Copper-based nanoparticles prepared from copper(II) acetate bipyridine complex

The syntheses of CuO, Cu/Cu2O and Cu2O/CuO nanoparticles (NPs) from a single copper(II) acetate bipyridine complex by three different methods, microwave-assisted, solvothermal and borohydride, are reported. The presence of the bipyridine ligand in the copper complex would impose no necessity for additional stabilization during synthesis. The phases of formed NPs were identified by X-ray diffractio

Linear conjugation problem with a triangular matrix coefficient

We consider a classical linear conjugation problem for analytic vector-valued functions on a piecewise smooth curve with a triangular matrix coefficient in weighted H¨older spaces. In the twodimensional case, conditions for the existence of a solution are found, a solution of this problem is given, and the construction of the canonical matrix function is analyzed in detai

Association of C3435T (rs1045642) polymorphism of the MDR1 gene with the increased risk of colorectal cancer in russian females from Central Russia

The objective of this study was to examine associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs1045642 within the MDR1 gene and rs1799930 within the NAT2 gene, with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in the population of Central Russi
