WINOGRADSKY REVIEW The geomicrobiology of gold

Investigating Bacteria with the Winogradsky Column

As an investigation that was part of a larger module, a Winogradsky Column was developed to culture a mixed flora of bacteria. A column was created and other additional columns were started with differing conditions to determine the effects of bacterial growth. Extensions were developed to help expand the use of the Winogradsky Column as a teaching tool.

A systematic review of gold nanoparticles as novel cancer therapeutics

Objective(s):The current systematic study has reviewed the therapeutic potential of gold nanoparticles as nano radiosensitizers for cancer radiation therapy.   Materials and Methods: This study was done to review nano radiosensitizers. PubMed, Ovid Medline, Science Direct, SCOPUS, ISI web of knowledge, Springer databases were searched from 2000 to September 2013 to identify appropriate studies....

Evaluation of gold nanoparticles radio sensitization effect in radiation therapy of cancer: review article

In recent years, the use of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in radiation therapy has been studied by experimentation and Monte Carlo simulation repeatedly. Although the idea of increasing doses has been raised by high-atomic elements since decades ago, but due to the adaptation of gold nanoparticles with the biological system, scientists have incited more about the various uses of these materials in ...

Exploration of hidden Pb-Zn deposit through geomicrobiological studies at Irankuh area, Iran

Different methods have been developed for mineral exploration so far, amongst which biological-based methods known as geomicrobiological studies are of the most recent ones. Geomicrobiology as an interdisciplinary approach has achieved great progresses during the past two decades and involves the study of microbes in a number of fundamental geological processes, both in the past and present. Th...
