Objective(s):An earlier meta-analysis on gene expression data derived from four microarray, two cDNA library, and one SAGE experiment had identified RGS5 as one of only ten non-housekeeping genes that were reported to be expressed in human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells by all studies. RGS5 encodes regulator of G-protein signaling-5. The TM tissue is the route of aqueous fluid outflow, and is r...

There is growing worry that drinking water can be affected by contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), potentially threatening human health. In this study, a wide range CECs (n = 177), including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and other compounds, were analysed in raw collected from treatment plants (DWTPs) Europe Asia 13). The impact activities was reflected larg...

An efficient and reusable adsorbent, namely 3-mercaptopropionic acid modified tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) grafted MnFe2O4 nanoparticles (MPA-TEOS-MnFe2O4 NPs) was synthesized and used for the extraction and preconcentration of trace amount of Al (III) and Cr (III) ions in water samples. MnFe2O4 NPs were prepared by chemical c...

Dynamics of laser radiation – metal target interaction in water at 1064 nm by applying Mach-Zehnder interference technique was studied. The mechanism of generating the well developed regime of evaporation of a metal surface and a spherical shock wave in water is proposed. Critical intensities of the NIR for the well developed evaporation of silver and gold targets were determined. Dynamics of s...

We report a simple system for producing [15O]H2O from 15N in a nitrogen/hydrogen gas target with recycling of the target nitrogen, allowing production on low-energy proton-only accelerators with minimal consumption of isotopically enriched 15N. The radiolabeled water is separated from the target gas and radiolytically produced ammonia by temporary freezing in a small trap at -40 degrees C.

it was shown that permethrin resistance in adult anopheles stephensi is due to at least three separate mechanisms. cytochrome p-450s and esterases are responsible for two-thirds of the 8-fold enhanced tolerance of the dub-apr resistant strain as compared with a sensitive strain, ind-s. it was postulated that target site insensitivity is also involved. to test this hypothesis, we conducted a neu...

Some national drinking water guidelines provide guidance on how to define 'safe' drinking water. Regarding microbial water quality, a common position is that the chance of an individual becoming infected by some reference waterborne pathogen (e.g. Cryptsporidium) present in the drinking water should < 10(-4) in any year. However the instantaneous levels of risk to a water consumer vary over the...

The rim wall of water formed from even a modestly-sized marine impact may be kilometers in height. Although modeling has shown that this wave swiftly breaks and relatively rapidly loses energy during outwards travel the site, portion collapses inwards generate resurge flow with tremendous transport energy. Here we compare deposits generated by ocean inside one largest marine-target craters on E...

Configurations of a solid pion production target for the neutrino factory that includes a water jacket are simulated in the hadron production code MARS15 [1]. The addition of water coolant and extension of the target into slices may introduce the effects of: yield degredation from pion reabsorption, additional heat load on the target, and increased scatter in arrival times. These three effects ...

solid phase extraction (spe) cartridge embedded with octadecyl c18 chain bounded to silica particles were used for the isolation and trace enrichment of pesticides from water samples collected from cotton, rice growing and municipal areas. the eluents were analyzed with high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) using methanol (100%) as mobiles phase at different uv-visible wavelengths. ddt ...
