Toxicity bioassays are important tools to determine biological effects of chemical agents on species. The questions remained on, what effects have been imposed on each of the different molecular site of cells by chemical exposure and how to find a pattern for chemical toxicity. To address the questions, HepG2 cell lines were exposed to the different concentrations of cisplatin for 24 hours to r...

Herein, we show it is possible to produce wholly inorganic chemical gardens from a cationic polyoxometalate (POM) seed in an anionic POM solution, demonstrating a wholly POM-based chemical garden system that produces architectures over a wide concentration range. Six concentration dependent growth regimes have been discovered and characterized: clouds, membranes, slugs, tubes, jetting and budding.

ABSTRACT- To investigate the effects of bio-chemical and organic fertilizers on yield and seeds NPK contents of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca), an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Kurdistan University in 2009 growing season. Treatments were included 1) control, 2) seeds inoculated with free-living N fixing bacteria (NFB), 3) seeds inoculated with phosphate-solubilizing b...

In this study, the Fenton process was used to investigate the color removal efficiency of Acid Red 52 and Basic Red 18 dye solutions by direct chemical oxidation. Color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) was successfully removed more than 99% and up to 92% respectively. This article would provide an easy assessment of the viability of using Fenton reagent in acidic conditions, so it is a prom...

in order to investigate the effects of applying three and five continuous periods of municipal solid waste (msw) with and without npk chemical fertilizer on the amount of micronutrient uptake by different parts of wheat, a pot experiment was conducted in split plot based on randomized complete block design with four replications in 2009. the main plot was a six-fertilizers level including contr...

The comparative study of the chemical elements’ concentration (mainly heavy metals) in the breast milk of 57 women and of the development of perinatal and neonatal pathology in their newborns is conducted. In newborns were diagnosed the following diseases: bronchitis, pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, aspiration syndrome, conjugated jaundice, edema syndrome, hemorrhagic syndrome, congen...

The chemical regeneration of granular activated carbon exhausted in a petrochemical wastewater unit was investigated. Gas chromatography and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy demonstrated that spent activated carbon carries large types of organic and inorganic materials. Diverse chemical solvents were adopted in comparison with traditional chemical solvents and regeneration efficiency was in...

We introduce a model of cavitation based on the multiphase Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) that allows for coupling between the hydrodynamics of a collapsing cavity and supported solute chemical species. We demonstrate that this model can also be coupled to deterministic or stochastic chemical reactions. In a two-species model of chemical reactions (with a major and a minor species), the major d...

Chemical screening using Drosophila melanogaster (the fruit fly) is vital in drug discovery, agricultural, and toxicological applications. Oviposition (egg laying) on chemically-doped agar plates is an important read-out metric used to quantitatively assess the biological fitness and behavioral responses of Drosophila. Current oviposition-based chemical screening studies are inaccurate, labor-i...
