Can microwave radiation at high temperatures reduce the toxicity of fibrous crocidolite asbestos?
Exposure of animals and humans to crocidolite asbestos fibers produces fibrosis and two types of cancers: bronchogenic carcinoma and mesothelioma. It is therefore desirable to reduce toxicity of these fibers without affecting their other characteristics. In this study, commercial crocidolite asbestos fibers were radiated with microwave radiation at different temperatures. Radiated fibers and no...
متن کاملRole of reactive oxygen metabolites in crocidolite asbestos toxicity to mouse macrophages.
Crocidolite asbestos is toxic to macrophages in vitro. We hypothesize that this toxicity is mediated by the generation of reactive oxygen metabolites. Elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages were found to release reactive oxygen metabolites upon incubation with crocidolite asbestos in vitro. Crocidolite toxicity to both primary cultures of mouse peritoneal macrophages and P388D1 cells, a mouse ma...
متن کاملTwo-port microwave calibration at millikelvin temperatures.
In this work we introduce a system for 2-port microwave calibration at millikelvin temperatures operating at the coldest stage of a dilution refrigerator by use of an adapted thru-reflect-line algorithm. We show that this can be an effective tool for characterizing common 50 Ω microwave components with better than 0.1 dB accuracy at temperatures that are relevant to many current experiments in ...
متن کاملCytotoxicity of Long and Short Crocidolite Asbestos Fibers
Fiber length and diameter are important factors in the pathogenicity of asbestos. We examined the relative toxicity of long and short crocidolite asbestos fibers in vitro and in vivo. Both long and short crocidolite asbestos fibers were toxic to elicited macrophages in vitro. Similar to native crocidolite asbestos, long and short Tibers stimulated the release of reactive oxygen metabolites from...
متن کاملThe Ballistic Behavior of High Strength, Low Alloy-100 Steel at Sub-zero Temperatures
The ballistic response of the high strength, low alloy (HSLA-100) steel at ambient and temperatures of -400°C, -800°C and -1960°C is investigated in this work. Lambert-jonas equation is used to fit the experimental results into a curve. The effect of quenching on ballistic behavior of HSLA-100 is also studied. The experiments are conducted on 3mm thick rectangular specimens impacted by blunt ti...
