The present work deals with Low Temperature CO Oxidation for Fire Escape Mask development. Building and property fires often contain as high as 3600 ppm of carbon monoxide. The goal of this work is to develop a thin layer catalyst (1-5 mm) capable of reducing carbon monoxide from inlet concentrations of 3600 ppm to less than 400 ppm for at least 15 – 60 minutes while meeting other CBRN (chemica...

Nasal, respiratory, reproductive and developmental toxicities of propylene oxide (PO) were examined by exposing male and female Sprague-Dawley rats to PO vapor by inhalation at a concentration of 0 (control), 125, 250, 500 or 1,000 ppm for 6 h/d, 7 d/wk, during a 5- to 6-wk period, including premating, mating and postmating or gestation. The inhalation exposure to 1,000 ppm PO seriously affecte...

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.), a member of Lamiaceae family, is an important medicinal plant that has many useful properties. Micronutrients are necessary in low dose for the growth and the development of plants. Present research was conducted to study the effects of micronutrients including manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu) on morpho-physiological traits and essential oil of lemon balm. Fie...

abstract angelica archangelica, tanacetum cinerariaefolium and chelidonium majus are valuable medicinal plants for which there is no comprehensive information about their seed germination in review of literatures. with regarding of the importance of simple propagation of medicinal plants and the role of seed in production of these plants, this study was set out in order to analyzing of the effe...

lipid oxidation has adverse effect on food deterioration and human health. the antioxidant activity of fennel seed extracts (fse) was evaluated by synthetic antioxidant. its oxidative stability was compared in olive oils in concentrations of bha (75 ppm), bht(75 ppm) and  1:1 bha to bht ratio. peroxide (pv), p-anisidine (av) and totox values were evaluated to assess the extent of oil deteriorat...

The precise, systematic, definite, particular, linear, exact and robust scientific method was developed validated for the assay of Cypermethrin in 25% EC Insecticide Injection, USP 500 mg/vial. Presently utilized 25 % as a working standard having limit 95% development validation. quantitative determination bring to accomplished by HPLC- Waters - Alliance 510 system equipped with UV/PDA detector...

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of high dietary intakes of Zn and Cu and their combination on growth performance of weanling pigs with diverse health status and management strategies. Twelve experiment stations cooperated and used a total of 1,356 pigs that averaged 6.55 kg BW and 22.2 d age at weaning. The four dietary treatments, all of which met or exceeded NRC requiremen...

Use of pecan shell fiber in human food is presently limited, but could increase pending demonstration of safety. In a 91-day rat study, pecan shell fiber was administered at dietary concentrations of 0 (control), 50 000, 100 000 or 150 000 ppm. There was no effect of the ingredient on body weight of males or females or food consumption of females. Statistically significant increases in food con...

BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO) is postulated to protect tissues against several types of injuries. We investigated the role of CO in amelioration of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo and the mechanisms involved in it. METHODS AND RESULTS Rats inhaled CO (250 ppm, 500 ppm, or 1000 ppm) for 24 hours in a chamber after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion induced by occluding the left ante...

Epigenetic modulators, particularly histone deacetylases (HDACs), are valid targets for cancer prevention and therapy. Recent studies report that HDAC2 overexpression is associated with colon tumor progression and is a potential target for colon cancer prevention. This study tested chemopreventive and dose-response effects of Ohio State University HDAC42 (OSU-HDAC42), a selective HDAC2 inhibito...
