Performance Indicators for Monitoring Safety Management Systems in Chemical Industry
(Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly / CICEQ, 2009)
The development of the Safety Management System (SMS) in chemical industry appears as one of the important requirements introduced by the EU Seveso, II Directive on the control of major-accident hazards. This paper aims ...
Reliability of Semiconductor and Gas-Filled Diodes for Over-Voltage Protection Exposed to Ionizing Radiation
(Nuclear technology and radiation protection, 2009)
The wide-spread use of semiconductor and gas-filled diodes for non-linear over-voltage protection results in a variety of possible working conditions. It is therefore essential to have a thorough insight into their reliability ...
Alum-Treated Drinking Water in Western Serbia
(Journal of Environmental Protection and Ecology, 2009)
Water quality from three conventional river water treatment plants (Zlatibor, Rzav and Cerovica brdo) using aluminum sulphate (alum)as coagulant in the region of Uzice was investigated in the period 2005-2006. The ...
A novel hypothesis regarding the possible involvement of cytosolic phospholipase 2 in insulin-stimulated proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells
(Cell Biology International, 2009)
Insulin (INS) via INS receptor acts as a mitogen in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through stimulation of multiple signaling mechanisms, including p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK1/2) and phosphatidyl ...
Antioxidant Status in Breast Cancer Patients of Different Ages After Radiotherapy
(Archives of Biological Sciences, 2009)
In this study we investigated the effects of breast cancer radiotherapy on the antioxidant (AO) enzyme activities of copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione ...
Severe Mononeuritis Multiplex Associated with Peginterferon-Ribavirin Therapy of Chronic Hepatitis C
(Hepatitis Monthly, 2009)
Vasculitis is a common extrahepatic manifestation of chronic hepatitis C virus infection and could be either associated with cryoglobulinemia or not. The mechanism of peripheral neuropathy seems to be vasculitic in both ...
An Assessment of Scattered Radiation During Fluoroscopic Procedures in Diagnostic Radiology
(Nuclear technology and radiation protection, 2009)
The results of measurements of scattered radiation in the vicinity of a fluoroscopic X-ray facility are presented in this paper. Two different fluoroscopic systems, one with an undercouch tube and one with an overcouch ...
Clinical investigations of Tc-99m-p-aminohippuric acid as a new renal agent
(Nuclear Medicine Communications, 2009)
Objective Tc-99m-p-aminohippuric acid (PAH) is a new radiopharmaceutical rapidly secreted by the kidneys in a manner consistent with tubular secretion. A comparative study of renal scintigraphy and clearance with Tc-99m-PAH, ...
Extending the use of air quality indices to reflect effective population exposure
(Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2009)
Although there are tendencies to develop a single common index which would describe an overall air quality status within an area, constructed from a choice of measurements of individual pollutants, indices describing ...
Reflection of Kev Light Ions from Solids At Oblique and Grazing Incidence
(Nuclear technology and radiation protection, 2009)
The particle reflection coefficient of fight keV ions backscattered from heavy targets has been determined by two different analytical approaches: by the single collision model in the case of nearly perpendicular incidence ...
