Soil samples were collected using grid method from several electronic repair workshops in Benin City, a control (TS) which was site with no activity and DTS thirty meters away the at depth of 0-15cm. The physiochemical properties carried out standard methods. Heavy metals determined Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), while sequential extraction European community Bureau Reference (BCR) ...

The recovery of sludge produced in the wastewater treatment process WWTPs is often limited by high content toxic forms contaminants both an inorganic and organic nature. One options for effective world’s ever-increasing quantities sewage pyrolysis process. Thermochemical conversion emerging as a promising method treating these heterogeneous highly complex wastes with increasing research work. P...

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is caused by the constitutively active Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase. This fusion protein is generated by the Philadelphia translocation t(9;22). CML is a progressive condition that invariably advances from a drug-sensitive to a drug-resistant, aggressive, acute leukemia. The mechanisms responsible for this progression are largely unknown; however, in many cases, progre...

Resistance of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) to tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate (IM) is most often due to point mutations in the Bcr-Abl fusion gene. T315I mutation (resulting in substitution of Ile for a Thr residue at the "gatekeeper" position 315) raises particular concern, because it also provides resistance to second-generation kinase inhibitors already approved for clinical us...

sive disappearance of the V379I BCR-ABL allele and its replacement by a novel BCR-ABL allele (Figure 1, lanes 4-6, band c). Direct sequencing further characterized a double mutation V379I and T315I (Figure S1, available at the Blood website; see the Supplemental Figure link at the top of the online letter). It is noteworthy that the 2 mutations were present on the same allele, since only 1 band...

This paper presents a general approach to sequential blind extraction of instantaneously mixed sources for several major ill-conditioned cases as well as the regular case of full column rank mixing matrices. Four ill-conditioned cases are considered: The mixing matrix is square but singular; the number of sensors is less than that of sources; the number of sensors is larger than that of sources...

Sequential ultrasound-microwave associated extraction (SUMAE) is a combination of ultrasound waves and microwaves energies in which ultrasonic extraction is used as a pretreatment. It was performed to extract essential oil from Zataria multiflora. The extraction conditions were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) and Central Composite Design (CCD). The antioxidant and antibacterial ...

In the present study, the energetic and economic modeling of lentil and chickpea production in Esfahan province of Iran was conducted using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and linear regression. Data were taken by interviewing and visiting of 140 lentil farms and 110 chickpea farms during 2014-2015 production period. The results showed that the yield and total energy consumpti...

Background: The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) characterized by t (9; 22) (q34; q11.2) is a reciprocal translocation giving rise to a chimeric BCR-ABL fusion gene. Incidence of Ph chromosome is over 98% in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and around 20% in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The finding of this fusion gene is essential for diagnosis of CML by detection of various fusi...

Sixteen USEPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) extracted by Soxhlet extraction (S-PAHs) with dichloromethane and routine accelerated solvent extraction (A-PAHs) with 1:1 toluene/methanol, respectively, were investigated in 24 soil samples from two cities in the center of the Pearl River Delta, South China. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, methylphenanthrene and perylene, in two...
