Genomics tools (gene- and protein-expression studies) can be used to find possible target genes involved in a quantifiable trait or disease state. However in many instances, cells and tissues directly involved in the trait's expression, for example, brain tissue, are not amenable for gene expression analysis. Whole blood cells share a molecular make-up for cellular communication and gene regula...

The Funil Reservoir receives a large amount of xenobiotics from the Paraíba do Sul River (PSR) from large number of industries and municipalities in the watershed. This study aimed to assess environmental quality along the longitudinal profile of the Paraíba do Sul River-Funil Reservoir system, by using biomarkers and bioindicators in a selected fish species. The raised hypothesis is that Funil...

The present discussions aimed at the rebuilding of Fren-chay Hospital began in 1977 under the auspices of the Avon Area Health Authority. The brief was to plan for a replacement of the whole hospital and asked for planning to be divided into ?2 million aliquots but this rapidly proved an absurd constraint and was deleted. A more fundamental requirement was for the development to be divided into...

INTRODUCTION Underground storage tanks containing hydrocarbonbased fuels are found worldwide. Many of these underground storage tanks are known to have leaks, allowing gasoline, diesel or other fuels to contaminate the surrounding soil. As of 1992, there were two million underground tanks being monitored for leaks and an additional three million not monitored for leaks within the United States ...

IN the method of studying esterases elaborated by the author, the active preparations are placed in contact with non-aqueous solutions of the substrates. The organic solvents used were either soluble, such as acetone, or practically insoluble in water, such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride and others. The active esterase preparations used in the majority of the experiments were obtained from pi...

INTRODUCTION Underground storage tanks containing hydrocarbonbased fuels are found worldwide. Many of these tanks have leaks, allowing gasoline, diesel, oil, or other hydrocarbon materials to contaminate the surrounding soil. In 1992, only 2 million of the 5 million tanks in the U.S. were monitored for leaks. However, underground storage tanks represent only one of many sources of hydrocarbon c...
