cigarettes‚ but these devices may cause other health risks. Electronic cigarettes can result in a higher overall absorption of nicotine in a long period of time‚ polluting the lungs. When inhaling e-cigarettes‚ it releases particles in the lungs called nanoparticles that are linked to asthma‚ heart disease and diabetes (Raloff). There have been cases where someone’s lungs were drowning due to the water vapor inhaled by e-cigarettes. But in some instances it creates them. This new and “cool” device catches

He fought in Kosovo without the required equipment. He did not know about the use of depleted uranium. During this war he had breathed deeply the air of those places and he trampled on the poisoned lands of nanoparticles. That poison entered in his body‚ slowly but inexorably. It attacked his powerful physique. Soon arrived the first symptoms and after a short time‚ the discovery of the tumor. A type of tumor that has a terrible and unpronounceable name: glioblastoma

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques probe short- and medium-range order‚ yielding information on bond lengths‚ coordination numbers‚ local coordination geometry and the oxidation state of atoms for a wide range of solid and liquid systems. XAS experiments require an intense‚ tunable photon source only available at synchrotrons. Features • medium and high energy (from atomic number Z=20 upwards) XAS‚ XANES (x-ray absorption near-edge structure)

Introduction The main purpose of root canal treatment is the elimination of microorganism from root canal system (1‚2). Microorganisms and their byproducts are regarded as the primary etiological factors of periapical diseases and pulpal necrosis (3‚4‚5). Microbial reduction obtained by mechanical instrumentation‚ irrigation‚ using intracanal medicaments and adequate filling of root canal (6). Failure of the root canal treatment is the result of persisting microorgansims in the root canal system

Colloidal silver is a suspension of distilled water that contains nanoparticles of silver. It can be made to be different strengths‚ so it can be tailored to the severity of the illness that someone has. Some suspensions have as few as ten parts per million of silver. Others have up to 500 parts per million of it. What is

Sitting in his office in the German university town of Chemnitz‚ Arved Huebler often thinks of the poor in rural India. Huebler is a physicist‚ a professor at the Chemnitz University of Technology and director of the Institute for Print and Media Technology in the university. He runs an exchange programme with Manipal University and has a lab there‚ but that isn’t why he has Indian villages on his mind. Huebler is developing a product that will be useful for the poor‚ those who do not have electricity

I am presently a Senior Undergraduate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at National Taipei University of Technology‚ Taiwan. I am applying for the Master’s program in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University. The transition from being an undergraduate to being part of a research team has been a significant paradigm shift‚ something that I’ve come to appreciate. With this new perspective‚ I believe the decision to apply for a Master’s degree is appropriate to further

MATERIAL AND METHODS Recombinant protein production The recombinant T-Rp3 was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) as previously described (Favaro et al.‚ 2014) and purified by a single step His-based affinity chromatography in an ÄKTA purifier FPLC (GE Healthcare). Protein was then dialyzed against 50 mM MES buffer (pH 6‚0) overnight at room temperature‚ frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 ˚C after 0.22 μm pore membrane filtration.
