Presenting water quality data for stakeholder meetings is often challenging. Section 603 of the Energy Act requires dam owners to hold stakeholder meetings on lake water quality issues during the FERC re-licensing process. Traditionally, maps, tables, and graphs have been distributed at stakeholder meetings to present water quality data, which is often perceived as misleading and confusing. Thi...

WO TYPES of clinical remission have been identified T in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANL). In one form, remission is characterized by repopulation of the marrow by normal stem cells; in the other type, the abnormal clone found at diagnosis persists throughout remi~sion.'.~ Among the explanations for the latter occurrences ("clonal remissions"), the hypothesis we favor is that in some patient...

This study examined the economic impacts of woody biomass utilization for bioenergy conversion in Mississippi. Analysis of economic impacts was organized around three groups of events: (1) recovery of logging and thinning residues, (2) electricity generation from cofiring systems, and (3) construction and operation of biofuel facilities. Input–output analysis was used to simulate economic impac...

Transportation economic evaluation quantifies and monetizes transport project’s benefits and costs. It can significantly influence planning decisions. This report critically examines conventional transport economic evaluation. It integrates two different but overlapping perspectives: planners interested in comprehensive and multi-modal transport system analysis and economists interested in econ...

We explore the effect of nuclear mass on the laser-driven electron localization process. We dissociate a mixed H2/D2 target with intense, carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) stable 6 fs laser pulses and detect the products in a reaction microscope. We observe a very strong CEP-dependent asymmetry in proton/deuteron emission for low dissociation energy channels. This asymmetry is stronger for H2 than f...

In recent years growing attention has been paid to the nasal drug administration as an alternative route of administration for systemically active drugs such as proteins, peptides, hormones, and other drugs which are poorly absorbed orally and extensively metabolized in liver. Nasal route is easily accessible, convenient and reliable route with a porous endothelial membrane and a highly vascula...

Aim of present study is to prepare PLGA nanoparticle. Nanoparticles were prepared by double emulsification solvent evaporation method. Various formulation and process variable which could affect the preparation and properties of nanoparticles. These formulation variables were identified and optimized to get uniform preparation with highest encapsulation efficiency. Formulation variables include...

Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is generated by spermatozoa from human (Aitken and Clarkson, 1987; Alvarez et al., 1987), rat (Vernet et al., 2001), mouse (Fisher and Aitken, 1997), rabbit (Holland et al., 1982) and buffalo (Roy and Atreja, 2008). ROS initiates signaling pathways regulating key processes including capacitation (Aitken et al., 1998;Aitken et al., 1996;deLamirande et al...

Non transferrin bound iron comprises the forms of plasma iron which are not bound to its traditional transporter plasma protein transferrin. Such forms of iron have been suggested to be toxic due to its redox activity through Haiber weiss and Fenton chemistry. Non transferrin bound iron has been widely studied in patients suffering from iron overload conditions like hemochromatosis and thalasse...
