Cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of flurochloridone (FLC) and its formulations Twin Pack Gold(®) and Rainbow(®) were evaluated in CHO-K1 cells. Using the alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay, we observed that FLC (15 μg/ml), Twin Pack Gold(®) or Rainbow(®) induced primary DNA damage, increasing the frequency of damaged nucleoids. Vitamin E pretreatment did not modify the effect. Decreased cell viability was observed only in Twin Pack Gold(®)-treated cultures and was significantly ameliorated by vitamin E. Post-treatment of herbicide-damaged CHO-K1 cells with the enzymes Endo III or Fpg did not increase FLC-, Twin Pack Gold(®)-, or Rainbow(®)-induced DNA damage. These results demonstrate that neither FLC nor FLC-based formulations induce DNA damage through hydroxyl radical or lipid alkoxyl radical production, and that the induced DNA lesions were not related to oxidative damage at the purine/pyrimidine level. Our observations strongly suggest that the cytotoxic effects observed after Twin Pack Gold(®) exposure are due to the excipients contained within the technical formulation rather than FLC itself.

Metallic alloys have played essential roles in human civilization due to their balanced strength and ductility. Metastable phases and twins have been introduced to overcome the strength-ductility tradeoff in face-centered cubic (FCC) high-entropy alloys (HEAs). However, there is still a lack of quantifiable mechanisms to predict good combinations of the two mechanical properties.

This article presents a study of changes in the microstructure of Hadfield steel depending on the tensile deformation and cold rolling with the strain/stress level. It has been established that the change in the "σ-ε" curve (at ε = 5%) is accompanied by a 1.5-times decrease in the strain-hardening coefficient.

Study Objectives: Following sleep deprivation, increases in delta power have historically been used to index increases in sleep pressure. Research in mice has demonstrated that the homeostatic delta power response to sleep deprivation is heritable. Whether this is true in humans is unknown.

Lithium-ion batteries with nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes and graphite anodes have reached specific energies of 250-300 Wh kg (refs. ), and it is now possible to build a 90 kWh electric vehicle (EV) pack with a 300-mile cruise range. Unfortunately, using such massive batteries to alleviate range anxiety is ineffective for mainstream EV adoption owing to the limited raw resource supply and prohibitively high cost.

The accurate identification of gas channeling channels during foam-assisted oxygen-reduced air flooding (FAORAF) and the analysis of the main controlling factors are essential to propose reasonable and effective countermeasures to enhance oil recovery (EOR). However, there are few comprehensive studies on identifying gas channeling channels, the influencing factors, and the corresponding plugging EOR systems in FAORAF. The channeling channels of the injection and production wells of the Changqing Oilfield, China, under varying development schemes are identified utilizing fuzzy membership function theory in this work to obtain their primary distribution.
