH value) and related gene expression. L. ferriphilum YSK and At. thiooxidans A01 in pure culture could adapt up to 400 mM and 800 mM As(III) after d...

Pure iron has been demonstrated as a potential candidate for biodegradable metal stents due to its appropriate biocompatibility, suitable mechanical properties and uniform biodegradation behavior. The competing parameters that control the safety and the performance of BMS include proper strength-ductility combination, biocompatibility along with matching rate of corrosion with healing rate of a...

Pure g-C3N4 sample was prepared by thermal treatment of melamine at 520 °C, and iron-modified samples (0.1, 0.3 1.1 wt.%) were mixing with iron nitrate calcination °C. The photocatalytic activity the materials investigated based on reduction CO2, which conducted in a homemade batch reactor that had been irradiated from top using 365 nm Hg lamp. photocatalyst lowest amount ions exhibited an extr...

Indeed, Carpeniter and Heirndon (1933) suggested that bacterial activity by some sulfur oxidizing organism might explain, in part, the high acidities usually encountered in bitumi...

The aim of this study was to determine the relative prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with pure menstrual migraine (PMM) and menstrually related migraine (MRM), and to compare them with the women free of it in an outpatient clinic-based population. Adult menstruating women with ICHD-2 migraine were included. Demographic data were obtained by verbal report. Study women were ask...

Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) and percentage of hypochromic cells (%Hypo) are restricted to the Siemens analysers. The aims of the study were to investigate the correlation of Red cells size factor (RSf) and low Hemoglobin density (LHD%), reported by Beckman-Coulter analysers, with CHr and %Hypo in the assessment of iron status in the presence of inflammation. 381 samples were run on bo...
