A poly(amine ester) dendrimer with naphthyl units (G1N6) has been synthesized as a fluorescent chemosensor for metal ions. We investigated the metal-ion recognition of G1N6 by adding each of Ag(+), Al(3+), Ba(2+), Ca(2+), Cd(2+), Co(2+), Cu(2+), Fe(3+), Mg(2+), Ni(2+), and Zn(2+) in acetonitrile solution. Large changes were observed in the fluorescence spectra of G1N6 upon the addition of Al(3+...

We investigated the precipitation behavior and mechanical properties of naturally aged Al–7.6Zn–2.7Mg–2.0Cu–0.1Zr–0.07Ti (wt.%) alloy using various experimental methods including electron backscatter diffraction, microhardness, electrical resistivity, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray transmission microscopy (TEM), atom-probe tomography (APT), tensile tests. GPI zones commenced forming a...

Natural aging reduces the cost of alloy manufacturing while saving input energy but takes too long to complete for most Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys. Research has proved that nano-treating can facilitate precipitation in heat-treatable In this study, nano-treated Al-6.0Zn-2.6Mg-xCu samples containing different Cu contents were fabricated investigate influence on natural aging. TiC nanoparticles used nano...

Yogurt, a traditional Turkish dairy product is common in all region of Turkey. The different heavy metals were determined in commercial yogurts by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP–OES). Concentrations of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd...

BACKGROUND, AIM AND SCOPE Water quality impairment by heavy metal contamination is on the rise worldwide. Phytoremediation technology has been increasingly applied to remediate wastewater and stormwater polluted by heavy metals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Laboratory analysis and field trials were conducted to evaluate the uptake of metals (Al, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, and Zn)...

In this paper, we studied the relation between the micronutrient and gestational diabetes. Therefore, we measured micronutrient concentration including Ni, Al, Cr, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, and Se in serum of women with gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks of gestational age (study group) who had inclusion criteria and comparison with micronutrient levels in normal pregnant women with same gestat...
