The effects of five UICC asbestos samples, titanium dioxide, and quartz on the bovine red cell membrane have been studied in erythrocyte ghosts by the spin labelling technique. Analysis of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of two sulphydryl reactive spin labels and one fatty acid spin label in red cell ghosts showed modifications in membrane protein after asbestos treatment but ...

Human platelets were tested for the presence of proteins immunologically cross-reactive with red cell spectrin and protein 4.1 . As assessed by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. platelets were specifically reactive with affinity-purified rabbit antisera against red cell spectrin and protein 4.1 . The immunoreactive platelet constituents were further analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly...

Abstract Stationary sources of air pollution are disproportionately located in communities colour, but the causes for this disparity unclear. Here we assess whether racialized appraisals investment risk (‘red-lining’) undertaken by US federal Home Owners’ Loan Corporation 1930s influenced subsequent siting fossil fuel power plants. Across 8,871 neighbourhoods 196 urban areas, observed a stepwis...

Activated carbon prepared from Euphorbia tirucalli L wood (ETAC) by chemical activation with phosphoric acid has been analysed for the removal of Reactive Red and Reactive Blue dyes from aqueous solutions through batch adsorption technique. Lower solution pH favours the adsorption of reactive dyes. The amount of dye adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent increases with the increase in temperature ...

In this research, the efficiency of electrocoagulation treatment process using iron and aluminum electrodes to treat synthetic wastewater containing Reactive Red 24 (RR 24) was studied. The effects of parameters such as current density, pH, type of electrolyte, initial dye concentration, electrolyte concentration, temperature, and inter electrode distance on dye removal efficiency were investig...

microprocessor and cache subsystem F. Busaba M. A. Blake B. Curran M. Fee C. Jacobi P.-K. Mak B. R. Prasky C. R. Walters The IBM zEnterpriseA 196 (z196) system, announced in the second quarter of 2010, is the latest generation of the IBM System zA mainframe. The system is designed with a new microprocessor and memory subsystems, which distinguishes it from its z10A predecessor. The system has u...

Objectives: To determine the cancer incidence in Gipuzkoa (Spain) from 1998 to 2002 and describe time trends since 1986. Methods: The annual incidence of cancer in Gipuzkoa from 1998 to 2002 was estimated as a rate per 100,000 inhabitants. Incidence trends for the period 1986-2002 were studied for all cancers and for the main cancer sites using Poisson regression and Joinpoint regression for pr...

Release of textile azo dyes to the environment is an issue of health concern while the use of microorganisms has proved to be the best option for remediation. Thus, in the present study, a bacterial consortium consisting of Providencia rettgeri strain HSL1 and Pseudomonas sp. SUK1 has been investigated for degradation and detoxification of structurally different azo dyes. The consortium showed ...
