End-of-life vehicles (ELV) have become a global concern as automobiles popular worldwide. An international workshop was held to gather data and discuss 3R policies ELV recycling systems, their background present situation, outcomes of related programs, the framework waste management, case studies on topics in several countries regions, well essential points comparison. Legislative systems are established EU, Japan, Korea, China, while US, is managed under existing laws environmental...
In the present study, we examined effect of ozonated water on oral microorganisms and dental plaque. Almost no were detected after being treated with (4 mg/l) for 10 s. To estimate water‐treated Streptococcus mutans, bacterial cells stained LIVE/DEAD ® Bac Light TM Bacterial Viability Kit. Fluorescence microscopic analysis revealed that S. mutans killed instantaneously in water. Some breakage was found by electron microscopy. When experimental plaque exposed to water, number viable...
Recycling of some minor but essential scarce metals used in vehicles may serve as an important strategy to strengthen sustainable management natural resources. Accordingly, this study focused on five precious (PMs): Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, and Rh, both end-of-life conventional next-generation vehicles. To explore their recycling potentials Japan, we developed substance flow scenario analyses based estimations PM contents per vehicle (ELV) ELV generations. The predicts that from 2015 2040, the...
Source-separated collection of food waste has been reported to reduce the amount household in several cities including Kyoto, Japan. Food can be reduced by various activities preventing edible loss, draining moisture, and home composting. These have different potentials for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. Therefore, we conducted a life-cycle inventory analysis management scenarios Kyoto with special emphasis on reduction activities. The primary functional unit our study was "annual...
Abstract Molecular blockade of EGFR with either an MAb or TKI enhances the radiosensitivity human SCCs. In present study, we investigated whether treatment gefitinib (Iressa, ZD1839) improves response to radiotherapy in OSCC cell lines HSC2 and HSC3. We examined potential mechanisms that may contribute enhanced radiation induced by gefitinib. Growth inhibition was observed vitro A cooperative antiproliferative effect obtained when cancer cells were treated followed Cells a combination...
For 35 years, Kyoto City has conducted detailed household waste composition surveys under the guidance of University by dividing into approximately 400 categories. In addition, city commercial generated businesses. These show that food loss accounts for 40% total waste, which leftovers and untouched account about in both households business facilities. Consequently, annual generation is estimated at 30,000 tons. Various efforts have been made to reduce including loss, but further reduction...
The purpose of this study was to quantify the life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction that could be achieved by replacement fossil-derived materials with biodegradable, biomass-based for household plastic containers and packaging, considering a variety their treatment options. were 100% polylactide or combination polybutylene succinate adipate polylactide. A scenario analysis conducted alternative recycling methods. Five scenarios considered: two existing (the current approach in...
In the present study, we examined effects of sequential exposure to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and heat stress on dental pulp cells. LPS induced proliferation cells through activation p38 MAPK. HSP27 was expressed in with or without during entire period stress, while transiently phosphorylated by short-term stress. LPS-treated cells, also phosphorylation HSF1. The immediate HSF1 occurred dependent However, long-term induction independent Further, full Akt immediately lasted IkappaB...
In the present study, we examined whether 2, 2-bis [4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloxypropoxy) phenyl] propane (Bis-GMA) has effects on LSC2 cells, human dental pulp cell line.The viability, cycle, and morphology of cells were analyzed after exposure to several different concentrations Bis-GMA. The recovery viability Bis-GMA exposed was also in condition without Further, penetration dentin disc using isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography.There a concentration-dependent decrease...
