patients and methods serum zn and cu level of 43 patients with brucellosis (34 men and 9 women) were compared with 43 matched healthy controls. serum micronutrient concentrations were measured by automatic absorptive spectrophotometry. results mean serum cu concentration was significantly higher in subjects with brucellosis when compared with agematched healthy controls (p<0.05). mean serum zn ...

Copper nanoparticles were synthesized on multiwall carbon nanotubes, (Cu)/(MWCNTs), based on solvothermal method. The used reagents include MWCNTs, cupric nitrate trihydrate (Cu (NO3)2.3H2O), diethylene glycol (DEG), diethanol amine. Characterization of Cu/MWCNTS nanoparticles was performed by techniques of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction sp...

From flora of North West of Iran, four contrasting species in term of frequency and coverage on heavy metal rich soils were selected to study physiological mechanisms for different tolerance of Zn and Cu toxicity in a hydroponic culture experiment. For study of Zn toxicity, Dactylis glomerata and Secale monatum and for Cu, Cichorium intybus and Astragalus echinops were selected. A clear differe...

new hetero-binuclear hg-cu schiff base complexes were prepared by reaction of 2,2&apos;-[1,1&apos;-(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyldinitrilo)-diethyldyne]diphenolato}copper(ii) (cul1) and 6,6&apos;-x-2,2&apos;-[(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato copper(ii) [(x = ethoxy (cul2) and ‎methoxy (cul3)], with hgcl2 to give [cu(l1)hgcl2] (1), [cu(l2)hgcl2] (2), and [cu...

new hetero-binuclear hg-cu schiff base complexes were prepared by reaction of 2,2'-[1,1'-(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyldinitrilo)-diethyldyne]diphenolato}copper(ii) (cul1) and 6,6'-x-2,2'-[(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato copper(ii) [(x = ethoxy (cul2) and ‎methoxy (cul3)], with hgcl2 to give [cu(l1)hgcl2] (1), [cu(l2)hgcl2] (2), and [cu(l3)hgcl2] (3), ‎res...

Ni-Co/Cu multilayers have been grown by electrodeposition method from a single electrolyte (based on Ni(SO4).6H2O, Co(SO4).7H2O, Cu(SO4) and H3BO3) using galvanostatic control on titanium sublayers. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the multilayered structure with the nanometer thicknesses. Also, electron diffraction x-ray (EDX)  analysis confirmed the purity of deposited samples. ...

First-principle calculations were carried out to investigate the adsorption of CO over Cun nanoclusters. The structural, spectroscopic and electronic properties like optimized geometries, HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy levels, binding energy, adsorption energy, vibrational frequency and density of states (DOSs) of the p...
