Two field experiments were carried out to study groundnut physiological and chemical response to cobalt nutrition. Experiments were conducted at Research and production statation, National Research Centre, El-Nobaria Beheara Governorate, Delta, Egypt under drip irrigation system. Cobalt added once i.e. 0.0, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 ppm. The obtained results indicate that: Cobalt concentrations signif...

This is one of the first documented cases of metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty cobalt cardiac toxicity that has led to patient death. A 69-year-old female presented to our institution with cardiac failure secondary to cobalt toxicity resulting from bilateral MoM total hip arthroplasty. Her presenting metal ion levels were a cobalt level of 199 ppb and a chromium level of 77 ppb. She u...

The iq-hmziitation of an experimental design to investigate the variation in cobalt hardened gold electrodeposition produced a series of electrodeposited AuCo alloys which had been stripped from their copper substrates. The magnetic properties of these electroplatings were measured at room temperature using the Faraday method. These measurements showed the presence of two magnetic phases. One p...

Mediation of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) by cobalt(II) complexes (CMRP) is the most highly developed subcategory of organometallic mediated RDRP (OMRP). Attention was paid to CMRP for its unusual high efficiency observed for the control of acrylate and vinyl acetate polymerization that produced homo- and block copolymers with narrow molecular weight distribution and a ...

OBJECTIVES The inspiration of cobalt containing dust leads to various respiratory symptoms, including asthma and interstitial lung disease. Occupational asthma caused by cobalt chloride has been diagnosed in a 35-year-old patient, who worked as a diamond polishing disc former. The patient presented a 2-year history of dyspnea, cough and symptoms of rhinitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The patient ...

Zn0.9Cd0.1S nanoparticles doped with 0.005-0.24 M cobalt have been prepared by co-precipitation technique in ice bath at 280 K. For the cobalt concentration >0.18 M, XRD pattern shows unidentified phases along with Zn0.9Cd0.1S sphalerite phase. For low cobalt concentration (≤0.05 M) particle size, dXRDis ~3.5 nm, while for high cobalt concentration (>0.05 M) particle size decreases abruptly (~2...

to cobalt with negative results for chromium, nickel and cement. Both prostheses were removed and the joints were sterile but contained grey pultaceous material with a relatively high cobalt and chromium content; there were multiple acetabular fractures on each side and the acetabular wall was paper-thin. Following the removal of the second prosthesis she became cobalt-negative and her urinary ...

Ion-associate complexes of Itopride hydrochloride with zinc(II) thiocyanate, sodium cobaltinitrite and ammonium reineckate are precipitated. The solubility of the ion associates at the optimum pH and ionic strength values have been examined. Saturated solutions were prepared at different temperatures ( 25 – 60C ) under the optimum precipitation conditions and the metal ion contents ( zinc, chro...

Second-generation metal-on-metal (M/M) total hip replacements were introduced into clinical use in the late 1980s and demonstrate equivalent survivorship to conventional metal-on-polyethylene prostheses. Wear rates are comparable to those of first-generation designs that survived for a long time in the body. Biological effects from metal ions remain a concern. Patients with both first- and seco...

The addition of cobalt was experimentally observed to increase the strength and impact toughness of Cu precipitation hardened steel. In order to understand the mechanism of this strengthening, we studied the effect of cobalt in the bulks and surfaces of bcc Fe and bcc Cu, as well as at the Fe/Cu interface by ab initio density-functional approach. We investigated the cobalt distribution between ...
