Speciation in Metal Toxicity and Metal-Based Therapeutics
Metallic elements, ions and compounds produce varying degrees of toxicity in organisms with which they come into contact. Metal speciation is critical to understanding these adverse effects; the adjectives "heavy" and "toxic" are not helpful in describing the biological properties of individual elements, but detailed chemical structures are. As a broad generalization, the metallic form of an el...
متن کاملtask-based instruction, consciousness-raising and iranian efl learners acquisition and use of collocation
the present study sought to examine whether a task-based approach could have an impact on raising awareness of collocations. moreover, it sought to investigate the facilitative role of consciousness-raising tasks of collocations in the communicative instances of use. to this end, 68 intermediate learners of english were selected via a placement test. the participants were taught with classroom ...
15 صفحه اولassessing political stability and instability in central asia and caucasus; case study, azerbaijan and kyrgyzstan
منطقه ی آسیای مرکزی وقفقاز به عنوان منطقه ای تاریخی و به دلیل دارا بودن ذخایر عظیم هیدرو کربنی از اهمیت ویژه ای برخوردار است. کشورهای این منطقه از عوامل عمده ی بی ثباتی نظیر عوامل جغرافیایی، اقتصادی، امنیتی، اجتماعی و سیاسی رنج می برند. پس از فروپاشی اتحاد جماهیر شوروی کشورهای منطقه از نعمت استقلال ناخواسته ای برخوردار شدند که مشکلات فوق را برای آن ها چندین برابر می کرد. در این روند برخی از این...
15 صفحه اولToxicity Evaluation of Effluents from Dye and Dye Intermediate Producing Industries Using Daphnia Bioassay
Wastewater from seven dye and dye intermediate producing industries and a common effluent treatment plant was assessed to characterize the acute toxicity using Daphnia bioassay. The 24 and 48 h EC50 values and its confidence limits were estimated applying the probit analysis method. The 24 h EC50 values for different dye effluent samples A, B, C, D, E and F were 1.35, 17.32, 17.67, 29.18, 46.49...
متن کاملSpeciation Studies and Toxicity Assessment of Complex Heavy Metal Mixtures
The MicrotoxTM bioassay and polarographic techniques were used together to identify specific oxidation states and toxicity of metals. The bioassay is based on light reduction by bioluminescent bacteria upon exposure to toxicants. In polarography, a mercury drop substrate’s potential is changed, and the substance of interest is electrochemically reduced. Reduction current is proportional to its ...
