As renal development and maturation processes begin in utero continue through early childhood, sensitive developmental periods arise during which metal exposures can program subclinical nephrotoxicity that manifests later life. We used novel dentine biomarkers of established nephrotoxicants including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), lithium (Li), their mixtures, to identify critical windows exposure-associated kidney function alterations preadolescents.Participants...
Abstract New chemical and structural data on sepiolite-falcondoite in garnierite veins from the Falcondo Ni-laterite deposits, central Dominican Republic, are reported. Samples of Ni-sepiolite-falcondoite vary colour whitish green to depending NiO content (wt.%) amount silica present. The texture is normally schistose friable but samples with considerable quartz and/or amorphous compact hard. Back-scattered electron images indicate that composed at least three generations...
A novel method for the preparation of crude oil samples based on a xerogel matrix was developed elemental analysis using laser ablation–double focusing sector field inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The and aqueous solution were successfully encapsulated zirconium n-propoxide. use produces stable homogeneous pellets, avoids splashing sample allows inorganic standards to elaborate calibration curve. Sulfur, nickel vanadium selected as test elements indium used internal standard...
Transparent ceramics are important optical materials with applications in street lighting, high-strength windows, electro- and magneto-optical isolators, high-power laser gain media radiation detectors. Their fabrication most often relies on powder densification techniques carried out at high temperatures, sometimes promoted by sintering additives. Here, we describe the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for following concentration levels silica used as a agent...
Encapsulation of samples in Zr xerogels has been implemented for the elemental analysis crude oils using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Pellets produced from proved to be durable and homogeneous, they allow ablation without splatters. Ni V present Venezuelan oil were used as probe elements, Yttrium was an internal standard take into account fluctuations amount ablated material. All calibration curves obtained described by high correlation coefficients, r2 > 0.990. Detection limits 7 4...
In this work, we propose the use of molecular emission calcium fluoride (CaF) by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to obtain quantitative distribution images teeth.

Nuclear waste management has led to recycling PuO/sub 2/ into mixed oxide fuel nuclear (MOX). Its manufacturing route involves a sintering process. A multiscale model is under construction in order predict the evolution of sample characteristics during and improve conditions. The purpose small scale simulate grain size chemistry micrometer large samples. In green state, crystallites are 0.3 /spl mu/m made either UO/sub 2+x/ or 2-y/. After (U,Pu)O/sub 2-z/ solid solutions formed with...

The α-phase structure of the title compound, C6H4Cl2, has been accurately redetermined at room temperature. Comparison with 100 K data shows that all different shortest intermolecular contacts (Cl⋯Cl, Cl⋯C, Cl⋯H, C⋯C, C⋯H, H⋯H) undergo thermal expansion. A three-centred hydrogen-bonding geometry is considered for some Cl⋯H contacts.
