archaeological researches indicate that the use of silver was common in various practices; there were numerous mints for silver coinage across sassanid persia (circa 620 ad) indicating that persians were familiar with silver mining and its refining process. medical practice also benefited from that expertise, and in the course of the following centuries new forms of utilizing silver began to em...

conclusions: the results showed that silver nanoparticles have an antimicrobial effect against intramacrophage b. abortus 544. results: the well diffusion agar study showed that silver nanoparticles have an antimicrobial effect on b. abortus 544. the mic and mbc of silver nanoparticles against b. abortus 544 were; 6 ppm and 8 ppm, respectively. the silver nanoparticles showed antibacterial effe...

Methanogenesis from the non-physiological C1 donors thioproline, thiazolidine, hexamethylenetetramine, formaldehyde (HCHO), and HOCH2-S-coenzyme M (CoM) was catalyzed by cell extracts of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum under a hydrogen atmosphere. Tetrahydromethanopterin (H4MPT) and HS-CoM were required in the reaction mixture. The non-physiological compounds were found to be in chemical e...

The contribution of gluconeogenesis to glucose production can be measured by enriching body water with (2)H(2)O to approximately 0.5% (2)H and determining the ratio of (2)H that is bound to carbon-5 vs. carbon-2 of blood glucose. This labeling ratio can be measured using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after the corresponding glucose carbons are converted to formaldehyde and then to hexame...

Anatase TiO2 structures with nanorice-like morphology and high exposure of (001) facet has been successfully synthesized on an ITO surface using ammonium Hexafluoro Titanate and Hexamethylenetetramine as precursor and capping agent, respectively, under a microwave-assisted liquid-phase deposition method. These anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared within five minutes of reaction time by util...

Co-crystals of hexamethylenetetramine and resorcinol were investigated by X-ray diffraction. The structure was refined in the superspace group Xmcm(0beta0)s0s, X=(1/2 1/2 0 1/2). In the average structure the resorcinol molecules are disordered between two orientations. The main effect of the modulation in the structure is a harmonic modulation of the occupation probabilities of the two orientat...

nowadays, the use of innovative nano-technology in the food industry quality control has significantly increased and it is widely employed in numerous fields such as diagnosis of microbial toxin of foods using nano-biosensors, increasing food shelf-life with the help of nano-clay and nano-silver packaging, as well as changing some of the unpleasant organoleptic properties such as taste, color, ...

Reinforcing the visible photon absorption and charge separation are key issues to maximize photocatalytic performance of graphitic carbon nitride. Herein, holey bridging-nitrogen-defected nitride nanosheets were prepared through solid-state copolymerization subsequently thermal annealing with melamine hexamethylenetetramine as precursors. Numerous pores bridging nitrogen defects that embedded i...
