A low grade chalcopyrite ore was leached with H2O2/(NH4)2SO4 and the leach liquor contained 42.96 mol m copper, 3.52 mol m zinc and 11.23 mol m magnesium. From this leach liquor separation of copper was carried out with supported liquid membrane using LIX84I as mobile carrier. Celgard 2400, a microporous polypropylene film was used as the solid support for the liquid membrane. The effect of pH ...

Two red-pigmented, strictly aerobic, pleomorphic rod-shaped and extremely halophilic archaea, designated strains HST01-2R(T) and HST03(T), were isolated from salt in a fish sauce sample from Thailand. The novel strains grew optimally at 37 °C, pH 7.0, and in the presence of 20-25 % (w/v) NaCl. The DNA G+C contents of the isolates were 61.6-62.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on a comp...

The dilepton production from pC and pCu collisions at Tlab = 12 GeV is calculated using the semi-classical BUU transport model, that includes the off-shell propagation of vector mesons nonperturbatively and calculates the width of the vector mesons dynamically. It is found that the collisional broadening of the vector meson width and dropping vector meson masses lead to a small enhancement of t...

ZNF804A rs1344706 (A/C) was the first SNP that reached genome-wide significance for schizophrenia. Recent studies have linked rs1344706 to functional connectivity among specific brain regions. However, no study thus far has examined the role of this SNP in the entire functional connectome. In this study, we used degree centrality to test the role of rs1344706 in the whole-brain voxel-wise funct...

There is a need for biomimetic materials for use in blood-contacting devices. Blood contacting surfaces maintain their patency through physico-chemical properties of a functional endothelium. A poly(carbonate-urea) urethane (PCU) is used as a base material to examine the feasibility of L-Arginine methyl ester (L-AME) functionalized material for use in implants and coatings. The study hypothesiz...

Increasing numbers of HIV infected patients along with severe treatment-associated complications and related deaths make the AIDS pandemic [1]. These inhibitors reduced the virus proliferation and this success made the HIV aspartic protease the prime target for AIDS therapies [2]. In this study, we present the first account of pentacycloundecane (PCU) lactam-peptide based HIV protease inhibitor...

Abstract The majority of roads in most countries are two-lane highways. These lanes quickly reach their capacity and must be upgraded on a regular basis. To do so, we first determine the street. primary objective this study was to effect carriageway width, radius horizontal curve, gradients Passenger Car Unit (PCU) values as well undivided Highways, more importantly, develop multiple linear reg...

Despite growing interest in controlled-release N fertilizers (CRNFs) because of their potential for enhancing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and economic returns, comprehensive impact on machine-transplanted rice remains to be understudied. To address this gap, here, we present a two-year field experiment that assessed the CRNF using mechanical deep placement fertilization (DPF) cultivation. The...

Aims To evaluate improvement in gestational diabetes (GDM) outcomes for mothers and their offspring induced by education provided to the healthcare team (HCTM) women with GDM, plus coordination between primary care units (PCU) highly complex maternity (HCM) facilities. Methods Pregnant GDM completing control visits from first appointment until delivery were recruited participating PCU-HCM, citi...
