results long-term exposure to lead acetate caused histopathology effects including dilatation, congestion, nuclei heterochromatic effects, increase in diameter of renal tubules and urinary barrier thickness in rabbit renal tissue. conclusions quantitative and qualitative results of long-term lead acetate exposure showed many histopathology side-effects, especially in the urinary barrier. materi...

conclusions our results demonstrated the antimicrobial properties of frog skin as a wound dressing, which has antimicrobial effects per se. this biological dressing shows promise as an effective biological wound dressing insofar as not only is it capable of resisting microbes and accelerating wound healing but also it is cost-effective and easy to use. results in the microbial studies, the bact...

  According to statistics released by agricultural insurance fund (AIF) less than 4 million acres out of 90 million acres has been covered by Pastures Insurance. This observation along with several facts motivated authors to study possible barriers which Pastures Insurance has been encountered in practice. The research population included all the experts in agricultural insurance fund. Small po...

The oxygen (O2) barrier properties of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) have been widely investigated, but for other gases the available data are usually limited to dry conditions due limitations in measurement equipment. Innovative permeation systems with low detection limits required determine gas transmission rate (GTR) gases, such as nitrogen (N2) at varying temperature and relative h...

Infrared detector barrier heterostructures with strained layer superlattice (SLS) absorbers different periods were compared. The first was a reference using conventional heterostructure low temperature energy gap corresponding to wavelength of 10 ?m in 2- ?m-thick undoped absorber 10.9 nm period InAs/InAsSb 0.36 compositions grown directly on GaSb substrate. second structure, contrast, used sig...

The design, construction, and characterization of the Multi-Sampling Ionization Chamber, MuSIC@Indiana, are described. This detector provides efficient accurate measurement fusion cross-section at near-barrier energies. response to low-intensity beams $^{17,18}$O, $^{19}$F, $^{23}$Na, $^{24,26}$Mg, $^{27}$Al, $^{28}$Si E$_{lab}$ = 50-60 MeV was examined. MuSIC@Indiana commissioned by measuring ...

background: dielectric barrier discharge (dbd), a source of non-thermal plasma, is used in surface decontamination. objective: to study the effect of dbd plasma treatment, we evaluated the effect of plasma exposure time on inactivation of bacillus subtilis. results: applying the dbd plasma to the culture of b. subtilis caused complete sterilization of the surface without any thermal effects. in...
