Carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption on decorated graphene (GR) sheets with transition metals (TMs) including iron, nickel and zinc was investigated for removing this hazardous gas from the environment. TM-doped GR results in higher activity toward detecting than pristine nanosheets. TM embedding restrains hydrogen evolution C sites, leaving more available sites a CO2 decrease. The Langmuir model ON...

Background: Chemokines, proteins that operate within the body's immune system, play numerous roles in menstruation, bacterial infection, implantation of embryos, and the maintenance of early pregnancy. They are also strongly related to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Materials and Methods: This is review article that were indentifical by computer search of MEDLINE (1984- 2013). Results:...

Ontologies have been used as vehicles to assign semantics to data in several domains, since they represent a conceptualization about the domain of interest and establish a common vocabulary to be shared. For properly addressing the domain of interest and serving as a means to attribute meaning to data, ontology should provide a correct understanding of the domain conceptualization. This paper p...

Gentle Remediation Options (GRO) are remediation measures involving plants, fungi, bacteria, and soil amendments that can be applied to manage risks at contaminated sites. Several studies decision-support tools promote the wider range of benefits provided by GRO, but there is still skepticism regarding GRO implementation. Key issues need better communicated various risk mitigation mechanisms, r...

SlIm mary.-This study assessed the effi cacy of the Self-consciousness Scale in different iating shortand long-term schizophrenics from sociopaths and psych iatric aides. Three gro ups of 10 state hospital residen ts were selected on the basis of evidence of schizophren ia or antisocial pe rsonality using bot h interview and psychometric measures. A comparison group of 10 randomly chosen psychi...

Using the RXTE PCA we discovered dips in the X-ray light curves of the black-hole candidate GRO J1655−40 during outburst. They are short (∼minute) and deep (down to ∼8% of the out-of-dip intensity). Similar kind of dips were found in 90 s measurements of the RXTE ASM during the same outburst. The occurrences of the dips are consistent with the optically determined orbital period, and were found...

This paper presents a framework for developing a new graphics domain, called GRO, in Ptolemy II [1]. GRO is an OpenGL-based implementation that imports utilities, semantic and functionalities of OpenGL. The specification provides users to fully utilize the potential in the communication between the rendering engine and the computation in the model. This bottom-up design approach allows develope...
