Dermatophytes are a group of keratinophilic fungi that have the capacity to invade keratinized tissues. Dermatophytosis is a common fungal infection seen in the tropical and subtropical countries affecting the skin and its appendages. Though dermatophytosis is considered a cosmetic illness, complications do occur. In the recent times dermatophytosis appears to be a neglected fungal disease. Thi...

Ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon-free energy carrier. Co-firing of ammonia in solid fuel-fired facilities feasible solution to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Solid fuels, such as coal and biomass, contain various trace elements, alkali metals sulfur, which are released the gas phase during combustion. Experimental characterization modeling used study participation sulfur species conv...

Hydrogen production could be enhanced by increasing the potassium hydroxide (KOH) concentration, but higher KOH concentrations result in corrosion rates. Therefore, a deep investigation of electrochemical behavior stainless steel (SS 316L) solution is needed. This study investigates influence on behavior, surface morphology, structure, and sample phases SS 316L. The investigations were conducte...

A nanometric Mg(OH)2 and MgO particles with high purity were successfully synthesized from Algerian dolomite via a leaching-precipitation-calcination process. The effect of leaching parameters, such as H2SO4 acid concentration (C), temperature (T), time (t), solid/liquid ratio (S/L), precipitation parameters: type precipitating base (KOH, NaOH, NH4OH), OH-/Mg2+ ratio, on the obtained product pr...

Increasing urbanization has also accelerated the potential risks of hazards arising from problematic soils. At this end, it becomes inevitable to apply soil improvement methods, which are most applicable and economical methods. strength clays, especially in undrained conditions where they exhibit low shear resistance, is essential for mitigating soil-induced hazards. This study aimed improve re...

In this study, we have evaluated the effect of potassium hydroxide (KOH) on energy storage performance metal-free carbon-based materials prepared from molasses. Molasses are a renewable-resource biomass and economical by-product sugar refinement, used here as carbon precursor. Two co-doped using molasses were synthesized via time cost-efficient microwave carbonization process, with ammonium pol...

BACKGROUND Fungal keratitis is a suppurative, ulcerative, and sight-threatening infection of the cornea that sometimes leads to loss of the eye. The objectives of this study were to improve facilities for laboratory diagnosis, to determine the predominant causative microorganisms, and to identify the predisposing factors of mycotic keratitis patients. METHODS A prospective study of corneal ul...

The residual carbon from the carbide industry in Malaysia has been explored as a precursor activated (ACs) processing via chemical activation with potassium hydroxide (KOH). consists of high fixed content and is sustainable source raw material, making it promising for ACs processing. However, synergy between temperature impregnation ratio yet to be well precursors Thus, present work, ratios 1:1...

Waste cooking oil produced by households and industries. The use of waste be fuel, soap, floor cleaner, candles have been developed. must through purification step. A method also developed, but the methods already there still managed to take optimal results. This research for development previous studies, so results this can directly used a different product with economic value. condist 2 stage...

Ni2O3 nanomaterial, a phase of nickel oxide, is synthesized by simple chemical process. The pure raw materials used in the present process were chloride hexahydrate NiCl2.6H2O and potassium hydroxide KOH utilizing temperature at 250 oC for 2 hour. structural, morphological optical properties specimens investigated employing diverse techniques such as XRD, AFM, SEM UV-Vis, respectively. XRD tech...
