Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation of Cellulosic Membrane Containing Pyrrolidone Moiety Via Radiation Induced Grafting and its Application in Wastewater TreatmentA. S. Aly, H. H. Sokker, A. Hashem, A. HebeishRadiation induced grafting of vinyl pyrrolidone onto cellulose wood pulp was carried out in heterogeneous and homogenous media using gamma radiation. Cellulose wood pulp was used in different forms; a) in a homogenous solution by dissolving the wood pulp in N,N- dimethylacetamide/Lithium chloride (DMAc/LiCl) mixture , b) in a membrane form, by precipitating the cellulose solution in water and c) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForest Fires and Resuspension of Radionuclides into the AtmosphereFernando P. Carvalho, Joao M. Oliveira, Margarida MaltaProblem statement: Forest fires are especially frequent around the Mediterranean Sea basin in the summer period and might be able to release naturally-occurring and man-made radionuclides from plant biomass and inject them into the atmosphere. The impact of this radioactivity on populations was not investigated before. Approach: Radionuclide analysis was performed in plants, in smoke from plant burning and in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2012 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRadiation Hazards Due to Radon Concentrations in Dwellings of Kufa Technical Institute, 'Iraq'Ali Abid Abojassim Al-Hamidawi, Afnan Ali HusainRadon concentrations were measured in Kufa dwellings of the technical institute, Al-Najaf- Iraq using LR-115 type II plastic track detectors. Additionally, annual effective dose and the excess lifetime cancer risk for the aforementioned dwellings were calculated. The results demonstrate that the radon concentration ranged from 37.4±6.4 Bq/m3 to 55.7±12.0 Bq/m3 with an average of 46.2±8.2 Bq/m3. The latter is found … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 8,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMonstrous Hazards Produced by High Radioactivity Levels Around Assiut Thermal Power PlantHany El-Gamal, Mohamed El-Azab Farid, Abdulla Ibrahim Abdel Mageed et al.The natural radioactivity level of heavy oil, ash and soil samples around Assiut Thermal Power Plant (ATPP) in Egypt was determined using gamma ray spectrometry. The average concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in fly ash were found to be 2307±143, 1281±80 and 1218±129 Bq kg-1, respectively, while the corresponding values in soil samples were 2670±107, 1401±78 and 1495±100 Bq … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 17 Sep 2013 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRadiation Induced DNA Double Strand Break Studies of a Metal Sensitive Novel Bacterial Isolate from East Calcutta WetlandSanhita Chowdhury, Anindita Chakraborty, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriProblem statement: This study was an attempt to isolate anaerobic microbes with potential for DNA double strand break repair using methanogen specific medium (DSMZ 120) from East Calcutta Wetland in India. It also intended to verify the specificity of the medium for isolation of the desired family of microbe. Approach: Culture based technique was used to obtain the pure isolate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInfluence of Ionizing Radiation on Antioxidant Enzymes in Three Species of TrigonellaMuna M. Al-Rumaih, May M. Al-RumaihThe response of three species of Trigonella, namely, Trigonella stellata, Trigonella hamosa and Trigonella anguina to gamma irradiation stress was investigated with respect to antioxidant enzyme induction. When dry seeds were subjected to gamma rays (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 Krad) from a cobalt source 60Co at a dose rate of 233.5 rad/ min, a dose dependent increase in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
