Dose intercomparisons between computer planning, in-vivo and phantom measurements for Iridium-192 HDR Brachytherapy

During gynaecological high-dose rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT), invivo dosimetry is done to monitor the dose received by the bladder and rectum. This study was aimed at validating the need to do in-vivo dosimetry during ICBT. Thirty patients were recruited to participate in the study. Treatment setup data from the thirty patients was used to reproduce applicator and in-vivo diode treatment setups in a water phantom. Radiation doses administered to the patients were replicated in the water phantom to measure the doses at marked dose reference positions

Valuation of oyster reef restoration along the Gulf Coast

The objective of this study is to estimate the willingness to pay of U.S. Gulf Coast residents to support oyster reef restoration. The Gulf Coast is the leading commercial oyster- producing region in the United States, accounting for approximately 46% of the total commercial oyster harvest in 2021. My benefit estimates were based on data obtained from a contingent valuation survey of 6,475 Gulf Coast respondents. I estimated the willingness to pay (WTP) for oyster reef restoration using interval regression and Turnbull lower-bound methods. The estimated mean WTP value is in the range of $142 and$436 per household. The results show respondents who eat oysters and those that hold saltwater fishing licenses have significantly higher WTP

Characterization of membrane lipids and, Changes therein during desiccation and rehydration of the resurrection plant Xerophyta humilis (Bak) Dur and Schinz

Drought is the primary challenge facing agricultural productivity and food sustainability productivity in Africa and many parts of the world. Very few higher plants, including crop plants, can survive periods of extended water loss. However, a small group of angiosperms, termed resurrection plants are able to lose up to 95% of their cellular water content in vegetative tissue upon extended periods of water, remain in an air-dry for months to years and regain full metabolic activity in the same tissue upon re-watering. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in acyl chain composition within the major glycerophospholipids (in total and chloroplast suspension) and galactolipids (chloroplast suspension) at different stages of dehydration and rehydration treatments in the resurrection plant Xerophyta humilis (Bak) Dur and Schniz. This was done in order to ascertain their roles during acquisition of desiccation tolerance in X. humilis. The galactolipids and glycerophospholipids acyl chain compositions were determined by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry. The glycerophospholipids profiles from total leaves and roots lipid extracts showed an increased representation of unsaturated molecular species such as 18:3/18:3 (in leaves) and 18:3/18:2 (in leaves and roots) during dehydration, with a decrease in saturated and mono-saturated molecular species such as 16:0/16:0. Rehydration was associated with the opposite trend. Furthermore, increased representation of molecular species with unusual fatty acids were observed during dehydration, with the odd-numbered fatty acids such as 15:0, 17:0 and 19:0 increasing during dehydration and decreasing during re-watering. On the other hand, the 23:0 and 25:0 fatty acids decreased during dehydration and increased upon rehydration. Within the chloroplast profiles, the galactolipids (i.e. monogalactosyldiacylglycerolipids and digalactosyldiacylglycerolipids) showed maintenance of 18:3/18:3 and 18:3/18:2 molecular species during dehydration and rehydration. The phosphatidylglycerolipids profiles in the chloroplast, together with the uncommon chloroplastic glycerophospholipids such as phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol also showed an increase in the unsaturated molecular species during dehydration and decrease upon rehydration. Taken together, our data suggest that water deficit in X. humilis roots and leaves induce fatty acid unsaturation, as well as production of uncommon fatty acids. These unsaturated fatty acids may aid in maintaining membrane integrity during dehydration. This study shows that changes in lipid composition are part of the desiccation tolerance strategies used by X. humilis

An Uneasy Relationship: Combating a Global Threat Through International Trade

Climate change has traversed from the realm of environmental speculation to political policy. No longer is it an issue of lacking scientific evidence; rather it is now an issue of lacking political will. Courageously, the European Union, after gauging the international landscape for a multilateral accord and finding it wanting, has forged forward unilaterally to combat this pressing and substantial threat. In enacting the 20/20 by 2020 the EU has not only set a profound precedent for other developed nations, but has also placed a great burden on its domestic industries. This article examines the EU’s regulatory response, in light of its WTO obligations. On the whole, it argues that the EU is well within its sovereign right to apply this measure domestically. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the EU also has strong legal arguments to justify influencing other developed nations to abide by a similar regime through an interpretation of past WTO jurisprudence. Finally, it makes recommendations to empower nations to be more effective at combating threats of this magnitude. On the whole, nations must be supported in progressive environmental actions, rather than hindered
