aluminum is very sensitive to oxidation reactions. if a fresh surface of melt is exposed to air, it oxidizes quickly and an oxide layer covers the melt surface. new oxide films formed in a very short time during casting are thin and folded. the metal surface can be folded and create a double-oxide film as a result of the melt turbulence. the entrance of this double-oxide film into the melt is o...

in order to study the effect of vermicompost containing copper oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles on was beans, in an experiment factorial were done based on a randomized complete block design in three replications. the experiment treatment were as follows: nanoparticles in 4 levels (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 g/kg weight of substrate), vermicompost in 3 levels (2.5, 5 and 7.5 g/kg-1 weight of substra...

nitric oxide is a short-lived mediator, which can be induced in a variety of cell types and produces many physiologic and metabolic changes in target cells. it is important in many biological functions and generated from l-arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. nitric oxide conveys a variety of messages between cells, including signals for vasorelaxation, neurotransmission and cytotoxici...

morphology of surface oxide film formed during pouring of molten magnesium alloy has been investigated. due to surface turbulence during casting, the oxide film necessarily makes folded cause in a dry surface to dry surface mode creating a double oxide film with the volume of air that can be encapsulated between folds of the film and this led to make gas bubbles or shrinkage cavities form. thes...

ischemia reperfusion injury (ir injury) is a common problem in clinical conditions. researches have frequently revealed that atp- sensitive potassium (katp) channels and nitric oxide plays a role in protection against ischemic injury in skeletal muscle. the present study aimed at evaluating the possible link between this two pathways. sixty-eight male wistar rats, were pretreated with saline, d...

the use of an inorganic phase in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion   has   received considerable attention recently for preparing metal oxide   nanoparticles. this is a technique, which allows preparation of ultrafine   metal oxide nanoparticles within the size range 40 to 80 nm. preparation of   nano zno and cr 2 o 3 studied, investigated in the inverse   microemulsion system. therefore the nuc...

in the present work, we report the synthesis of binary nano metal oxides such as zinc /copper oxide via novel dry synthetic methods such as thermal decomposition of oxalate precursor. the synthesis route involves facile solid-phase mechanochemical activation of a physical mixture of simple copper/zinc salts and oxalic acid, followed by calcination of the as-ground oxalate precursors at 450◦c. x...

nano-graphene oxide was synthesized by the oxidation of graphite powders. the structural nature of the nano-graphene oxide was characterized by a variety of techniques including xrd, tem, ft-ir and uv/vis. the functional groups on its basal planes and edges of nano-grahene oxide play important role in catalytic activity. the catalytic activity of nano-graphene oxide was investigated on crossed-...

the use of colored semiconductor oxide like copper (ii) oxide and nickel (ii) oxide for photocatalytic bleaching of rose bengal was investigated in detail. in order to harness the solar energy, the effective wavelength of the photocatalyst is to be expanded into the visible region and that increases the rate of photocatalytic bleaching of the dye. progress of the reaction was observed spectroph...
