I. The effect of various dietary levels of molybdenum on uric acid and copper excretion was studied in experiments with four adult men given diets based on two sorghum varieties (Sorghum vulgure Pers.) differing widely in Mo content. 2. With a Mo intake of 160, 540 or I j40 pg/d the urinary excretion of uric acid was unaltered. 3. The excretion of Cu in urine increased with increasing Ma intake...

Due to substantial effect of classification of resource models on future mine planning, one should come with an accurate method of estimation to guarantee that the minimum error is acquired in the estimation process. The known world class Cu-Mo deposit, Sarcheshmeh Porphyry deposit (central Iran) selected as the study area. The Hypogene zone of the deposit was chosen as the space in which estim...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of supplementing a diet marginally deficient in copper (Cu) with iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo), or Cu on phagocytic cell function and disease resistance of calves. Thirty-one calves were born to heifers fed a corn silage-based diet containing 4.5 mg of Cu/kg. Treatments consisted of 1) control (CON; no supplemental Cu, Fe, or Mo), 2) 600 mg of Fe adde...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of Cu deficiency with or without high dietary Mo or Fe on the specific immunity of calves. In Exp. 1, calves from 38 bred heifers, fed corn silage-based experimental diets from the last third of gestation until the calves were weaned, were used. Dietary treatments were control (no supplemental Fe, Mo, or Cu), 600 mg of supplemental Fe/kg o...

In situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of the dissolution of a Cu( 1 1 1 ) electrode in aqueous chloride media (HC1 and KCl) was employed to ascertain the mechanism of the reaction at the atomic level. At potentials where there was no dissolution, atomic imaging of the Cu( 1 1 1 ) revealed a ( 6 4 3 x 6d3)R30° structure consisting of a C1 adlattice with a C1-C1 distance of 0.39 f 0.02 nm w...

Background: Aras River is the main source of drinking water supply in northwestern provinces of Iran. The present study aimed to determine the concentration of heavy metals in the river on the border between Iran and Armenia. Methods: Three samples were taken from the Aras river water, the river bottom sediments and the root of Phragmites australis. In water sampling, the concentration of Hg, ...

Seasonal changes in herbage elements (Cu, Mo, S, Fe), pasture growth, and soil moisture were measured and their relationships with liver Cu concentration in weaner heifers (n=10–12) and breeding cows (n=10–12) were determined on 7 commercial farms in the Wairoa region. Liver biopsy samples were collected at 2 to 4 monthly intervals and herbage and soil moisture monthly from spring 1996 to sprin...

I. Black-hooded weanling rats were given a copper-deficient diet or diets providing 3 ppm Cu with or without supplements containing combinations of molybdate, sulphate and sulphide salts to provide 35 ppm molybdenum and z pg atoms sulphurlg. Changes in weight and blood haemoglobin concentration were studied during 48 d of treatment. The subcellular distribution of Cu and Mo in the liver was sub...
