as a new precursor, [tris(2-hydroxyacetophenato) triaqua(iii)], [y(hap)3(h2o)3]; complex was used in thermal decomposition process for the synthesis of rod-like high-temperature ceramic ybco with length of about 320-350 nm and diameters 60–90 nm. the as-synthesized products were characterized by xrd, ft-ir, tem, sem and edx analyses. the results showed that by using fine raw materials, the calc...

Background: Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a common bone and mineral metabolism disorder in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to determinate the frequency of the subtypes of ROD and evaluate the diagnostic value of biochemical as the well as radiographic markers for the diagnosis of ROD among hemodialysis patients in Golestan province of Iran.  Materials and Methods...

Green-chemistry type procedures were used to synthesize Pd nanostructures encapsulated by a vanadium-substituted Wells-Dawson-type polyoxometalate (Pd@POM). The cyclic voltammogram run with the Pd@POM-modified glassy carbon electrode shows well-defined waves, associated with Pd nanostructures and the V/V redox couple. The Pd@POM-modified electrode displayed remarkably reproducible cyclic voltam...

A new lead(II)-selective electrode has been developed based on bis(acetylacetone)-p-phenylenediamine-lead(II) [LPb(NO3)2]H2O complex ionophore as a sensing material, dioctylphthalate (DOP) as a solvent mediator and PVC as a matrix. This electrode exhibits a linear Nernstian response over the concentration range of 1 x 10(-5)-1 x 10(-1) mol l(-1) of Pb(II) cation, with a cationic calibration slo...

The potential use of wastewater sludge as a biosorbent for the removal various metals and metalloids from aqueous solutions was investigated. immobilized in rod shape with chitosan to improve sorption capacity solid–liquid separation ability. An optimal condition production rod-shaped chitosan-immobilized (RCS) determined by considering As(V) efficiency. contents RCS thickness were 6.0%, 4.0%, ...

Abstract—Dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators (DBD-PAs) have been developed for active flow control devices. However, it is necessary to reduce ozone produced by DBD toward practical applications using DBD-PAs. In this study, variations of ozone concentration, flow velocity, power consumption were investigated by changing exposed electrodes of DBD-PAs. Two exposed electrode prototypes ...

PURPOSE In a spontaneous mutant substrain of C57BL/10 mice, severely affected retinal ribbon-type synapses have been described. The retinopathy was accompanied by a substantial loss in the activities of the second-order neurons. Rod photoreceptor responses were maintained with reduced amplitude, whereas cone activities were absent. This study was conducted to identify the genetic defect underly...

We have generated a set of amino- and carboxy-terminal deletions of the neurofilament NF-M gene and determined the molecular consequences of forced expression of these mutant constructs in mouse fibroblasts. To follow the expression of mutant NF-M subunits in transfected cells, a 12 amino acid epitope (from the human c-myc protein) was expressed at the carboxy terminus of each mutant. We show t...

MYH9-related disorders are autosomal dominant syndromes, variably affecting platelet formation, hearing, and kidney function, and result from mutations in the human nonmuscle myosin-IIA heavy chain gene. To understand the mechanisms by which mutations in the rod region disrupt nonmuscle myosin-IIA function, we examined the in vitro behavior of 4 common mutant forms of the rod (R1165C, D1424N, E...
