The present study was carried out in 2011 to measure concentration of heavy metals chromium and tin in liver and muscle tissue of Liza aurata (golden grey mullet) in estuaries of the rivers Babolroud, Tajan and Gorganroud. Accordingly, after sampling the target are asandisolating muscle (18samples) and liver (18samples) tissues, they were digested and analyzed using Graphite Furnace Atomic Abso...

Titanium Nitride (TiN) is a wear resistant and complementary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) compatible material that is increasingly being investigated for MEMS applications. Incorporating any new material into a MEMS device requires the development of a processing strategy. This paper discusses a wet-etching strategy for patterning and releasing TiN features on Cr sacrificial layers. Filtered arc ...

Tin is a naturally occurring element. It is a silver-white, malleable, and somewhat ductile metal. The earth's crust contains about 2–3 ppm tin, comprising 0.0006% of the earth's crust. Major uses of tin include cans and containers, electrical, construction, and transportation. Industrially important tin compounds can be categorized as inorganic (those without a tin-carbon bond) and organic (th...

TWRS wastes contain certain chemical components which, either because of their limited solubility or volatilization at high temperatures, present problems for conventional vitrification technologies. The current task completed by BNL concerns the use of low temperature glasses for tank waste remediation. A literature review of existing technologies highlighted lead-iron-phosphate glasses, with ...

ABSTRACTA novel floatation-spectrophotometric extraction method was developed for the recovery of tin (II) from aqueous samples prior to determination by UV spectrophotometric detection. The method is based on the formation of a complex between tin (II) and kalmagyte in pH=8. The complex is floated in the interface of n-hexane and aqueous phases. After removing the aqueous phase, the floated pa...

The new compounds Th5F e19P 12 and ThFe4P2 were prepared by reaction o f the elemental components in a tin flux and their crystal structures were determined from single-crystal X-ray data. Th5F e19P12 crystallizes with a new monoclinic structure type: C2/m, a = 2920.3(3), b = 379.18(3), c = 931.48(8) pm, ß = 103.36(1)°, Z = 2, R = 0.031. ThFe4P2 is isotypic with SmNi4P2: Pnnm, a = 1448.9(2), b ...

Titanium nitride (TiN) is one of the most well-established engineering materials nowadays. TiN can overcome most of the drawbacks of palsmonic metals due to its high electron conductivity and mobility, high melting point and due to the compatibility of its growth with Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. In this work, we review the dielectric function spectra of TiN and we...

A kidney tubular basement membrane (TBM) component that is bound by antibodies from individuals with anti-TBM antibody-associated tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) was purified and characterized (TIN antigen). TIN antigen was prepared from rabbit TBM by extraction with guanidine and purified by ion-exchange, gel filtration, and reversed-phase chromatography. Based upon yields of protein and an...

TiN thin films were deposited on MgO (100) substrates at different substrate temperatures using rf sputtering with Ar/N2 ratio of about 10. At 700°C, the growth rate of TiN was approximately 0.05 μm/h. The structural and electrical properties of TiN thin films were characterized with x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electro...
