THE DIFFERENTIAL ANTAGONISTIC ABILITY OF CURCUMIN AGAINST CYTOTOXICITY AND GENOTOXICITY INDUCED BY DISTINCT HEAVY METALS

The Differential Antagonistic Ability of Curcumin against Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity Induced by Distinct Heavy Metals

Widespread heavy metal pollution has aroused severe health risks worldwide.Curcumin has been reported to play a wide-spectrum protective role for various heavy metals.However, the specificity and difference in the antagonistic ability of curcumin against distinct types of heavy metals are still largely unknown.Here, using cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As)

Use of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model for a new configuration of circular primary settling tank

Appropriately used, computational fluid dynamics models are powerful tools to design and optimize primary settling tanks (PSTs).This paper uses a Fluent-based 3D model to identify the possible causes for underperformance of the circular PSTs at the Cali Merchandise waste-water treatment plant, Colombia, and to propose design modifications to improv
