Context. H2O is the most abundant component of astrophysical ices. In most lines of sight it is not possible to fit both the H2O 3 μm stretching, the 6 μm bending intensities with a single pure H2O spectrum. Recent Spitzer observations have revealed CO2 ice in high abundances and it has been suggested that CO2 mixed into H2O ice can affect the positions, shapes and relative strengths of the 3 μ...

Many short-term studies with dietary nitrate supplementation in humans and animal models reported positive effects on the cardiovascular system, exercise efficiency, immune function. However, there has been long-standing concern related to cancer adverse hormonal effects. We studied long-term of different potassium (KNO3) concentrations laboratory mice longevity structural changes their organs....

The syntheses and characterization of four new hybrid coordination networks based on lanthanide ions (Ln = Nd, Sm) and 1,3-carboxymethylimidazolium (L) salt in the presence of oxalic acid (H2ox) are reported. The influence of the synthesis parameters, such as the nature of the lanthanide ion (Nd3+ or Sm3+), the nature of the imidazolium source (chloride [H2L][Cl] or zwitterionic [HL] form) and ...

background: in this research, the decomposition of aroclor 1254, including 20 kinds of poly chlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), in real waste transformer oil in the presence of peg1000, naoh, zero valent iron and h2o by microwave (mw) irradiation was studied. methods: central composites design (ccd) method was carried out for experimental design. the effects of microwave power levels (200- 1000 w), r...

The infrared photodissociation spectra of [(CO2)n(H2O)m] (n = 1–4, m = 1, 2) are measured in the 3000–3800 cm range. The [(CO2)n(H2O)1] spectra are characterized by a sharp band around 3570 cm except for n = 1; [(CO2)1(H2O)1] does not photodissociate in the spectral range studied. The [(CO2)n(H2O)2] (n = 1, 2) species have similar spectral features with a broad band at ≈3340 cm. A drastic chang...

A series of heterometallic magnesium diruthenium(ii,iii) carbonates, namely K{Mg(H2O)6}2[Ru2(CO3)4Cl2]·4H2O (1), K2[{Mg(H2O)4}2Ru2(CO3)4(H2O)Cl]Cl2·2H2O (2), K[Mg(H2O)5Ru2(CO3)4]·5H2O (3) and K[Mg(H2O)4Ru2(CO3)4]·H2O (4), were synthesized from the reaction of Ru2(CO3)4(3-) and Mg(2+) in aqueous solution. Compound 1 is composed of ionic crystals with the Ru2(CO3)4Cl2(5-) : Mg(H2O)6(2+) : K(+) ra...
