Lead (Pb) is a toxic heavy metal and can harm organisms by inducing apoptosis. Selenium (Se), an essential trace element for humans and animals, can alleviate heavy metal toxicity. The aim of our study is to investigate alleviative effect of Se on Pb-induced apoptosis via endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in chicken kidneys. One hundred and eighty male chickens were randomly divided into four groups...
Due to large numbers of electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to be integrated into Canadian distribution systems, it is important to assess the impact of EV charging on these distribution systems. This paper investigates the effect of EV charging on a distribution network of Hydro Ottawa at a neighborhood level. Real-time distribution system data provided by Hydro Ottawa are implemented for the invesitigation...
Lead is a toxic element which usually brings harm to natural resources and human health. The use of Pb-containing solder alloys are forbidden to be employed in electronic packaging, which led to the great efforts to the investigation and implementation of lead-free bonding materials. The novel low temperature sintering bonding using metal nanoparticles is a promising technique for lead free bonding...
In order to assess the toxicity of heavy metals on the early development of Meretrix meretrix, the effects of mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) on embryogenesis, survival, growth and metamorphosis of larvae were investigated. The EC50 for embryogenesis was 5.4 μg l−1 for Hg, 1014 μg l−1 for Cd and 297 μg l−1 for Pb, respectively. The 96 h LC50 for D-shaped larvae was 14.0 μg l−1 for Hg, 68 μg l...
