that their size and the dose were the key factors influencing NPs toxic effects.(49) Despite of this, large numbers of products containing NPs are commercially available, including sunscreens, cosmetics, foods, fertilizers and medical equipment. (50) Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are known to be one of the most important metal oxide nanomaterials…

The steps of synthesis process can be explained in Fig. 1. The Zn (NO3)2.4H2O (zinc nitrate tetrahydrate) and Al (NO3)2.9H2O (aluminum nitrate nonahydrate) (Merck) are used as a precursor. ZnO precursor solution with the concentration of 0.15 M was made by dissolving 0.89 grams of powder precursor Zn(NO3)3.4H2O in 40 ml of solvent. Solvent comprises a mixture of 30 ml deionized water and 10 ml of ethanol. To speed up the process of dissolution, the mixture was stirred using a magnetic stirrer…

years have more risk of the insufficient intake of zinc and children age 2-3 years they consume zinc more than the required amount. Largely increase the population than the previous national survey (Rangan, Samman, 2012). According to a study in the US found 1909 to early 1980 there was no reliable Zn food supply (Gibson, 2012). According to the Briefel, Bialostosky, Kennedy-Stephenson, McDowell, & Wright, US population has inadequate intake of zinc is high. Inadequate intake can lead to the…

rest. There are also more natural cold remedies such as honey, lemon, zinc, and vitamin C. These herbal and mineral remedies have not been strongly supported by scientific studies though. The cold can be prevented by frequent hand…

published by The Journal of International Medical Research explored the effects of a thiamine and zinc combination supplementation treatment on lead poisoning (Flora, Singh, & Tandon, 1989). The hypothesis was that a mixture of the two would treat lead poisoning better than just thiamine or zinc alone. Measuring the lead concentration of rats who were exposed to just lead, thiamine and lead, zinc and lead, or all three and analyzing and comparing the results was the objective of this…

save electricity and offer a new way to conduct power. It is also an interesting topic to test on. The hypothesis states that different produce can conduct enough power to create electricity, because Zinc and Copper (the two elements I am testing) have a certain relationships with one another. Zinc gives its electrons to the copper, which uses the electrons to make a hydrogen gas. Section 1 Important words/phrases Electricity is created in power stations, which contain machines called turbines…

The overall purpose of the study was to create a model based off the crystal structure of the endonuclease domain of Bacillus subtilis MutL. This structure, in particular, exposes the presence of zinc in the binding site which is important for the MMR function of BsMutL in vivo. From there, they proposed a model describing the association of MutS and DNA polymerase III, β clamp with MutL, and nicking of a synthesized DNA strand. The importance of MutL is in its united effort with MutS to…

supplements may lead to zinc deficiency as calcium can block absorption of zinc. Anyone can mix nutrients and sell you a pill, and you can buy a variety of vitamins and minerals in the store and take them but getting the scientifically justified combination is much more challenging. For example. Calcium supplements interfere with absorption of zinc. High levels of phosphate in the u.s.diet interfere with calcium metabolism and contribute to osteoporosis. High doses of zinc (on the orber of…

Abstract For this experiment the amount of zinc in vitamin water had to be determined. To do this, three methods were applied. The first was by a calibration plot method, where zinc standards were prepared and from the absorbance of those standards a calibration curve was plotted, which in turn was used to determine the amount of zinc in vitamin water. The second method was standard addition. For this method, an un-spiked and spiked solution were prepared. The un-spiked solution only contained…
