SYNERGISTIC CELLULAR EFFECTS INCLUDING MITOCHONDRIAL DESTABILIZATION, AUTOPHAGY AND APOPTOSIS FOLLOWING LOW-LEVEL EXPOSURE TO A MIXTURE OF LIPOPHILIC PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS

Abstract Humans are exposed to multiple exogenous environmental pollutants.Many of these compounds are parts of mixtures that can exacerbate harmful effects of the individual mixture components.2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), is primarily produced via industrial processes including incineration and the manufacture of herbicides.Both end

This paper presents ROSEHIP an approach for evaluating the horizontal stresses that develop in geotechnical Direct Simple Shear (DSS) tests through the use of high-resolution distributed fiber optic sensing.For this aim, fiber optics were embedded in 3D printed rings used for confining the soil in the test procedure.An analytical approach linking t

Bioretention cells are an important facility to solve the hydrological and non-point pollution problems in urban areas, especially phosphorus.In this paper, ceramsite composite was made from coal ash and modified by nano-iron through coprecipitation and reduction, which was used to remove the phosphorus in the water.The results of the characteristi

The ultrafine grained (UFGed) 1050 Al plates with a thickness of 2 mm, which were produced by the accumulative roll bonding technique after five cycles, were friction stir butt welded to 2 mm thick 6061-T6 Al alloy plates at a different revolutionary pitch that varied from 0.5 to 1.25 mm/rev.In the stir zone, the initial nano-sized lamellar structu
