Phenol and its derivatives are pollutant compounds that are present in the wastewater of many industries. The objective of this study was to investigate the photocatalytic degradation of phenol in water containing various concentrations of sodium chloride. A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the performance of UV/ZnO process on the efficiency of phenol removal from saline water with Zn...

background: poly chlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) are a class of chlorinated organic chemicals that do not easily degrade in the environment. this study was conducted to determine the effect of microwave rays, hydrogen peroxide, dioxide titanium and ethanol solvent on the degradation of pcbs. methods: a 900w domestic mw oven with a fixed frequency of 2450 mhz was used to provide mw irradiation. ray...

The results of the X-ray radiation impact on heterojunction SiGe and conventional silicon bipolar transistors are presented. Oxide thickness over the emitter-base junction depletion region determines the radiation hardness of the bipolar transistors. In this article, the estimation of the rate of radiation degradation of electrical parameters for conventional silicon devices and SiGe-transistor...

Background: Ionizing radiation causes deleterious effects on living system mainly due to oxidative damages of macromolecules and protein is the major target due to its abundance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ionizing radiation induced changes in the molecular properties of bovine serum albumin (BSA) its secondary and tertiary structures, degradation, cross linking and...

In response to DNA damage, cells activate a signaling pathway that promotes cell cycle arrest and degradation of the cell cycle regulator Cdc25A. Cdc25A degradation occurs via the SCFbeta-TRCP pathway and phosphorylation of Ser-76. Previous work indicates that the checkpoint kinase Checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) is capable of phosphorylating Ser-76 in Cdc25A, thereby promoting its degradation. In c...
