Reproductive effects in German cockroaches by ecdysteroid agonist RH-0345, juvenile hormone analogue methoprene and carbamate benfuracarb

2004

1379-1176 (Print) Journal Article Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; Blatta germanica is the more prevalent cockroach species in Algeria. In the present study, we tested the effect on reproduction in B. germanica of two insect growth regulators, RH-0345, a benzoylhydrazine analogue that mimics the action of 20-hydroxyecdysone, and methoprene, one of the most commercially important juvenile hormone analogues, and a novel carbamate insecticide, benfuracarb. The compounds were applied topically (10 and 20 microg/insect for RH-0345, and 1 and 10 microg/insect for methoprene) or orally administrated (at 2% for benfuracarb) on newly emerged females and evaluated on reproductive events during the a…

Gold-nanoparticles ingestion disrupts reproduction and development in the German cockroach.

2015

The present work shows the effects of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) orally administered on reproduction and development of the insect Blattella germanica. Newly emerged females were provided with food containing AuNPs (87.44μg/g) of a size between 15 and 30nm (mean 21.8nm), and were allowed to mate with males. Food ingestion, mortality, reproductive parameters (time to ootheca formation and eclosion, ootheca viability and fertility) as well as postembryonic developmental parameters of the first ootheca (nymphal survival and life span) were recorded throughout the experiment. Gold from AuNPs was accumulated by adults of B. germanica with a bioaccumulation factor of 0.1. Ingestion of AuNPs did n…

CO Oxidation on Cationic Gold Clusters: A Theoretical Study

2008

Aiming at understanding the elementary steps governing the oxidation of CO catalyzed by dispersed or supported gold nanoclusters, the reactivity of molecular species, such as O2 and CO, on neutral and positively charged Au13 clusters have been studied using a DFT approach. Two CO oxidation mechanisms have been simulated, involving respectively the adsorption of CO and O2 on adjacent catalytic sites (two-sites mechanism) and the competitive interaction of the reactants on the same site (single-site mechanism). It is demonstrated that in the former scheme a definite interaction of CO and O2 with both the charged and neutral cluster is effective, but that a chemical reaction between the adsorb…

En kvalitativ studie om pårørendes erfaringer knyttet til etterlattesamtale med sykepleier fra en kommunal institusjon

2014

Masteroppgave i helsefag ME 518 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background: There is a deficiency of bereavement support in Norwegian municipalities. The deficiency is shown in the existing literature of the relatives point of view, both national and internationally. The bereavement support is important forthe bereaved and the palliative care. The follow-up could have a positive effect onthe bereaved. The aim of the study was to gain knowledge about the family membersexperience with follow- up, conducted by a community nurse from a municipalinstitution.Method: The study used a qualitative, descriptive method. Qualitative interviews wereconducted with 7 relatives to earlier cancer patients from t…

The Largest Synthetic Structure with Molecular Precision: Towards a Molecular Object

2010

Pushing the limits: A 200A - 10 Da structurally defined, linear macromolecule (PG5) has a molar mass, cross-section dimension, and cylindrical shape that are comparable to some naturally occurring objects, such as amyloid fibrils or certain plant viruses. The macromolecule is resistant against flattening out on a surface; the picture shows PG5 embracing the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV).

PERIPHERAL SURFACE DOSE FROM A LINEAR ACCELERATOR: RADIOCHROMIC FILM EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS OF FLATTENING FILTER FREE VERSUS FLATTENED BEAMS

2020

Abstract There is a growing interest in the use of flattening filter free (FFF) beams due to the shorter treatment times. The reduction of head scatter suggests a better radiation protection to radiotherapy patients, considering the expected decrease in peripheral surface dose (PSD). In this work, PSD of flattened (FF) and FFF-photon beams was compared. A radiochromic film calibration method to reduce energy dependence was used. PSD was measured at distances from 2 to 50 cm to the field border for different square field sizes, modifying relevant clinical parameters. Also, clinical breast and prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plans were studied. For square beams, FFF PSD is lowe…

Voltage Regulation and Power Losses Minimization in Automated Distribution Networks by an Evolutionary Multiobjective Approach

2004

In this paper, the problem of voltage regulation and power losses minimization for automated distribution systems is dealt with. The classical formulation of the problem of optimal control of shunt capacitor banks and Under Load Tap Changers located at HV/MV substations has been coupled with the optimal control of tie-switches and capacitor banks on the feeders of a large radially operated meshed distribution system with the aim of attaining minimum power losses and the flattening of the voltage profile. The considered formulation requires the optimization of two different objectives; therefore the use of adequate multiobjective heuristic optimization methods is needed. The heuristic strate…
