during estuarine mixing of fresh water with saline water and due to the flocculation process, aportion of dissolved metals come into particulate phase, and the dissolved load decreases. this process plays an important role in self-purification of heavy metals in rivers. in this study, flocculation of cu, mn, ni, pb and zn during mixing of cheshme-kileh river water with caspian sea water has bee...

A quantitative comparison between experimental and Monte Carlo simulation results for the epitaxial growth of Cu/Cu~001! in the submonolayer regime is presented. The simulations take into account a complete set of hopping processes whose activation energies are derived from semiempirical calculations using the embedded-atom method. The island separation is measured as a function of the incoming...

We demonstrate a template-free synthetic approach for the preparation of a highly conductive Cu/Cu(2)O nanocomposite electrode by a chemical reduction process. Cu(2)O octahedra were prepared through chemical dehydrogenation of as-synthesized Cu(OH)(2) nanowire precursors. To provide a sufficiently electron-conducting network, the Cu(2)O particles were transformed into Cu/Cu(2)O nanocomposites b...

Threaded complexes like pseudorotaxanes, rotaxanes based on Cu(I)/Cu(II) ions have shown to be promising for the construction of mechanically interlocked molecular-level architectures. In this short review, we focus on the synthetic strategies developed to construct pseudorotaxanes and rotaxanes using Cu(I)/Cu(II) ions as template. Further, brief discussions on chemical and mechanical propertie...

a simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method was presented for determination of trace amounts of cu (ii) in water samples. the stability of an n, n´ -disalicylideneethylenediamine modified nano geraphene especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid was studied which used as a recycling and pre-concentration reagent for further uses of n, n´-disalicylideneethylenediamine modified na...

Three experiments were conducted to study Cu sulfate and tribasic Cu chloride (TBCC) as sources of supplemental Cu for poultry. In Experiment 1, 252 chicks were fed the basal corn-soybean meal diet (26 ppm Cu) supplemented with either 0, 150, 300, or 450 ppm Cu from Cu sulfate or TBCC for 21 d. Chicks fed 450 ppm Cu from sulfate had lower (P < 0.05) feed intake than those consuming other diets....

In the title compound, [Cu(C(76)H(92)N(4)O(4))], the central Cu(II) ion is situated on an inversion centre. The porphyrinate core exhibits a nearly planar conformation [maximum deviation = 0.027 (3) Å], with Cu-N distances of 1.997 (2) and 2.001 (2) Å. The benzene rings of the 4-octyloxyphenyl groups are rotated at angles of 84.02 (8) and 77.02 (6)° with respect to the mean plane of the porphyr...

One method for defining pathways through which children develop severe conduct problems is based on the presence or absence of callous-unemotional (CU) traits. This study investigated potential differences between nonreferred children (mean age = 12.36 years; SD = 1.73) with and without CU traits (n = 98). Children with conduct problems, irrespective of the presence of CU traits, tended to have...
