the liquefaction resistance of soil can be evaluated using laboratory tests such as cyclic simple shear, cyclic triaxial, cyclic torsional shear as well as field methods like standard penetration test (spt), cone penetration test (cpt) and shear wave velocity (vs). in this regard, this study attempts to compare the results of the spt based on the simplified procedure proposed by seed and idriss...

copper nanoparticles were fabricated by electro-reduction of cuso4solution in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) cationic surfactant as an additive through potentiostatic method. the prepared copper nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) and electrochemical methods. the sem images reveal that the nanoparticles with diameters at about 70 n...

The redox properties of DNA play an influential role in several important processes such as DNA mutation and the interaction of DNA with drugs. Structural changes in DNA nucleobases from its canonical form to its tautomeric forms can alter these properties and may lead to DNA mutation due to altered base-pairing properties. Experimental results for the standard value of DNA redox properties var...

The present work describes the construction of a new modified electrode by casting the appropriate mixture of a metallocene, which has been introduced in the experimental part, as a mediator at the surface of glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The proposed modified GC electrode was used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) in phosphate buffer (PB) solution (pH = 4.0). When compared to bare GC...

In this work, a novel thinner derived from natural botany Chinese Larch Tree was obtained by combination lignin with phenol using H2O2 as oxidant and the acting efficiency of lignosulfonate in the drilling fluids is greatly enhanced after oxidation with H2O2. Both the chemical structure and the adsorptive ability of the oxidation...

Background: Chlorophenols are classified as priority toxic pollutants. These acidic organic compounds present a serious potential hazard for human health and aquatic life. Chlorophenols accumulate in water, soil and air due to high stability, and impart an unpleasant taste and odor to drinking water and can exert negative effects on different biological processes. Among the different methods of...
