this article emphasizes the findings of a survey conducted to find out the views of students on the environmental education (ee) in iranian secondary school (ss) curriculum. a total of six hundred students from forty secondary schools, randomly selected ss from five zones in tehran city responded to the questionnaire. two research questions were asked while two hypotheses were tested in this st...

The Savannah River National Laboratory has evaluated several options for the disposition of stainless steel (SS)–clad plutonium metal alloy. One technologies under consideration is alloying material with SS. resulting SS-Pu alloy would be a nonproliferable waste form consisting secondary Pu composition region microencapsulated in refractory Two 8-kg ingots were made at SS-1.8Zr-0.4Pu alloys (in...

Abstract Tungsten (W) and stainless steel (SS) are well known for the high melting point good corrosion resistance respectively. Bimetallic W–SS structures would offer potential applications in extreme environments. In this study, a SS?W?SS sandwich structure is fabricated via special laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) method based on an ultrasonic-assisted deposition mechanism. Material characteri...

The impact of aerosol composition on cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity were analyzed in this study based on field experiments carried out at downtown Tianjin, China in September 2010. In the experiments, the CCN measurements were performed at supersaturation (SS) of 0.1 %, 0.2 % and 0.4 % using a thermal-gradient diffusion chamber (DMT CCNC), whereas the aerosol size distribution and com...

Effects of p67 on the mitochondrial oxidative state in the kidney of Dahl salt-sensitive rats: optical fluorescence 3-D cryoimaging. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 309: F377–F382, 2015. First published June 10, 2015; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00098.2015.—The goal of the present study was to quantify and correlate the...

This study reports the consequences of knocking out NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) oxidase 4 (Nox4) on the development of hypertension and kidney injury in the Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rat. Zinc finger nuclease injection of single-cell SS embryos was used to create an 8 base-pair frame-shift deletion of Nox4, resulting in a loss of the ≈68 kDa band in Western blot analysis ...

Alternative splicing (AS) provides a potent mechanism for increasing protein diversity and modulating gene expression levels. How alternate splice sites are selected by the splicing machinery and how AS is integrated into gene regulation networks remain important questions of eukaryotic biology. Here we report that polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (Ptbp1/PTB/hnRNP-I) controls alternate 5'...

The goal of the present study was to quantify and correlate the contribution of the cytosolic p67(phox) subunit of NADPH oxidase 2 to mitochondrial oxidative stress in the kidneys of the Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) hypertensive rat. Whole kidney redox states were uniquely assessed using a custom-designed optical fluorescence three-dimensional cryoimager to acquire multichannel signals of the intri...
