Nonlinear optical Zinc mixed bisthiourea Cadmium chloride (BTCC) crystals were synthesized and grown by slow evaporation method. The FTIR analysis reveals that the C-N stretching frequencies of thiourea are shifted towards the higher frequencies for pure and Zinc mixed BTCC and the C = S stretching frequencies are shifted towards the lower frequencies for pure and Zinc mixed BTCC crystals. Thes...

Seed mediated aqueous chemical growth (ACG) route was used for the growth of ZnO nanostructures on Si substrate in four different growth mediums. The growth medium has shown to affect the morphology and the size of the different nanostructures. We observed that the medium containing zinc nitrate anions yields the nanorods, in a medium containing zinc acetate anions nano-candles are obtained. Wh...

BACKGROUND Iron oxyhydroxides are commonly found in natural aqueous systems as nanoscale particles, where they can act as effective sorbents for dissolved metals due to their natural surface reactivity, small size and high surface area. These properties make nanoscale iron oxyhydroxides a relevant option for the remediation of water supplies contaminated with dissolved metals. However, natural ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the preventive role of zinc chloride on toxicity of ciprofloxacin administration in Wistar albino rat litter. It was a Prospective experimental study. The study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Basic Medical Sciences Institute, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, Pakistan during March 2002 to February 2003 one year study. METHOD Ciprofloxacin and zinc...

Introduction: Formaldehyde is one of the most common chemicals used for embalming and as a result teaching anatomy. Because of the adverse effects of formaldehyde on human health and also its environmental complications, this study was conducted to investigate a new solution containing zinc chloride for fixation and preservation of anatomical specimens.  Methods: In this study, we used 40...

This work is a preliminary examination of mechanistic issues on the comparative corrosion performance of regular epoxy-coated rebar (ECR) and dual polymer-zinc coated reinforcement (DCR) in simulated concrete pore solution with and without chloride ions, at polarizations from +100 mV to -1000 mV in the saturated calomel electrode (SCE) scale and exposure periods of 1 month or longer. Both mater...

Abstract Objectives Dentifrices containing zinc reduce gingival inflammation and bleeding better than control dentifrices (no zinc). How might work is not understood. We have shown that lysine decarboxylase (LdcE), an enzyme from Eikenella corrodens, converts to cadaverine in dental biofilms. The lack of impairs the dentally attached cell barrier biofilm, causing biofilm products leak into junc...

This study demonstrates the use of an ecofriendly activated carbon (AC) prepared from pea peels by chemical activation with zinc chloride for biosorption Cr (VI) aqueous solutions. The ...
