Introduction Exposure to chronic levels of ionizing radiation could be detrimental to health even at very low doses. Calabar free trade zone (CFTZ) was established to promote export business in Nigeria and it is yet to produce exposure data of the Zone. Materials and Methods The Zone was divided into three categories depending on the type of business. Category A had facilities with manufacturin...

Exposure to low doses of heavy particles and protons, which will be encountered during long-term exploratory class missions to other planets, can cause deficits in cognitive performance. These deficits are similar to those observed in aged animals. The long-term effects of such exposures and their relationship to the short-term effects and to aging remain to be established. Two-month old rats w...

The effect of warm water dip in combination with irradiation on quality of fresh-cut green onions was studied. Fresh-cut green onions were treated with and without warm water (50 °C for 20 s) and packaged prior to irradiation at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 kGy, then stored at 4 °C for 14 d. Color, texture, decay percentage, electrolyte leakage, sensory qualities, and total aerobic count (TAC) were mea...

Psoriasis is a frequently encountered inflammatory skin disease with unclear etiology and no curative therapy. Enoxaparin low-molecular weight heparin analogue. Heparin its analogues in low doses have antiproliferative immunomodulatory effects. Low-dose enoxaparin has inhibitory effects on T cell-mediated immune reactions. lymphocytes play key role the immunpathogenesis of psoriasis. The aim th...

In this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene on single walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated.  The effect of contact time, pH, initial concentration of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, adsorbent dosage and temperature on its adsorption has been carried out in order to find optimum adsorption conditions. Adsorption isotherms and related constants were also determined. Results showed that ...
