The present in vitro microperfusion study examined the maturation of Na+/H+antiporter and Cl-/base exchanger on the basolateral membrane of rabbit superficial proximal straight tubules (PST). Intracellular pH (pHi) was measured with the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein in neonatal and adult superficial PST. Na+/H+antiporter activity was examined aft...

Background: Solid targets that consist of powder and electrodeposited targets are used commonly to produce radionuclides by accelerators. Since silver is easily electrodeposited in cyanide baths and has a very excellent thermal conductivity, the electrodeposited target is preferable to produce 109Cd. To avoid cracking or peeling of the target during bombardment, it should have a level surface a...

The electrical contact resistance of a Ag/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite plating film prepared using cyanide-free bath was evaluated against H2S gas corrosion test. After the test, Ag/CNT exhibited lower than Ag for comparison. mechanism superior characteristics investigated various methods. Scanning electron microscopy observations and X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that amount silver su...

The aim of this research is to obtain electrodeposits of copper-tin over mild steel substrate. The plating parameters were studied and a model is developed using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The electrodeposition of copper-tin was carried out from an alkaline cyanide bath. Copper content of coatings in alloy deposition was determined by using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The results we...

Measurements with the selected-ion flow tube technique are reported for the room-temperature kinetics of the sequential ligation of Fe and (c-C5H5)Fe with HCN and HC3N in helium bath gas at 0.35 Torr. (c-C5H5)2Fe was observed not to react. Titration curves of the variation in the apparent bimolecular rate coefficient for ligation with the number of ligands provide cyanide coordination numbers f...
