Currently, oil spill pollution is one of the major environmental concerns for sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) aquaculture. During spills, spraying chemical dispersants generally considered an efficient response. However, impact dispersant deployment during spills on cucumbers still less known. In this study, we treated with physically and chemically (by GM-2 dispersant) dispersed Oman cru...

Anionic phospholipids are largely absent from the external leaflet of the plasma membrane of mammalian cells under normal conditions. Exposure of phosphatidylserine on the cell surface occurs during apoptosis, necrosis, cell injury, cell activation, and malignant transformation. In the present study, we determined whether anionic phospholipids become exposed on tumor vasculature. A monoclonal a...

Carbon dioxide capture and storage is the primary way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale. critical link of this technology, in which achieve long-term problem be considered. The elastic anti-corrosion cement slurry key for successful carbon dioxide. In order develop storage, influence resin with both properties performance was investigated. dispersant, retarder, filtrate reduce...

linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (labs) is an anionic surfactant widely used all over the world. they will eventually end-up and accumulate in household or industrial sewage. due to their high foaming capabilities which can cause numerous problems in sewage treatment facilities as well as direct toxic effects on many different organisms in ecosystem they are generally considered as serious polluta...

In the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, we analyze the contribution of mutations E237A and V251T, together with the proline insertion P236', in the conversion of the charge selectivity from cationic to anionic. We show that the triple mutant exhibits spontaneous openings displaying anionic selectivity. Furthermore, at position 251, hydrophilic or even negatively charged residues are co...

BACKGROUND The obesity pandemic is associated with multiple major health concerns. In addition to diet and lifestyle, there is increasing evidence that environmental exposures to chemicals known as obesogens also may promote obesity. OBJECTIVES We investigated the massive environmental contamination resulting from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill, including the use of the oil dispersant ...
