Recent Applications of DNA Microarray Technology to Toxicology and Ecotoxicology
Gene expression is a unique way of characterizing how cells and organisms adapt to changes in the external environment. The measurements of gene expression levels upon exposure to a chemical can be used both to provide information about the mechanism of action of the toxicant and to form a sort of "genetic signature" for the identification of toxic products. The development of high-quality, com...
متن کاملToxicology and ecotoxicology of persistent organic microcontaminants in aquatic systems.
Persistent organic pollutants (POP) are a heterogeneous group of chemicals widely distributed in the aquatic environment. Some classes cause adverse effects in the biota at minute concentrations, persist in the environment for a long time, and bioaccumulate in animal tissues. Several strategies exist today to monitor their levels and evaluate their effects in the environment. Particularly, some...
متن کاملheterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings
from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...
The Predictive Toxicology Evaluation Challenge
Can an AI program contribute to scientific discovery? An area where this gauntlet has been thrown is that of understanding the mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis. One approach is to obtain Structure-Activity Relationships (SARs) relating molecular structure to cancerous activity. Vital to this are the rodent carcinogenicity tests conducted within the US National Toxicology Program by the Nat...
متن کاملComputational Intelligence and Predictive Toxicology
In this contribution we present investigations about the use of computational intelligence for toxicity prediction of pesticides. Therefore different molecular descriptors are computed and the correlation behavior of the different descriptors in the descriptor space is studied. In a first step 164 pesticides are considered and 175 descriptors are taken into account. From this set of data prelim...
