Recently, to eliminate problems associated with seed type sources, RadioMed Corporation (Tyngsboro, MA) introduced RadioCoil 103Pd sources for interstitial prostate implants. The RadioCoil sources are available in integral lengths ranging from 1.0 cm to 6.0 cm. In this project, dosimetric characteristics of these sources were determined following the TG-43U1 recommendations, with consideration ...

the levels of 19 organochlorine pesticides (ocps) in surface water and under water sedimentsfrom tanks located nearby the prime agricultural areas of kanyakumari district, tamil nadu, india wereinvestigated to evaluate their pollution risks. a total of 36 surface water samples at 9 sampling sites and27 sediment samples at 9 sampling stations were collected from tanks, which were the water sourc...

The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence and track the sources of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli isolates of water sources. Water and fecal samples were collected and analyzed for the presence of E. coli isolates and antibiotic susceptibility using different biochemical testing methods. The results of the study showed that nearly 84.3% of the water sources were contam...

The severe harmful impact of atmospheric aerosols over the environment leads to create diverse human interests and concerns. Various progressive steps were taken by researchers scientists understand fundamentals, such as nucleation growth mechanisms, formalization particle dynamics, characterization mechanisms for particle-size dispensation, detection chemical processes sources. increase in pop...

Groundwater is the main water supply for agricultural and industrial needs in many coastal plains worldwide. depletion often triggers land subsidence, which threatens manmade infrastructure activities aggravates other geohazards. We applied a multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar technique to Sentinel-1 datasets detect ground motion Gioia Tauro plain (Calabria, Southern Italy)...

Diseases associated with viruses also found in environmental samples cause major health problems in developing countries. Little is known about the frequency and pattern of viral contamination of drinking water sources in these resource-poor settings. We established a method to analyze 10 liters of water from drinking water sources in a rural area of Benin for the presence of adenoviruses and r...

Tropical Storm Jeanne struck Haiti in September 2004, causing widespread flooding which contaminated water sources, displaced thousands of families and killed approximately 2,800 people. Local leaders distributed PūR, a flocculent-disinfectant product for household water treatment, to affected populations. We evaluated knowledge, attitudes, practices, and drinking water quality among a sample o...

Objectives : This review is to study the electricity generating energy sources in world at large and India particular, considering impact on environment arrive which needs focus future. Methods The data various aspects like greenhouse emissions, deaths, health effects, levelized cost of electricity, return investment, water, land requirements for have been studied. Findings need reduction from ...
