This study was conducted at the Hanna Reservoir located in the southwest of Isfahan Province. According to this study, chemical analyses were conducted to evaluate the magnitude and variations of COD, BOD5, O2, NH3+ and NO2-concentrations in the Hanna Reservoir. In the headwaters the magnitude values of BOD5, COD and early morning oxygen minima were quite identical to the recommended optimum le...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy in cancer cells is affected by sub-physiological hypoxia caused dysregulated and chaotic tumor microvasculature. However, current traditional O2-replenishing strategies are undergoing their own intrinsic deficiencies. In addition, resistance mechanisms activated during PDT also lead the present situation far from satisfactory. Methods: We propose a nitric oxi...

Recent experimental and theoretical results show that the collision pairs, O2⋅O2 and O2⋅N2, absorb a small but significant fraction of the globally incident, solar radiation (Pfeilsticker et al. 1997, Solomon et al. 1998, Mlawer et al. 1998). The contribution of the water vapor dimer to shortwave (SW) absorption, however, remains speculative due to uncertainties in both its abundance and its ab...
