ABSTRACT
The aim of the present work was to investigate the exposure to the medical and industrial toxic chemicals. The research was carried out on hair, nail and blood samples in a panel of 40 healthy volunteers aged 7 to 77 with an average of 45 ± 19 years (18 women (45%) and 22 men (55%)). All of these individuals had not received medication for at least 1 year, including antibiotics and psychotropic. This study was realized from July 2013 to March 2014 in Beijing, China. The method for an accurate and reliable screening of medical and an industrial toxic chemical was based on detection and assay by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection type of diode arrays. Also more than 10,000 toxic molecules commonly found in western industrial countries were screened by coupling gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The main results indicate that the molecules analyzed are mainly antibiotic (Gentamycine and Tobramycine), antidepressant (Amitriptylin and its metabolites), narcotic (MDMA and Clonitazene), ingredient in cosmetics (Benzenediol and Benzoic acid), insecticide (Carbamate derivative), ketamine, chlorhexidine and phthalate derivatives. There are no detailed documented baseline data of the analysis of medical and Industrial toxic pollutants in hair, nail and blood samples in Beijing; however, this study should be completed on samples from other provinces of China. This study is the first of its kind. Therefore, further studies should be conducted in other cities and provinces of China to be compared with each other.

Electron Spin and Proton Spin in the Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Like Atomic Systems

Read full paper at: http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=52202#.VIj7tMnQrzE Author(s) Stanisław Olszewski * Affiliation(s) Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland . ABSTRACT The mechanical angular momentum and magnetic moment of the electron and proton spin have been calculated semiclassically with the aid of the uncertainty principle for energy and time. The spin effects of both kinds of the elementary particles can be expressed in terms of similar formulae. The quantization of the spin motion has been done on the basis of the old quantum theory. It gives a quantum number n = 1/2 as the index of the spin state acceptable for both the electron and proton ...

ABSTRACT This study consists of the development and presentation of example of seismic isolation system analysis and design for a continuous, 3-span, cast-in-place concrete box girder bridge. It is expected that example is developed for all Lead-Rubber Bearing (LRB) seismic isolation system on piers and abutments which placed in between super-structure and sub-structure. Design forces, displacements, and drifts are given distinctive consideration in...

Effects of Karate Training on Basic Motor Abilities of Primary School Children

“You never attack first in karate” might be the best conclusion of karate, which is a martial art practiced typically without weapons. It’s reported that karate has a long history for several hundred years, but the modern karate was spread to the whole Japan from Okinawa in the early part of 20th century. Now it has become one of the most widely practiced martial art forms in the world. Usually, it’s divided into Kihon, Kata and Kumite. As for the beginners, Kihon is more suitable for them because it involves basic techniques. Due to karate consists of dynamic offensive and defensive techniques using all parts of the body to their maximum advantage, the best understanding of true karate practice is the perfection of oneself through the perfection of the art. It not only develops coordination, quickens reflexes, and builds stamina, but also develops composure, a clearer thought process, deeper insight into one’s mental capabilities, and more self-confidence. So many researchers stu...
