STUDY OBJECTIVES Computational tools that predict the effects of daily sleep/wake amounts on neurobehavioral performance are critical components of fatigue management systems, allowing for the identification of periods during which individuals are at increased risk for performance errors. However, none of the existing computational tools is publicly available, and the commercially available too...

Introduction: Cadmium is recognized worldwide as a toxic metal. In this study, Solvent-Assisted Dispersive Solid Phase Extraction (SA-DSPE) combined with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS), was used for determination of trace amounts of Cadmium (Cd-II)) in drinking water samples. Correspondence: Omid Rahmanian, PhD. ...

in this paper, nickel oxide (nio) nanoparticles have been prepared by solid state thermal decomposition of an acyclic nickel(ii) complex (1,2-bis(2-formyl-3-methoxyphenyl)propane)nickel(ii) chloride, [nil]cl2, in an electrical furnace at optimal temperature, 450 ºc for 3.5 h. the nickel(ii) complex is obtained via solid state synthesis using nickel(ii) chloride and tetradentate o4 acyclic ligan...

Pseudomonas sp. strain PCL1171 displays colony phase variation between opaque phase I and translucent phase II colonies, thereby regulating the production of secondary metabolites and exoenzymes. Complementation and sequence analysis of 26 phase II mutants and of 13 wild-type phase II sectors growing out of phase I colonies showed that in all these cases the phase II phenotype is caused by spon...

mobile carrier properties of two schiff base ligands, named bis(2-hydroxypropiophenone)-1,2-propanediimine (n2o2) and bis(1'-hydroxy-2'-acetonaphthone)-2,2'-diiminodiethylamine (n3o2), dissolved in dichloromethane for the extraction of copper(ii) ions from an ammonium buffer feed phase into a nitric acid solution (receiving phase) were investigated and compared. the parameters influencing the t...
