Biological monitoring of exposure to chemicals has the objective of defining the so-called 'internal dose' or 'internal exposure level', and has been attempted by a variety of experimental approaches. Two categorical types of measurements can be made for this purpose: (1) measurement of concentrations of chemicals (or their metabolites) in body fluids or excreta; or (2) measurement of toxicolog...

treated sea water is the most significant source of water and surfactant floods. the various chemicals employed in treatment plants should be compatible with surfactant systems. based on surface tension experiments, the activity of these chemicals is examined over a wide range of concentrations in different solutions, including distillated water, sea water by using three types of surfactant mix...

A new capacitive biochip was developed using carboxy-CNT activated gold interdigitated (GID) capacitors immobilized with E. coli cells for the detection of cellular stress caused by chemicals. Here, acetic acid, H(2)O(2) and NaCl were employed as model chemicals to test the biochip and monitored the responses under AC electrical field by non-Faradaic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (nFEI...

in this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in moroccan holstein-friesian dairy cows. data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and

determining landslide size could be a difficult and expensive task. in this research, size parameters of 142 landslides recognized in tajan river basin, northern iran, have been assessed. the dataset was prepared through the extensive field surveys and using the satellite imagery available via google earth. dependence between landslides area (a-m2), volume (v-m3), and depth (d-m) was appointed ...
