Background: Industrial pollution of metals is a serious environmental concern. The presence Sarcheshmeh copper (Cu) mine and the possibility soil pollution, were primary motivations for evaluating heavy in this area. Methods: A total 171 10 sediment samples collected randomly from study area Cu, aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) determination. USEPA method was used to acid...

Normal human serum contains an inactivator of chemotactic factors for neutrophilic leukocytes. The chemotactic factor inactivator (CF-I) remains soluble when serum is fractionated with ammonium sulfate (at 45% saturation), directly and irreversibly inactivates chemotactic factors, and it has a broad spectrum of activity as indicated by its inactivation of the chemotactic fragments of human C3 a...

Membrane applications for the separation of surfactant-stabilized emulsions are often constrained by a deficiency in permeability and anti-fouling properties. Herein, special wetted cotton fabric with protective layer (P-MH@CF) durable performance was synthesized two-step method, which related to interfacial ion migration technology unilateral spraying treatment. Permeability water P-MH@CF memb...

Respiratory treatment for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients includes use of respiratory devices. Contamination of airway clearance devices has not been adequately explored. We aimed to determine whether airway clearance devices are contaminated after use and whether cleaning guidelines for nebulizers are as effective for airway clearance devices. Patients brought their airway clearance devices to t...

There are serious health and environmental problems caused by the use of diesel generators for backup power at many locations. For this purpose, ten different locations (Baharykon S1, Azadi 1 S2, 2 S3, Nasejan S4, Kuran S5, Nawroz S6, Kurdistan S7,92 Zanko S8, Nargz S9, Nishtiman S10) were selected. Three brands electrical used (B1 Cater piller, B2 Cummins, B3 Locally manufactured aggregates). ...

Although correlation filter (CF)-based visual tracking algorithms have achieved appealing results, there are still some problems to be solved. When the target object goes through long-term occlusions or scale variation, the correlation model used in existing CF-based algorithms will inevitably learn some non-target information or partial-target information. In order to avoid model contamination...

This work contributes to the monitoring of heavy metal pollution Agricultural soils, Katsina State Nigeria, using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The contamination soil samples were analyzed based on Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF), (CF), load (PLI) and potential ecological risk (PERI). health risks evaluated metals estimated Hazard Quotient (HQ) Index (HI)) evaluate p...

Antigens in a 4-week-old culture filtrate (CF) of Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium were separated in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and identified by Western blotting. The culture had minimal lysis of bacilli, giving a CF preparation consisting mainly of secreted proteins. Comparison with a similar CF of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with almost no contamination with int...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal inherited disorder and is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR). The CF lung expresses a profound proinflammatory phenotype that appears to be related to a constitutive hypersecretion of interleukin (IL)-8 from airway epithelial cells in response to microbial infection. Since overproduction of IL-8 in CF con...

Oil spillage is one of the common pollution events global water-soil ecosystems. A comprehensive investigation on heavy metals surface water and sediments was conducted after oil spill incident in Sela River its tributaries Sundarbans mangrove forest ecosystems, Bangladesh. Water sediment samples were collected from preselected sampling points River, elemental (Pb, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Fe, As, H...
