The Aluminum Hypothesis, the idea that aluminum exposure is involved in the etiology of Alzheimer disease, dates back to a 1965 demonstration that aluminum causes neurofibrillary tangles in the brains of rabbits. Initially the focus of intensive research, the Aluminum Hypothesis has gradually been abandoned by most researchers. Yet, despite this current indifference, the Aluminum Hypothesis con...

Abstract Aluminum oxide thin films attract research interest due to their properties. acetate was used as an Al source with acetic acid, oxalic and nitric acid additives. The transmittance the thickness of strongly depend on additives, approximate bandgap energy changing from 5 ev 5.4 ev. aluminum film deposited by dip-coating is presented great uniform surface morphology. knowledge degradation...

Aluminum has been implicated in several neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer's disease. Because the mammalian olfactory system has an unusual capacity for the uptake and transneuronal spread of inhaled substances such as aluminum, whole cell recording techniques were used to examine the actions of aluminum on basic membrane properties and amino acid receptors on rat olfactory bulb m...

Reaction of the amino acid D-phenylalanine ethyl ester (4) with cinnamaldehyde gave chiral Schiff base 5, which underwent an asymmetric Staudinger [2+2] cycloaddition reaction with phthalimidoacetyl chloride to give the monocyclic beta-lactam 6 as a single stereoisomer. Ozonolysis of 6 followed by reduction with lithium aluminum tri(tert-butoxy) hydride afforded the hydroxymethyl beta-lactam 8....

A kinetic model to predict the relative intensities of the atomic C/H/N/O emission lines in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been developed for organic compounds. The model includes a comprehensive set of chemical processes involving both neutral and ionic chemistry and physical excitation and de-excitation of atomic levels affecting the neutral, ionic, and excited-state species ...

Electrocoagulation (EC) is an electrochemical technique which has been employed in the treatment of various kinds of wastewater. In this work the potential use of EC for the treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME) was investigated. In a laboratory scale, POME from a factory site in Chumporn Province (Thailand) was subjected to EC using aluminum as electrodes and sodium chloride as supporting...

Chromic oxide is an important basic chemical and finds many applications including metallurgical materials, green pigments, construction materials, refractory materials and catalysts. Presently, the industrial production of chromic oxide generally employs two processes (Ding, 2003): one is the reduction of sodium dichromate with ammonia sulfate; the other is the thermal decomposition of chromic...

Comment: An increase in the osteoid (previously called osteomalacia) is characterized by an increase in the surface area of bone by the accumulation of osteoid (Figure 1 and Figure 2). There may be widened seams along existing surfaces of bone. Defective mineralization results in an accumulation of homogeneous, unmineralized osteoid. Increased osteoid has been induced in rats by various compoun...
