The influence of uncertainties in biokinetic parameters for ammonia and nitrite oxidizing bacteria on the performance of a two-step nitrification model was evaluated using the Generalized Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) technique. The predictive capability of behavioral simulations generated using GLUE was assessed utilizing data from experiments comparing nitrification in the presence and absenc...

This study examined the feasibility of quantitatively evaluating multiple biokinetic models and established the validity of the different compartment models using an assembled water phantom. Most commercialized phantoms are made to survey the imaging system since this is essential to increase the diagnostic accuracy for quality assurance. In contrast, few customized phantoms are specifically ma...

Electrically superior triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) using 3D fabric and PDMS show great application potential for biokinetic energy harvesting multifunctional self-power devices. In this study, TENG with fabric-PDMS-fabric structure was produced various fabrics PDMS. The peak-to-peak output voltage of compared. changes due to vertical fibers. Also, the coefficient surface friction between...

The aim of this study was to develop a semi automatic image processing algorithm (AIPA) based on the simultaneous information provided by X-ray and radioisotopic images to determine the biokinetic models of Tc-99m radiopharmaceuticals from quantification of image radiation activity in murine models. These radioisotopic images were obtained by a CCD (charge couple device) camera coupled to an ul...

Biokinetic studies of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles involve systematic and quantitative analyses of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in plasma and tissues of whole animals after exposure. A full understanding of the biokinetics provides basic information about nanoparticle entry into systemic circulation, target organs of accumulation and toxicity, and elimination time, whic...

The systemic deposition of (239 + 240)Pu was determined by postmortem radiochemical analysis of the tissues from five whole-body donors to the United States Transuranium Registry (USTR). All were males with intakes typically occurring many years prior to death. The postmortem radiochemical results were compared with estimates of systemic deposition made with 13 different biokinetic models using...
