-Six well-characterized soil kaolins from widely separated sites in south-western Australia and four reference kaolins were studied by 57Fe M6ssbauer spectroscopy at room temperature after removal of non-structurally-bound iron with dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate solution. The soil kaolins and one of the reference kaolins were also studied at temperatures near 16 K. The soil kaolins were remark...

kuh-e-faryadoon and kouli kosh iron deposits are hosted by regional metamorphic rocks of sanandaj-sirjan zone around deh-bid area. plugs and domes of acid rocks protrude these metamorphic rocks. a mylonitization event is super imposed on acid rock and metamorphic complexes. field, petrological and geochemical studies have shown that (1) iron mineralization have occurred during mylonitization in...

Intracellular free iron of Escherichia coli was determined by whole-cell electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry. Ultrahigh pressure (UHP) increased both intracellular free iron and cell lethality in a pressure-dose-dependent manner. The iron chelator 2,2'-dipyridyl protected cells against UHP treatments. A mutation that produced iron overload conditions sensitized E. coli to UHP treatment.

   Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have numerous applications in the biomedical field. This paper reports the preparation and properties of iron oxide nanoparticles synthesised by thermal decomposition method from iron chelates. The iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR, powder XRD, VSM, SEM and TEM techniques. FTIR and powder XRD studies show that iron oxide was fo...

In this study, Fe3O4 superparamagnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and stabilized by chitosan. Then the nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Particle size distribution and Zeta potential of the particles also was assessed using Malvern Zetasizer. The paramagnetic behaviors of the uncoated and chitosan coated n...

Introduction: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a powerful tool for the evaluation of radiation therapy since the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) provides information about tumor viability [1]. Problems may arise, however, when DWI is used in the presence of paramagnetic particles, e.g., to evaluate the effect of internal radiation therapy of liver tumors using Holmium-166 loaded microsp...

The spectroscopic studies of transition metal complexes of iron. metal complexes, are characterized by XRD, FTIR, H NMR, Mössbauer and VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer) measurements, are reported in the present paper. The XRD analysis reveals the crystalline nature of all the compounds. Mössbauer study interprets paramagnetic nature of complexes at room temperature. VSM measurements also reve...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cell tracking of cancer cells labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxides (SPIO) allows visualizing metastatic cells in preclinical models. However, previous works showed that the signal void induced by SPIO on T2(*)-weighted images decreased over time. Here, we aim at characterizing the fate of iron oxide nanoparticles used in cell tracking studies and the role ...

We have reported that pharmacological doses of oral nitrite increase circulating nitric oxide (NO) and exert hypotensive effects in Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced hypertensive rats. In this study, we examined the effect of a chronic dietary dose of nitrite on the hypertension and renal damage induced by chronic L-NAME administration in rats. The animals were administered ...
