The cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were synthesized from the nickel-cadmium cake of a hydrometallurgical zinc producing plant and sodium sulfide as Cd2+ and S-2 sources, respectively. Also, the synthesis process was performed by using the secretions of Bacillus licheniformis as bio-surfactant. Initially, in order to obtain a cadmium rich solution, two following steps were carried out: 1) Alkalin...

Cadmium (Cd) is non-essential heavy metal, which in excess, exhibits deleterious effects to the most of the organisms. Mobilization of defense mechanisms against this toxic agent requires rapid activation of signaling pathways. The article presents recent advances in the research concerning cadmium signal transduction in plants. New insights into the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS)...

Despite remarkable progress in the field of MOFs, structures based on long-flexible organic linkers are scarce and the majority of such materials rely on rigid linkers. In this work, crystals of a new metal-organic double ladder (MODL) are obtained by linking a pentapeptide (NH2-Glu-pCO2Phe-pCO2Phe-Ala-Gly-OH) with cadmium acetate to produce a Cd(2-pyrrolidone-pCO2Phe-pCO2Phe-Ala-Gly)(H2O)3 fra...

Morphological surface images analyze the atomic resolution in 3dimensions,the colored lateral images map, the graphic line, the forward and back shaded map with 3-Dimensions, for graphite, gold, n-type silicon wafer and cadmium oxide films by using scanning tunneling microscopy(STM) all are investigated. The images of surface graphite showed a regular geometrically distribution with 2.5nm hexag...

The testis though recognized as an immuneprivileged organ, there are a number of immunocompetent cells like macrophages, neutrophils and monocytes within the testicular interstitial compartment which give evidence of testicular immune response. Among them, macrophage population is the largest one and is known to influence the function of the neighboring Leydig cells. Testicular macrophages are ...
