Conductive concrete with nanographite–cupric nickel sulfate ore was prepared in this paper. As a new type of multifunctional multiphase conductive building material conductive, electrothermal, electromagnetic shielding, piezoresistive properties, etc., will have wide range applications snow melting, cathodic protection and structural health monitoring, other fields. In paper, different dosage n...

Novel chemical and biological sensors based on a single poly(pyrrole)-NTA chelator nanotube for sensitive, selective, rapid and real-time detection of histidine-tagged protein and cupric ions are reported. NTA groups on the nanotube surface provided a simple mechanism for metal ion sensing via the high-affinity interaction between NTA and the subsequent detection of histidine-tagged protein thr...

Ferric Species Standard ferric sulfate solutions were prepared by dissolving spectrographically pure iron rod (Johnson Matthey) in sulfuric acid and oxidizing with hydrogen peroxide. The decadic molar extinction coefficient of ferric ion in 0.8 N sulfuric acid at 24.9?C was found to be 2199 ? 4 liters mole-' cm-l at 304 m,/. The effect of a decrease of acidity and of added ferrous and cupric su...

We have established the optimal conditions for use of sodium borohydride as the reducing agent before the direct determination of mercury in water, urine, and blood by atomic absorption spectroscopy. We evaluated the effects of pH, temperature, and cupric sulfate concentration on the direct determination of both organic and inorganic compounds of mercury. Accurate and precise quantification of ...

Ascorbate in an aqueous solution is easily oxidized by molecular oxygen in the presence of cupric ion, thus producing reactive oxygen species and exhibiting cytotoxicity. In order to increase the antitumor activity of ascorbate, we used the innocuous form of cupric ion complexed with glycylglycylhistidine, a tripeptide designed to mimic the specific Cu(II) transport site of albumin molecule. Al...

1. Gall-bladder bile was obtained at cholecystectomy from seven patients who had been given [64Cu]cupric acetate intravenously. 2. Studies using dialysis and Sephadex gel filtration indicated that most of the 64Cu in the bile was in a heat-stable complex of molecular weight exceeding 50 000. The remaining biliary 64Cu was in a low-molecular-weight component. 3. Above pH 4, 64Cu could not readil...

Experiments on the diffusion-limited corrosion of porous copper clusters in thin gap cells containing cupric chloride are reported. By carefully comparing corrosion front velocities and concentration profiles obtained by phase-shift interferometry with theoretical predictions, it is demonstrated that this process is well-described by a one-dimensional mean-field model for the generic reaction A...

Copper is both an essential micronutrient and a toxic heavy metal for most living cells. The presence of high concentrations of cupric ions in the environment promotes the selection of microorganisms possessing genetic determinants for copper resistance. Several examples of chromosomal and plasmid copper-resistance systems in bacteria have been reported, and the mechanisms of resistance have st...
