Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of Ultra Violet Radiation on Polyethylene Packaged Water Exposed at Varying Conditions: Are we Drinking Micro-Plastics?James Matthew Anayo, Victor Eshu Okpashi, Ikechukwu N.E. OnwurahThe public is worried about how their health is impacted by microplastics in sachet water. This awareness has repercussion for water producing factories and public health organization in managing health hazard associated with microplastic ingestion. Many countries in Africa, with concern to Nigeria, the act of packaging water in polyethylene materials by water producing factories has become accustomed. These packaged … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2018 · 9,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleQuercetin Iron (III) Complex Enhances Radiation-Induced Cell Death in Human Erythroleukemic Cell Lines by Increasing the Generation of Intracellular ROSJiraporn Kantapan, Krai Daowtak, Kachaporn Gateprayoon et al.Quercetin iron (III) complex (IronQ) is a paramagnetic agent which exhibits several biological effects. Despite extensive studies about quercetin metal complex, the role of complexes to enhance the effect of radiation still remains unexplored. To this end, we determined whether and how IronQ sensitizes cancer cells to Ionizing Radiation (IR). Doxorubicin resistant leukemic cells (K562/Adr) and their parental cell lines … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2017 · 8,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePiecewise Positivity Preserving Cubic Bezier Interpolation for Estimating Solar Radiation Missing Value in Penang, MalaysiaAzizan Saaban, Mohd Lutfi Zainudin, Mohd Nazari Abu BakarComplete solar radiation data is important in variety of disciplines such as solar radiation development system or solar project which is strongly affected by hourly variation of the solar radiation. However, the available data may contain missing data for several days in the absence of measurement due to several factors such as instrument failure and human errors. In this study, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2016 · 7,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Combined Natural Convection and Radiation Heat Transfer Using a Similarity SolutionMehdi Zeyghami, Muhammad M. RahmanA similarity solution for laminar boundary layer in a buoyancy induced flow over an isothermal, vertical wall in the presence of radiation is developed. Radiation heat transfer is taken into account by application of the Rosseland approximation in the energy conservation equation. The family of similarity solutions to the governing equations is presented. The computed results show that thermal and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 16 Oct 2015 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation the Synergistic Effect of High Dose Radiation of Radioiodine on the Immune System Suppressed By CyclosporineMehrosadat Alavi, Mohammad Ali Okhovat, Kourosh Bamdad et al.Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant drug and iodine-131 is the diagnostic and therapeutic radioisotope in nuclear medicine. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the synergistic effect of high-dose radiation of radioiodine on the suppression of the immune system of BALB/cmice after receiving cyclosporine. A total of 50 mice BALB/c were randomly divided into two groups (control and test). Then, 50 … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 28 Sep 2015 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMulti-Timescale Microscopic Theory for Radiation Degradation of Electronic and Optoelectronic DevicesDanhong Huang, Fei Gao, D.A. Cardimona et al.A multi-timescale hybrid model is proposed to study microscopically the degraded performance of electronic devices, covering three individual stages of radiation effects studies, including ultra-fast displacement cascade, intermediate defect stabilization and cluster formation, as well as slow defect reaction and migration. Realistic interatomic potentials are employed in molecular-dynamics calculations for the first two stages up to 100 ns as well … …Space Science International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2015 · 10,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRadiation-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction After Different Schemes of Fractionated Whole Brain IrradiationZorkina Yana Alexandrovna, Zubkov Eugene Andreevich, Yusubalieva Gaukhar Maratovna et al.Radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction is a serious complication of radiation therapy. In humans, numerous cases of radiation damage have been recorded after irradiation for therapeutic purposes. The degree of cognitive dysfunctions and its dependence on biological effective doses should be tested in animal preclinical models to minimize radiation side effects. Fractionated whole brain irradiation was performed according to the following schemes: … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynchrotron Powder Diffraction Study of Radiation Damage in Langmuir Blodgett Nanotemplate Crystallised ProteinJonathan P. Wright, Eugenia Pechkova, Claudio NicoliniPolycrystalline samples of lysozyme were prepared with and without a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin film template via both the hanging drop method and batch crystallisation. Powder diffraction methods are used to compare these samples and to measure their resistance to radiation damage at room temperature. The X-ray induced amorphisation of the samples was followed as a function of time and it … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2014 · 8,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGlobal Solar Radiation Studies Due to Sunshine Hours and Other Meteorological ParametersMfon David Umoh, Sunday O. Udo, Ye-Obong N. UdoakahMultiple linear regression models were developed to estimate the monthly daily Sunshine Hours using four parameters during a period of eleven years (1997-2007) for locations in South Eastern Nigeria. These locations include Uyo (Latitude 5°18'53.7"N), Calabar (Latitude 5°16'07.6"N), Port Harcourt (Latitude 4°56'26.2"N), Warri (Latitude 5°34'21.0"N), Enugu (Latitude 6°27'42.42"N), Owerri (Latitude 5°38'05.1"N).
