There is growing concern about how participation in contact sports affects the brain. Retrospective evidence suggests that contact sports are associated with long-term negative health outcomes. However, much of the research to date has focused on former athletes with significant health problems. Less is known about the health of current athletes in contact and collision sports who have not repo...

In this paper, we study warped products of contact skew-CR submanifolds, called skew CR-warped products. We establish a lower bound relationship between the squared norm second fundamental form and warping function. The equality case inequality is investigated some special cases derived are given. Furthermore, provide non-trivial examples such submanifolds.

chromium is one of the major causes of environmental pollution. to remove heavy metal ions from water, microorganisms can be used. in this study, dead fungal biomass of aspergillus niger is used. the biomass was boiled in 0.5 n naoh solutions to increase the metal removal capacity of a.niger and was applied when the ph of wash solution was in the normal range. the optimum adsorption ph value ob...

The effects of metal combinations on cytotoxicity were examined following dynamic extraction by freely gyrating two spherical metals in a glass vessel. The cell viabilities of an Au alloy, a Ag-Pd-Au alloy and Ti were little affected by combinations among three metals. Cell viability ranged between 60 and 80% when precious alloys were in combination with Co-Cr or Ni-Cr alloys. Ti showed a clear...

Strong anion exchange resin (Spectra/Gel IE 1x8) has been investigated as adsorbent for the efficient removal of Cr(VI) ions from synthetic wastewater solutions. Batch experiments were conducted with initial Cr(VI) ions concentration ranging from 25-300 mg/L. Different parameters influencing Cr(VI) adsorption process such as; solution pH, Cr(VI) and adsorbent concentration and contact time were...

We derive Mok-Siu-Yeung type formulas for horizontal maps from compact contact locally sub-symmetric spaces into strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds and we obtain some rigidity theorems for the horizontal pseudoharmonic maps. Author

Adsorbent properties and aqueous characteristics are very important parameters in the removal efficiency (RE) of environmental pollutants. The main goal of this study was to investigate the effects of pH, particle size and porosity of raw rice husk and its silica on removing lead and hexavalent chromium (Cr+6) from aqueous solution. The raw rice husk was collected from north of Iran and the ric...
