the hydrogenation characterizations of the hydrogen storage alloy mmni4.22co0.48mn0.15al0.15 (mm= mischmetal), and the effect of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation (h/d) cycling on its structural and morphological properties are investigated. the results indicate that after several h/d cycles the alloy was pulverized into fine particles, but it kept its hexagonal cacu5-type structure. the pressure-c...

a complex of cu(ii) with 1-(6-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl) butane-1,3-dione (hnbd) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ir, uv and dta-tg-dtg techniques.    ir spectra as well as uv-visible absorption measurements indicated that cu(ii) ion was coordinated to the hnbd ligand. the tg-dta-dtg curves showed that thermal decomposition of the anhydrous complex was a two-stage process a...

Aim: The objective of this work was to study the effects of formulation variables on the release kinetics of paracetamol tablet formulation. Materials and Methods: Paracetamol tablets were formulated using wet granulation (WG) and direct compression (DC) using two predetermined pressures. Avicel, dicalcium phosphate (DCP) and pregelatinized starch (PGS) were used as directly compressible...

Background Nicotine, cotinine and cadmium are harmful components of cigarettes that have an effect on human reproductive function. Although the effects of cigarette smoke on male reproductive function is characterized in several articles its mechanism of action is still unknown. In the present study, we investigate the effect of nicotine, cotinine and cadmium on human sperm creatine kinase acti...

sucrose is applied as an efficient catalyst for the three-component reaction consisting of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and resorcinol in a mixture of water and ethanol media as green solvents. the advantages of this method are excellent yeild, inexpensive catalyst and more environmentally friendly. mechanistic insight into the synthesis of 2-amino-4h-chromene included spectral kinetics ap...

conclusions according to the high efficiency of cadmium elimination by tea waste, this approach is applicable as an efficient and affordable trend to remove cadmium from aqueous solution without any chemical or physical pre-treatment. background heavy metals pollution is a serious threat to environment and human health. therefore, it is vital to find an effective method to remove heavy metals f...

apoptosis could be a major mechanism of antitumor effect of tamoxifen. therefore this study is designed to characterize the kinetic behavior of tamoxifen-induced apoptosis in the estrogen receptor positive (er+) and negative (er-) cell lines, mcf-7 and mda-mb-468. frequency of cell death was examined by trypan blue and acridine orange staining. annexin v-fluorescein/pi was used in flow cytometr...
