Single and sequential extraction procedures are used for studying element mobility and availability in solid matrices, like soils, sediments, sludge, and airborne particulate matter. In the first part of this review we reported an overview on these procedures and described the applications of chemometric uni- and bivariate techniques and of multivariate pattern recognition techniques based on v...

PURPOSE Limited information is available comparing toxicity of accelerated radiotherapy (RT) to that of standard fractionation RT for early stage breast cancer. We report early and late toxicities of two prone regimens of accelerated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with a concomitant boost (CB) to the tumor bed delivered over 3 or 5 weeks as compared to standard 6 week RT with a se...

Background: The exposure of cell lines to low-dose irradiation leads to changes at molecular level, which may induce adaptive response. We examined radio-adaptive doses effect on human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT29) and human fetal fibroblasts (MRC5) cell line followed by hyper and hypo fractionation regimes, with main purpose to decrease cell viability in HT29, and at the same time...

Impact polypropylene (PP) copolymers (IPCs) are important materials for many commercial applications. These usually synthetized through different methods involving two consecutive reactions in the same phase or phases. Here, a laboratory-scale synthesis method based on sequential liquid- and gas-phase two-step process single reactor is developed. Propylene homopolymers IPCs were synthesized wit...

An ultrafiltration-based process for oligosaccharide and peptide fractionation from a macroalgae subcritical water hydrolysate was studied. A wide range of separation results obtained depending on the membrane pore. 100 kDa cut-off size enough clarification with total retention colloidal materials. Oligosaccharides present in showed highest all membranes, glucans mostly, followed by galactans, ...

Phosphorus is essential to all forms of life and its contribution towards aiding the native soil fertility sustaining it, well known. With passage time, P added undergoes transformation into various unavailable forms. Native compounds, some being highly insoluble are mostly for plant uptake. The availability phosphorus plants depends on properties, pH, soluble iron, aluminum manganese, calcium ...

Background—Fractionated electrograms are used by some as targets for ablation in atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Fractionation has been demonstrated to result when there is repetitive or asynchronous activation of separate groups of cells within the recording region of a mapping electrode(s). Methods and Results—Using a computer model, we generated tissue activation patterns with increasing...

abstract a study was conducted to evaluate the effect of incubation time, sewage sludge and clay content on the distribution of nickel and cadmium in different fractions of selected calcareous soils. to meet this purpose, an experiment with two different soils (4 and 30 percent caco3), two different textures (8 and 40 percent clay), two levels of nickel (0 and 100 mg.kg-1), two levels of cadmiu...

returning crop residues into the soil as a source of organic matter are an important source of copper and can play an important role in the soil fertility. in addition to the role of the organic matter in increasing the concentration of micronutrients in soil solution, attention should be also paid to the role of the kind and the quantity of the root’s exudates released in response to the incor...
