ARSENIC INDUCED OXIDATIVE STRESS AND ROLE OF SCAVENGING ENZYMES IN PHYTOREMEDIATION BY PTERIS VITTATA AND EICHHORNIA CRASSIPES

Arsenic Induced Oxidative Stress and Role of Scavenging Enzymes in Phytoremediation by Pteris vittata and Eichhornia crassipes

Arsenic pollution is a growing menace in major parts of West Bengal, India and Bangladesh.Arsenic phytoremediation abilities of two common plants Pteris vittata and Eichhornia crassipes growing abundantly under natural tropical conditions of India were biochemically analyzed.Reactive oxygen species, taking total peroxide and malondialdehyde content

Photoactivity of Titanium Dioxide Foams

TiO2 foams have been prepared by a simple mechanical stirring method.Short-chain amphiphilic molecules have been used to stabilize colloidal suspensions of TiO2 nanoparticles.TiO2 foams were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis absorption Lip Liner spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (S

The Effects of Social Mobility

The question of how social mobility affects outcomes, such as political preferences, wellbeing, and fertility, has long been of interest to sociologists.But finding answers to this question has Blenders been plagued by, on the one hand, the non-identifiability of "mobility effects" as they are usually conceived in this literature, and, on the other

On the impact of improved dose calculation accuracy in clinical treatment planning for superficial high-dose-rate brachytherapy of extensive scalp lesions

TG-43-based dose calculations disregard tissue heterogeneities and finite scatter conditions, prompting the introduction of model-based dose calculation Crib algorithms (MBDCAs) to improve accuracy in high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy.This study evaluated the effectiveness of MBDCAs over TG-43 in HDR 192Ir brachytherapy of extended scalp lesions.T
