Brady, Todd C., James D. Crapo, and Robert R. Mercer. Nitric oxide inhalation transiently elevates pulmonary levels of cGMP, iNOS mRNA, and TNF-a. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 19): L509–L515, 1998.— The initial pulmonary vasodilation that occurs during nitric oxide (zNO) inhalation does not appear to be maintained chronically in many cases. zNO may acutely relax vascular smooth...

We report on the suitability of water-soluble non-polymeric electrospun cyclodextrin (CD) nanofiber templates by using atomic layer deposition (ALD) to yield metal oxide tubes. To demonstrate this, watersoluble electrospun CD nanofibers were chosen as template to produce metal oxide tubes where we have tested two examples of ALD coatings, namely, Al2O3 and ZnO. After the ALD coating on the CD n...

Post-mortem examinations of workers who died of cadmium poisoning after exposure to cadmium oxide fume have been reported by Baader (1951), Lane and Campbell (1954), and Bonnell (1955). Friberg (1950) and Friberg and Nystr6m (1952) reported similar examinations of workmen subjected to cadmium oxide dust. As part of a study of cadmium intoxication it was important to establish the distribution o...

Abstract This study has Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized from the leaf extract of Costus Afers via a green approach. The zinc nanoparticle (ZnO NPs) showed excellent adsorption capabilities towards Cd (II) and Pb ions. ZnO NPs were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD). formation was confirmed absorption ...

Herein, we synthesized the cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS-NPs) coated zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO-NRs) core-shell like CdS-NPs@ZnO-NRs heterojunction for photo(electro)chemical applications. The CdS-NPs and ZnO-NRs were through a simple hydrothermal path. physicochemical optoelectronic properties of as-prepared catalysts are characterized by various spectroscopy techniques, such as FTIR, XRD, ...

Abstract Traditional cadmium sulfide (CdS) buffer layer in selenium-free Cu(In,Ga)S 2 solar cells leads to reduced open-circuit voltage because of a negative conduction band offset at the /CdS interface. Reducing this loss necessitates substitution CdS by an alternative layer. However, substitute may introduce electrical barriers device due unfavorable alignment other interfaces, such as betwee...

We introduce high surface area ZnO nanotube photoanodes templated by anodic aluminum oxide for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Atomic layer deposition is utilized to coat pores conformally, providing a direct path for charge collection over tens of micrometers thickness. Compared to similar ZnO-based devices, ZnO nanotube cells show exceptional photovoltage and fill factors, in addit...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the light in ultraviolet (UV) region. In addition, ZnO nano attracting increasing research interest as buildin optoelectronic applications. We have succeede vertically-aligned ZnO nanostructures by laser inter which is catalyst-free and non-contact techniq vertically-aligned ZnO nanowall arrays were two-beam interference. The maximum height and a the ZnO nanowalls wer...

nanotechnology researchers have identified a wide range of nanoparticle applications that may have an important role in medicine and treatment of diseases. due to lack of detailed documentation about the toxicology of zinc oxide (zno) nanoparticles, this study was aimed to evaluate the absorption of zno nanoparticles in hearts of female nmri mice. overall, 20 adult nmri female mice were studied...

In this experiment Polystyrene/Zinc-oxide (PS/ZnO) nanocomposite fibers were produced by electrospinning technique using limonene as a green solvent. First, the morphology of electrospun pure polystyrene (PS) and PS/ZnO nanocomposite fibers investigated by SEM. Results showed the PS fiber diameter decreased by increasing concentration of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). Thermo Gravimetric An...
