Silicon, not to be confused with Silica or Silicone, is amineralthat is used in many ways as a health supplement. It is an essential trace element for some organisms, including humans There are several conditions that Silicon has been scientifically proven to help with, as well as some that...
Samples of amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) are obtained by acidic decomposition of mineral raw materials (nepheline). The physicochemical and structural surface properties of the samples are studied using chemical and granulometric analyses and the BET and BJH methods. It is established that the ...
Silica particles (10–20nm, purity 99.5%, obtained as dry powder from American Elements, USA), stabilised with a non-toxicdispersant(100mg Dispex A40/L) did not inhibit oxygen uptake by yeast cells up to the highest tested concentration of 1000mg/L; however, some damage of the cell membra...
Silicon dioxide(SiO2) is an inorganic compound. It is a naturally occurring mineral most commonly found in the form of quartz. Silicon dioxide is widely used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and food production due to its physical and chemical properties. It serves as a key in...
One is the formation of silicon compounds in nature – see above –while the other is concerned with organosilicon compounds obtained by synthetic procedures. This latter group of compounds, though not of natural origin, deserves our attention since it can shed light on some of the mechanisms ...
After coarse crushing, the material is fed into the ball mill through a controllable feeding device. The grinding medium in the mill repeatedly impacts and grinds the material by virtue of the kinetic energy obtained when the mill rotates. The crushed material is discharg...
It is important to note that the ratio of these main EO components can vary depending on the intensity of irrigation and the cultivation area. According to the obtained results, drought had negative effects on the percentage and compounds of hemp essential oil, while the application of nanosilic...
Silicon (Si) is reported to improve salt stress tolerance of cereals, but little is known about the effects of Si on flows and partitioning of sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl−), and essential mineral ions at the tissue and cellular level. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was exposed to 200...
The alkynyl-decorated copolymer obtained (PEG-PPG-GPE, 68 in Scheme 3.16) is used as a starter material to synthesize a drug-copolymer conjugate (70) by copper catalyzed (CuSO4 + sodium ascorbate) azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction (click reaction) with AZT (69), possessing an ...
Titration of free sRANKL was computed by the dif- ference between the equivalent weight of sRANKL and OPG obtained from ELISA, assuming 1:1 as reactive normality of sRANKL:OPG ratio. Human recombinant sRANKL (Peprotech, Cat. #310-01) was used for the in vitro osteoclastogenic assay11. ...
