On the basis of the results of ξ(2230) → π+π−, pp̄ and KK̄, measured by the BES Collaboration in radiative J/ψ decays, combined with the upper limit of Br(ξ → pp̄)Br(ξ → KK̄), measured by PS185 experiment, we argue that the distinctive properties of ξ(2230), the flavor-symmetric decays and the narrow partial decay widths to ππ andKK̄ as well as its copious production in radiative J/ψ decay, would st...

This paper is focused on the template-free synthesis of nanosized ferric oxide (nano-Fe(2)O(3)) and its application in quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) resonators to detect dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), a simulant of Sarin. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirm that the synthesized samples are made of Fe(2)O(3) and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) pictures show that the sampl...

Iron (Fe) deficiency is a major human health concern in areas of the world in which diets are often Fe deficient. In the current study, we aimed to identify appropriate methods and optimal dosage for Fe fortification of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) dal with FeSO₄·7H₂O (ferrous sulphate hepta-hydrate), NaFeEDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid iron (III) sodium salt) and FeSO₄·H₂O (ferrous sul...

Z. Naturforsch. 57 b, 305–308 (2002); received Dezember 10, 2001 Ferrocene, [1]Ferrocenophanes, Fe NMR Fe NMR spectra (11.66 MHz) of the 1,1-diorganosila-[1]ferrocenophanes, [Fe(C5H4)2]SiRR 2 (1) (R = R = Me) and (2) (R = Me, R = Ph), the 1-chloro-1-organosila-[1]ferrocenophanes [Fe(C5H4)2]Si(Cl)R 3 (R =Me) and 4 (R = Ph), and of 1,1-dichlorosila-[1]ferrocenophane, [Fe(C5H4)2]SiCl2 5, were meas...

The aim of this present work is to study, the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in well water in the presence of sodium tungstate (ST)-Zn 2+ -N-(phosphenomethyl) iminodiaceticacid (NPMIDA) solutions. Electrochemical studies and FTIR spectral studies and weight loss study have been employed. It was found that the inhibition efficiency (IE) of ST (50 ppm)-Zn 2+ (10 ppm) was improved from 8% to 8...

Brain, liver, kidney and muscles demonstrate significant changes in essential trace element (Cu, Zn, Mn and Fe) level in adult female mice given 30, 60 and 120 ppm sodium fluoride (NaF) in drinking water. These changes involve excess removal or accumulation of these trace elements in respective tissues. Changes observed were dose dependent and significant at 120 ppm NaF concentration in drinkin...

The thorium content of mine dust collected at various locations along the drift to the SNO site has been measured with several techniques-direct counting, proton induced x-ray emission, x-ray fluorescence, and neutron activation analysis. The thorium content varies significantly, from a minimum of 4 ppm to a maximum of 24 ppm (from direct counting measurements). The average Th content of the si...

The patients with end-stage of renal disease (ESRD) need to take oral phosphate binder. Traditional phosphate binders may leave the disadvantage of aluminum intoxication or cardiac calcification. Herein, Mg-Fe-Cl hydrotalcite-like nanoplatelet (HTln) is for the first time characterized as potential oral phosphate binder, with respect to its phosphorus uptake capacity in cow milk and cellular cy...

Wheat is a major staple food crop providing about 20% of dietary energy and proteins, and food products made of whole grain wheat are a major source of micronutrients like Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Magnesium (Mg), Vitamin B and E. Wheat provides about 40% intake of essential micronutrients by humans in the developing countries relying on wheat based diets. Varieties with genetically...

The magnetostrictive atomic strain in a pure Fe single crystal was measured by differential x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The obtained tetragonal magnetostriction constant, (3/2)λ100, was determined to be 45 ppm, consistent with the previously reported theoretical value calculated from a spin-orbit coupling theory. These results provide a foundation for understanding the origin of magnetostric...
