AORTIC OXIDATIVE STRESS, INFLAMMATION AND DNA DAMAGE FOLLOWING PULMONARY EXPOSURE TO CERIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES IN A RAT MODEL OF VASCULAR INJURY

Aortic Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and DNA Damage Following Pulmonary Exposure to Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles in a Rat Model of Vascular Injury

Pulmonary exposure to cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) can occur either at the workplace, or due to their release in the environment.Inhaled CeO2 NPs are known to cross the alveolar−capillary barrier and reach various parts of the body, including the vasculature.The anticancer drug cisplatin (CP) causes vascular damage.However, the effec

ON OPTIMUM DESIGN OF FRAME STRUCTURES

Optimization of frame structures is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem, which is currently solved to local optimality.In this contribution, we investigate four optimization approaches: (i) general non-linear optimization, (ii) optimality criteria method, (iii) Razor Blades non-linear semidefinite programming, and (iv) polynomial optimi

Irreversibility process characteristics of variant viscosity and conductivity on hybrid nanofluid flow through Poiseuille microchannel: A special case study

The model based upon the Poiseiulle flow of hybrid nanofluid within a Grains micro channel for the inclusion of varying viscosity and thermal conductivity.The suggested model is designed for the use of variable properties of the hybrid nanofluid embedding with the metal and oxide nanoparticles such as Cu and Al2O3 submerged in the base fluids i.e.w

Minor shallow gravitational component on the Mt. Vettore surface ruptures related to MW 6, 2016 Amatrice earthquake

On 24th August 2016 a ML 6.0 earthquake occurred near Amatrice (central Italy) causing nearly 300 fatalities.The mainshock ruptured a NNW-SSE striking, WSW dipping normal fault.The earthquake produced several coseismic effects at ground, including landslides and ground ruptures.In particular, ground surveys identified a 5.2 km long continuous fract
