Ammonium gadolinium polyphosphate, NH(4)Gd(PO(3))(4), (I), and ammonium gadolinium cyclotetraphosphate, NH(4)GdP(4)O(12), (II), were synthesized by flux growth with excess (NH(4))(2)HPO(4). In (I), the PO(4) tetrahedra share vertices to produce corrugated ribbons along the c direction, while in (II) they form P(4)O(12) rings arranged in layers perpendicular to the c axis. In both structures, isolated GdO(8) polyhedra link the phosphate anions into a three-dimensional framework with channels containing the NH(4)(+) cations. The Gd and N atoms are located in general positions in (I) and on twofold axes in (II).

Vital Dye Uptake of YO-PRO-1 and DASPEI Depends Upon Mechanoelectrical Transduction Function in Zebrafish Hair Cells.

Purpose: Vital dyes allow the visualization of cells in vivo without causing tissue damage, making them a useful tool for studying lateral line and inner ear hair cells in living zebrafish and other vertebrates. FM1-43, YO-PRO-1, and DASPEI are three vital dyes commonly used for hair cell visualization. While it has been established that FM1-43 enters hair cells of zebrafish and other organisms through the mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) channel, the mechanism of entry into hair cells for YO-PRO-1 and DASPEI has not been established despite widespread use.

The necessity for high operational temperatures presents a considerable obstacle to the commercial viability of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The introduction of active co-dopant ions to polycrystalline solid structures can directly impact the physiochemical and electrical properties of the resulting composites including crystallite size, lattice parameters, ionic and electronic conductivity, sinterability, and mechanical strength. This study proposes cobalt-iron-substituted gadolinium-doped ceria (CoFeGDC) as an innovative, nickel-free anode composite for developing ceramic fuel cells.

We developed a state-of-the-art, high-sensitivity, low-stray-light standoff deep-ultraviolet (DUV) Raman spectrometer for the trace detection of resonance Raman-enhanced chemical species. As an excitation source for Raman measurements, we utilized our recently developed, second-generation, miniaturized, diode-pumped, solid-state neodymium-doped gadolinium orthovanadate (Nd:GdVO) laser that generates quasi-continuous wave 228 nm light. This 228 nm excitation enhances the Raman intensities of vibrations of NO groups in explosive molecules, aromatic groups in biological molecules, and various aromatic hydrocarbons.

Iron is an essential element for plant and animal life and is found in soil, fresh waters and marine waters. The Fe ion is a vital prosthetic group and cofactor to mitochondrial electron transport complexes and numerous proteins involved in normal functioning. Despite its importance to life-sustaining processes, overexposure results in toxicity.

From the Guerbet Research and Innovation Department, Aulnay-sous-Bois.
Purpose: To date, the analysis of gadolinium (Gd) speciation in the brain of animals administered with macrocyclic and linear Gd-based contrast agents (GBCAs) has been limited to Gd soluble in mild buffers. Under such conditions, less than 30% of the brain tissue was solubilized and the extraction recoveries of GBCAs into the aqueous phase were poor, especially in the case of the linear GBCAs. The aim of this study was to find the conditions to solubilize the brain tissue (quasi-)completely while preserving the Gd species present.
