Background and Aims: Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) plays a pivotal role in the survival of hematologic and solid tumors, and is known as a substantial oncogene. Studies have demonstrated the altered expression of Mcl-1 has been linked to malignancy development and poor prognosis. In this research, we have studied the expression of Mcl-1 mRNA in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients and det...

BACKGROUND The purpose of study was to evaluate and compare chemical quality of Iranian bottled drinking water reported on manufacturer's labeling and standards. METHODS This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study and done during July to December 2008. The bottled mineral water collected from shops randomly were analyzed for all parameters address on manufacturer's labeling and the res...

This study investigates the use of DC sputtering, physical vapor deposition as a facile method for creating ultralow loading, Au/C electrodes in detection As (III) water. The sputtered nanofilm on carbon papers, substantially reduces amount Au consumed per electrode, <10 μg cm−2, compared to wire, foil, or screen-printed electrodes. Linear stripping voltammetry (LSV) was chosen analytical simpl...

One of the risks geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) is leakage injected CO2 into overlying groundwater resources, resulting in potential deterioration quality due to increase acidity, release trace metals and organic compounds, changes microbial activities. A large number studies have been conducted evaluate various aspects impact on aquifers using natural analog, laboratory experiments, field...

Arsenic (As) removal from portable water bodies using the nanotechnology-based adsorption technique offers a unique method to lower As contamination below World Health Organization’s (WHO) maximum contaminant level (MCL). This work promotes systematic methodological-based study by optimizing different parameters that affect TiO2/γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposites (T/M NCs) prepared with green, facile, and ...

Residual herbicides regularly used in conjunction with conservation tillage to produce corn ( L.) and soybean [ (L.) Merr] are often detected in surface water at concentrations that exceed their U.S. maximum contaminant levels (MCL) and ecological standards. These risks might be reduced by planting glyphosate-tolerant varieties of these crops and totally or partially replacing the residual herb...

This paper compares EPA’s ex ante cost analysis of the 2001 maximum contaminant limit (MCL) for Arsenic in Drinking Water to an ex post assessment of the costs. Because comprehensive cost information for installed treatment technologies or other mitigation strategies pursued by water systems to meet the new standard is not available, this case study relies upon ex post cost data from EPA Demons...

The Kaw Nation has been collecting water, sediment, and fish samples from Lake upper Arkansas River 2007 to present examine the concentrations of Mercury other heavy metals protect health tribal members. is in North-Central part Oklahoma. a permanent water body constructed 1976 by Army Corps Engineers. consistently fed tributaries as runoff coming all way Colorado through Kansas surface area 26...

Natural gas has become a leading source of alternative energy with the advent of techniques to economically extract gas reserves from deep shale formations. Here, we present an assessment of private well water quality in aquifers overlying the Barnett Shale formation of North Texas. We evaluated samples from 100 private drinking water wells using analytical chemistry techniques. Analyses reveal...

This study investigated the effect of refinery effluents on different sources of potable water supply in two areas of Niger Delta contiguous host and impacted on communities of Delta State, Nigeria (surface water, shallow well water and borehole water) in Ekpan, its adjoining communities and creeks. Since open and underground water bodies are regarded as final recipient of most environmental po...
