We examined cell killing and chromatid damage in primary human bronchial epithelial cells irradiated with high-energy 56Fe ions. Cells were irradiated with graded doses of 56Fe ions (1 GeV/nucleon) accelerated with the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The survival curves for cells plated 1 h after irradiation (immediate plating) showed little or no shoulder. H...

Fast charging is a key requirement for customer acceptance of battery electric vehicles. lithium-ion batteries limited by lithium plating, an undesired side reaction that leads to rapid degradation and poses potential safety hazard. In order approach but not exceed the plating current limit during fast charging, variety analytical tools have been developed detect plating. this publication, we p...

objective:mold contamination of cakes and the possibility of mold growth can pose a serious health problem. bakery products include various ingredients, which regularly contain molds. these microorganisms on cakes can come from the air, contaminated packaging materials and other sources.methods: in this study, a total of 500 fungal isolates representing 36 species, were identified from cake sam...

background: biomonitoring provides a useful tool to estimate the genetic risk from exposure to genotoxic agents. the aim of this study was to assess the potential cytogenetic damage associated with occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium by using micronuclei (mn) as a biomarker. methods: this was a cross-sectional study and all participants were males. both the exposed and control individu...

Cu-based self-lubricating materials can effectively adapt to complex natural environments and ensure consistency in used for switch transitions. These were tested through interface reinforcement research, improving their mechanical tribological properties providing a theoretical basis new slide baseplate materials. Results showed that the coefficient of friction wear weight loss decreased with ...

objective: the existence of female germ-line stem cells (fgscs) has been the subject of a wide range of recent studies. successful isolation and culture of fgscs could facilitate studies on regenerative medicine and infertility treatments in the near future. our aim in the present study was evaluation of the most commonly used techniques in enrichment of fgscs and in establishment of the best p...
