Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20 is an anaerobic sulfate reducing bacteria. While Desulfovibrio species have previously been shown to reduce palladium and platinum to the zero-state, forming nanoparticles in the process; there have been no reports that D. alaskensis is able to
To determine the release of nickel from 1- and 2-euro coins and the ability to produce allergic contact dermatitis from the application of coins to the palmar skin of nickel-sensitized individuals. Three experiments were conducted. Experiments 1 and 2 checked

Nickel is a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis and is associated with metal buttons and snaps on blue jeans. To determine the prevalence of nickel-positive metal buttons on blue jeans and the efficacy of nail polish in the prevention
A solid paraffin-based carbon paste electrode modified with 2-aminothiazole organofunctionalized silica (SiAt-SPCPE) was applied to Ni(2+) determination in commercial ethanol fuel samples. The proposed method comprised four steps: (1) Ni(2+) preconcentration at open circuit potential directly in the ethanol fuel
