Abstract

Nanosized barium-stroutium titanate (BST) powder, a double salt sorbent, was prepared from BaCl2, SrCl2 and TiCl4 by using oxalate co-precipitate method, and characterized by using transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). By means of determination with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), the adsorption characteristic of lead on the BST powder w as investigated. The results showed that theforms of the BST powders are clubbed, highly pure perovskite, and the average particle diameter is 36 nm. Lead can be adsorbed strongly on nanosized BST. The adsorption capacity of BST nanoparticle towards lead was found to be 13 mg x g(-1) when the pH is 6.0, and 0.5 mol x L(-1) HNO3 is sufficient for complete elution. A new method for the determination of trace lead based on BST nanoparticle separation/preconcentration and FAAS determination was proposed. The detection limit of this method for lead ion is 11 microg x L(-1), and the relative standard deviation is 2.6%. The method has been applied to the determination of trace lead in water samples with satisfactory results.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
