Recovery studies performed at 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0mg kg-1 fortification levels of each compound and recoveries obtained ranged from 743%-97% with relative standard deviation lower than 7.5%. The method showed the good linearity over the range assessed 0.01-1.0mg kg-1 respectively. Capsicum was analyzed for acephate, chlorphyriphos, dichlorvos, phorate, deltamethrin, fenvalerate and cyfluthrin-ȕ residues. Except phorate none of the residues in capsicum crossed the MRL. Phorate was detected in samples from Ramanagara district while 12.5% samples from Bangalore rural, chikkaballapura and Kolar district showed phorate residues exceeding the MRL value of 0.05mg kg-1. Cyfluthrin-ȕ residue is in higher proportion in capsicum samples from Bangalore rural than Bangalore urban. It is therefore required to investigate extensively the monitoring studies covering all the vegetables crops from different agro-climatic zones of Karnataka to know the exact status of pesticide contamination.","PeriodicalId":257195,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Biological & Pharmaceutical Science","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115718956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nanotechnology is defined as the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter on the nanometer (1-100 nm) length scale and the exploitation of novel properties and phenomena developed at that scale. Environmental nanotechnology is considered to play a key role in the shaping of current environmental engineering and science. Nanotechnology is an upcoming technology that can provide solution for combating pollution by controlling shape and size of materials at the Nano scale. This review provides comprehensive information regarding the role of nanotechnology in pollution control at three different steps viz. Source reduction or pollution prevention, remediation or degradation of pollutants and sensing of pollutants. Due to its large surface area and high surface energy, the nanoparticles have the ability to absorb large amount of pollutants or catalyze reactions at a much faster rate, thus reducing energy consumption during degradation or helps in preventing release of contaminants. Pollution prevention by nanotechnology refers on the one hand to a reduction in the use of raw materials, water or other resources and the elimination or reduction of waste and on the other hand to more efficient use of energy or involvement in energy production. The Nano size of the particles also make it possible to reach otherwise inaccessible areas and hence promote in-situ remediation rather than ex-situ remediation. The ability of the nanoparticles to be coated with various ligands and control of surface area to volume ratio by changing the shape of the nanoparticle Nanotechnology and the environment – is it therefore a Janus-faced relationship. There is the huge hope that Nano technological applications and products will lead to a cleaner and healthier environmentrticles enables the design of sensors with high selectivity, sensitivity and specificity.","PeriodicalId":257195,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Biological & Pharmaceutical Science","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115330955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on our experience in beamlet IMRT optimization, PTVs in brain were prescribed to 66Gy using 5 fields, PTVs in H/N plans were prescribed to 70 Gy delivered by 7 fields, and prostate PTVs were prescribed to 76 Gy using nine fields. In all plans, fields were set to be equally spaced. All cases were re-planed using Direct Aperture optimizer (DAO) in Prowess Panther© ver 5.01 IMRT planning system at same configurations and dose constraints. Plans were evaluated according to ICRU criteria, number of segments, number of monitor units and planning time. \u0000Results: In brain case, beamlet optimization was better than DAO for both GTVs and PTVs in 95% isodose coverage, and the hot area was about 7% more in beamlet plan than DAO plan. For OAR, results showed an improvement in OAR sparing up to more than 35% in rt. eye, lt. eye, rt. optic nerve and lt. optic nerve when using DAO for planning, while optic chiasma sparing was about 20% also in beamlet optimizer plan. \u0000For H/N plans, the near maximum dose (D2) and the dose that covers 95% (D95) of PTV has improved by 4% in DAO. For organs at risk (OAR), DAO reduced the volume covered by 30% (V30) inspinal cord, right parotid, and left parotid by 60%, 54%, and 53% respectively. This considerable dosimetric quality improvement achieved using 25% less planning time and lower number of segments and monitor units by 46% and 51% respectively. \u0000In DAO prostate plans, Both D2 and D95 for the PTV wereimproved by only 2%. The V30 of right femur, left femur and bladder were improved by 35%, 15% and 3% respectively. On the contrary, the rectum V30 got even worse by 9%. However, number of monitor units, and number of segments decreased by 20% and 25% respectively. Moreover the planning time reduced significantly too. \u0000Conclusion: DAO introduces considerable advantages over beamlet optimization for different sites of cancer, in regards to organ at risk sparing.
