This study was designed to explore further the relationship between cell proliferation and the induction of early putative preneoplastic lesions by carcinogens. Rats were given a non-necrogenic dose of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine 24 hr before being subjected to partial hepatectomy. Beginning 4 hr later, hydrocortisone was injected 10 times at 4-hr intervals to delay progression through the cell cycle...

The electrochemical sensor for detecting hydrogen sulfide was fabricated. H2S gas molecules pass through polytetrafluoroethylene membrane with 0.22 mm pore size. Carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) were used to fabricate working and counter electrodes. It can be seen from Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) images of the working electrode that...

Artificial enzyme mimics have attracted considerable interest due to easy denaturation and leakage of enzymes during their storage and immobilization procedure. Herein we describe the design of a novel mimic peroxidase, a nanostructure of sheet-like FeS prepared by a simple micelle-assisted synthetic method. Such a nanostructure has a large specific surface area and high peroxidase-like activit...

To address drift in chemical sensing, an extensive dataset was collected over a period of three years. An array of 16 metal-oxide gas sensors was exposed to six different volatile organic compounds at different concentration levels under tightly-controlled operating conditions. Moreover, the generated dataset is suitable to tackle a variety of challenges in chemical sensing such as sensor drift...

Vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) layers were synthesized on Fe-coated low-cost alumina substrates using radio-frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (RF-PECVD) technology. A miniaturized CNT-based gas sensor array was developed for monitoring landfill gas (LFG) at a temperature of 150 degrees C. The sensor array was composed of 4 sensing elements with unmodified CNT, and C...
