The results showed significant changes in some parameters in comparison with control animals started as early as 15 minutes and intensified by the continuous exposure time, leading to significant increase (p 〈 0.05) in the number of both WBC (white blood cells), PLT (blood platelets) and decrease in numbers of RBC (red blood corpuscles) while hemoglobin percentages (Hb%) showed an insignificant (p 〉 0.05) fluctuating rhythm. The percentages of both Neutrophil and Lymphocyt recorded a significant increase (p 〈 0.05) 1 hour post-exposure to the DEE while other WBCs showed less changes. It is concluded that blood components are so sensitive to DEE and do respond quicker to inhaled pollutants via changes in some components of WBC% but decrease in RBC% and the likelihood of blood clotting due to increase in blood platelets. These results indicate the acute toxic risks of the exposure to DEE of mechanics and technicians who work in vicinity of DEE sources or/and spend most daily hours in semi closed areas.展开更多

Mean-square displacements and velocity autocorrelation functions are used to calculate self-diffusion coefficients through Einstein equation and Green-Kubo formula. It has been found that simulation results are in good agreement with experimental data for liquid argon which is taken as exponential-six fluid. The effects of density, temperature and steepness factor for repulsive part of exponential-six potential on self-diffusion coefficients are also investigated. The simulation results indicate that the self-diffusion coefficient of exponential-six fluid increases as temperature increases and density decreases. In addition, the larger self-diffusion coefficients are obtained as the steepness factor increases at the same temperature and density condition.展开更多
