PURPOSE To analyze the autofluorescence (AF) properties of pinguecula using cobalt-blue and yellow filters and to investigate the nature and pathogenesis of pingueculae using histochemical and immunohistochemical staining. METHODS Fifty pingueculae in 40 patients were included in this study. AF of the pingueculae was observed and analyzed using a cobalt-blue filter with an additional yellow f...

achaemenid glazed bricks of archaeological excavation of tall-e-ajori in persepolis city were studied by multiple instrumental analysis methods  such as xrf, xrd, sem-eds, icp and optical microscopy to identify the compositional features of glaze and brick body. glaze samples are apparently white and yellow  and this phenomenon are caused by the deterioration processes in burial environment, he...

A recent technique involving the use of paper electrophoresis is described for the study of equilibria in binary complex systems in solution. The stability constants of the ML and ML2 complex species of some metal ions, namely beryllium(II) and cobalt(II), with hydroxyproline were determined in 0.1 mol L perchloric acid and a temperature of 35 °C. The logarithm stability constants of the ML and...

Prussian blue and its analogues consisting of different transition-metal ions (Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Co and Zn) have been synthesized at room temperature. Insertion of Na into KFe(2)(CN)(6) in a carbonate electrolyte exhibited a reversible capacity near 100 mA h g(-1) with no capacity fade in 30 cycles. The data indicate that a Na-ion battery with a Prussian blue framework as a cathode will be feasible.

Organic-inorganic hybrid of cobalt phosphonate hollow nanostructured spheres were prepared in a water-ethanol system through a mild hydrothermal process in the absence of any templates using diethylenetriamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid) as bridging molecule. SEM, TEM and N2 sorption characterization confirmed a hollow spherical micromorphology with well-defined porosity. The structure and...

Mesoporous cobalt hexacyanoferrate nanocubes (meso-CoHCF) were prepared for the first time through a facile sacrificial template method. The CoHCF mesostructures possess a high specific surface area of 548.5 m²·g-1 and a large amount of mesopores, which enable fast mass transport of electrolyte and abundant energy storage sites. When evaluated as supercapacitor materials, the meso-CoHCF materia...

The growth of Cobalt oxides by reactive thermal evaporation of metallic Cobalt in an oxygen atmosphere on a series of oxide substrates, namely SiO2, Al2O3 and MgO, has been chemically and morphologically studied by means of XPS and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The XPS results reveal that cobalt oxide grows as CoO (Co) for coverages up to some tens of equivalent monolayers on all substrates. F...

Since the introduction of the indirect ophthalmoscope by Schepens (I947), the field of ophthalmology has witnessed an increasing sophistication in the instrument (Hovland, Elzeneiny, and Schepens, I969; Weaver, I 970). The recently introduced miniature indirect binocular ophthalmoscope of Schultz and Crock (Crock, Galbraith, and Parel, I969) offers a lightweight spectacle-frame instrument with ...
