Design and Fabrication of an Improved Single-Column Chromatographic Separation Process

In this work, an improved single-column chromatographic (ISCC) separation process is proposed. The term `improved' refers to both conceptual and physical modifications compared to the available single-column processes, including a novel fraction collection scheme and allowing overlapped peaks from adjacent cycles. Also the fraction collection mechanism was modified in order to facilitate online...

A Novel Biological Dosimetry Method for Monitoring Occupational Radiation Exposure in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Wards: From Radiation Dosimetry to Biological Effects

Background and Objective: Professional radiation workers are occupationally exposed to long-term low levels of ionizing radiation. Occupational health hazards from radiation exposure, in a large occupational segment of the population, are of special concern. Biological dosimetry can be performed in addition to physical dosimetry with the aim of individual dose assessment and biological effects....

A “watershed Approach” to Tmdl Development

The State of Minnesota, in an effort to streamline the identification of impaired waters and subsequent TMDL development, has developed a watershed approach to condition monitoring and assessment similar to other states such as Ohio and Indiana. The watershed approach uses intensive biological monitoring (fish and macroinvertebrates) to determine biologically impaired stream reaches. Follow up ...
