Indium separation using ion exchange resins from acidic polymetallic and very diluted solutions are investigated. Since the selectivity of commercial have proven to be too low for an effective with high content other metals, Lewatit® TP 208 was impregnated common extractants enhance its properties. By resin impregnation D2EHPA Cyanex 272, not only selective indium recovery reached but also capa...

INTRODUCTION: Bone and soft tissue sarcomas represent a small percentage of cancers worldwide; however, they are the third most children cancer in United States. Despite major advances in the treatment of advanced bone and soft tissue sarcomas such as the introduction of novel chemotherapy regimens, therapy fails in about one fourth of the patients. Therefore, to treat the patients with advance...

For several decades there has been a steady increase in the incidence of bacterial infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Gram-positive infections have become a serious problem, especially in the nosocomial setting, and the treatment of these infections is complicated by the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Staphylococci are among the most frequent causes of both communityand h...

To improve the ability of security defense in supervisor control and data acquisition (SCADA) for oil and gas field, a new security model for oil and gas SCADA based on factor neural network was presented. Firstly, definition of factor and factor Space were given. Then, formal description of knowledge factor expression, analysis factor neuron and analog factor neuron were described. Finally, ex...

MDI 301 is a picolinic acid-substituted ester of 9-cis retinoic acid. It has been shown in the past that MDI 301 increases epidermal thickness, decreases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, and increases procollagen synthesis in organ-cultured human skin. Unlike all-trans retinoic acid (RA), MDI 301 does not induce expression of proinflammatory cytokines or induce expression of leukocyte a...

Purpose: Tumor-specific replication-selective oncolytic virotherapy is a promising antitumor therapy for induction of cell death in tumor cells but not of normal cells. We previously developed an oncolytic adenovirus, OBP-301, that kills human epithelial malignant cells in a telomerase-dependent manner. Recent evidence suggests that nonepithelial malignant cells, which have low telomerase activ...

Abstract Background BOAST guidelines suggest that most patients should be advised to weight bear as tolerated, immediately after surgery, in a splint or cast unless there are specific concerns about the stability of fixation any contraindications. The purpose this audit is determine weight-bearing practice surgically managed ankle fractures. Secondarily we aimed assess whether reduction time we...
