The ZrfA and ZrfB transporters are components of a zinc-uptake system of Aspergillus fumigatus that mainly operates under acidic, zinc-limiting conditions. Expression of the genes zrfA and zrfB is up-regulated by the transcriptional activator ZafA in both acidic and neutral, zinc-limiting media. The transcription of zafA is not influenced by PacC, which is the transcriptional regulator involved...

in hot dip galvanizing, several parameters such as chemical composition of coating bath, immersion time and surface roughness of specimens could affect microstructure and properties of coating. in this article, the effect of aluminum content, immersion time and surface roughness on structure and properties of alloy layers have been investigated. specimens of low carbon silicon-free steel with d...

zn-co electrodeposits have attracted interest because of their significantly higher corrosion resistance in comparison with pure zinc. in this research the influence of bath temperature and electrolyte’s co 2+ concentration on the morphology and composition of the zn-co coatings, electrodeposited on an aisi1018 steel substrate from a weakly alkaline glycine solutions, has been studied. sem and ...

Zinc-nickel alloys with 8-15% nickel were deposited onto stainless steel for corrosion protection. Alkaline deposition conditions were utilized given that alkaline systems have been found to offer superior substrate coverage which results in better corrosion protection of the metal substrate (stainless steel) compared to acid bath depositions. This method utilizes ammonium hydroxide as the base...

The paper describes the abilities of some particular neural network structures (NNS) to provide condition monitoring in a real industrial system, designated for hot dip zinc galvanizing. Condition assessment of a molten zinc bath furnace, and more specifically analysis and prediction of the technical condition in galvanizing kettle walls are also developed in this paper.

Abstract A new method of preparation aqueous electrolyte baths for electrochemical deposition nickel targets medical accelerators is presented. It starts with fast dissolution metallic Ni powder in a HNO 3 -free solvent. Such obtained raw solution does not require additional treatment aimed to removal nitrates, such as the acid evaporation and salt precipitation-dissolution. used directly plati...

Pbi_xFexS (x — 0:25, 0.50, 0.75) films were grown from an acidic chemical bath. Nanoparticle films were structurally characterized by XRD and TEM. Optical band gap of films is observed to vary from 1.65 to 1.42 eV with increase in their iron concentration from x — 0:25 to 0.75 in the films. Increased optical band gap of the ternary films compared to the estimated bulk value is attributed to qua...
