Galvanic corrosion behavior between copper and titanium in natural seawater has been studied using wet/dry cycle corrosion test by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The EIS was performed on Cu/Ti galvanic couple in natural seawater after wet/dry cyclic corrosion test. The charge transfer re...

BackgroundThe in situ classification of bullets is of interest in forensic investigations when the bullet cannot be removed. Although computed tomography (CT) is usually performed on shooting victims, visual assessment, or caliber measurements using CT can be challenging or infeasible if the bullets are deformed or fragmented. Independent from the ...

Individuals buried in two 17th–18th Century private chapels, each attached to a Franciscan Friary—one in Italy the other in Denmark—have been studied and sampled for trace element analysis. This selection of individuals allows a comparison of the trace element inventory of members of noble families against friars and townspeople, as well as a compa...

Roxarsone (ROX) and copper (Cu) are growth promoters in livestock to promote growth and prevent disease. These chemicals and their metabolites are released to the soil through manure application and have a potential adverse effect on soil-dwelling organisms. The objective of this study was to investigate the combined subacute effect of ROX exposure...

Fluorinated graphene/gold nanocage (FGP/AuNC) nanocomposite was developed for simultaneous determination of heavy metals using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. Under optimized conditions, with a buffer pH of 5.0, a deposition potential of − 1.25 V, and a deposition time of 140 s, the method can obtain the best results. The FGP/AuNC electro...

BackgroundDespite being one of the primary mechanisms of gene expression regulation in eukaryotes, alternative splicing is often overlooked in ecotoxicogenomic studies. The process of alternative splicing facilitates the production of multiple mRNA isoforms from a single gene thereby greatly increasing the diversity of the transcriptome and proteom...

Viscose fabrics were modified with alginate and doped with copper ions, to investigate the effect of copper doping on their antibacterial and UV blocking properties. The modified fabrics were characterized using FTIR, UV spectroscopy, SEM and chromatometric analysis and their copper uptake properties were investigated. The antibacterial effect of t...

PurposeCopper is essential for enzymatic processes throughout the body. [64Cu]copper (64Cu) positron emission tomography (PET) has been investigated as a diagnostic tool for certain malignancies, but has not yet been used to study copper homeostasis in humans. In this study, we determined the hepatic removal kinetics, biodistribution and radiation ...

It remains obscure whether circulating aortic zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) levels are associated with the progress of human abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to explore this relationship. A literature search on circulating and aortic zinc and copper levels and AAA patients was conducted using online databases in...

ObjectivesDistinct diseases prevent endangered huemul deer (Hippocamelus bisulcus) recovery. Fundamental etiological factors include nutriments, a mayor component of habitat quality. Undernutrition affects growth, skeletal development, osteopathology, reproduction and immunocompetence: this paper amplifies data corroborating micro-nutrient deficien...
