We revisit the importance of electron-stimulated Desorption (ESD) as a source of neutral sodium (Na) atoms and Na ^+ ions in Mercury’s exosphere and ionosphere. For the first time we have calibrated the ESD yield per electron as a function of electron energy in the energy range 100–950 eV. This cali...

Mercury (Hg) is a toxic element released into the environment mainly by anthropic activities. Consequently, the improvement for Hg determination in environmental samples is of great interest. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) is considered an adequate method to determine several elemen...

Salinomycin is a polyether ionophorous antibiotic with promising antineoplastic properties. Published studies have revealed that the compound also exerts pronounced antidotal activity against cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) intoxications. It has been proven that salinomycin with Cd(II) forms a coordinati...
