polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are one of the most important organic pollutants frequently found in the environment. in this experiment, the effect of phytoremediation as a cost effective method was studied on the concentration of anthracene (c14h10) which is one of pahs. the effect of sorghum (v1), hairy vetch (v2) and oat (v3) was studied under four concentrations of anthracene (s1, ...

This is the final paper in a series of papers presented at previous ICCRTS conferences from 2005 on, and in the International C2 Journal, aiming at developing a science of command and control (C2). Specifically, the aim has been to search for an appropriate ontological framework for the study of C2 which will let us escape from the current fragmentation of the field. This work has led to the vi...

Structural variation in the second component of human complement was identified in about 4% of serum samples from random unrelated individuals of all the major races. Three forms of C2 have been identified by isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel and development of patterns in agarose gel containing antibody-sensitized sheep red cells and C2-deficient serum: C2 C (common), C2 A (acidic), a...

Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase is a microsomal mixed function oxygenase induced by benz[a]anthracene and other polycyclic hydrocarbons in mammalian cell culture. Actinomycin D or Z-mercapto-1-(/3-4-pyridethyl)benzimidazole (inhibitors of RNA synthesis) or cycloheximide or puromycin (inhibitors of protein synthesis), added simultaneously with benz[a]anthracene, completely prevents aryl hydrocarbon...

Petroleum hydrocarbons are important energy resources used by industry and in our daily life, whose production contributes highly to environmental pollution. To control such risk, bioremediation constitutes an environmentally friendly alternative technology that has been established and applied. It constitutes the primary mechanism for the elimination of hydrocarbons from contaminated sites by ...

Capillary gas-liquid chromatography was used to analyse the cuticular hydrocarbons of three triatomine species, Triatoma dimidiata, T. barberi and Dipetalogaster maxima, domestic vectors of Chagas disease in Mexico. Mixtures of saturated hydrocarbons of straight and methyl-branched chains were characteristic of the three species, but quantitatively different. Major methylbranched components mos...

This work introduces a novel, reliable and simple correlation for predicting the flash point of various types of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons containing cyclic and acyclic paraffins, olefins, alkynes and aromatic hydrocarbons. It is shown that the new method is based on the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms and some specific molecular moieties, which can easily be used for any types...
