this work studies the biosurfactants production which enables the diesel biodegradation byusing mixed microbial consortia from polluted sites. it was carried out by culturing three microbial consortia(named as xa, xb and xc) obtained from polluted soils, and enriched in diesel as sole carbon source.batchexperiments were done to study the effects of three variables (temperature,hydrocarbon conce...

turning of hardened steels using a single point cutting tool has replaced the cylindrical grinding now as it offers attractive benefits in terms of lower equipment costs, shorter set up time, fewer process setups, higher material removal rate, better surface quality and elimination of cutting fluids compared to cylindrical grinding. in order to obtain desired surface quality by machining, prope...

the genome of hb v virus of serotype ayw cloned in pbr322 and expression shuttle vector p yes2 were used for construction of the hbsag chimeric genes and their expression in saccharomyces cerevisiae. two recombinant plasmids were constructed. one of them contained the coding sequences for the major polypeptide of surface antigen. another construct carried the major polypeptide with the pre-s2 a...

in this study chemical method of dissolution-precipitation was applied to produce amorphous silica nanoparticles from rice straw ash (rsa), the waste material of rice cultivation. the morphology, particle size, structure and area of specific surface of synthesized amorphous silica nanoparticles were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (tem), x-ray diffraction analysis (xrd) and bet...

in this work, hydrochloric acid is used to remove iron impurities in the bauxite ore contained in the diasporite mineral located in the sari region. the bauxite ore was calcined at different temperatures and times, and then dissolved in a hydrochloric acid solution. after determining the optimum calcination conditions in 1 h at 900 °c, the response surface methodology (rsm) with four factors in...

context: in recent years, nanotechnology has opened up several new avenues of extraordinary biomedical potential by modulating metals into their nanosize leading to significant improvement in their chemical, physical and optical properties. introduction: the advanced fabrication techniques have been exploited to modify nanostructured materials. the functionalized nanoscaled fibers display vario...

background: there is not any report on the radiation doses received by patients in diagnostic radiology sections in hospitals under control of chaharmahal and bakhtiari medical sciences university, in the south west of iran. objectives: the aim of this study is measurement of entrance surface doses (esd) for the most routine types of x-ray procedures in radiology centers as part of ongoing dose...

as the turbine industries need to manufacture turbine blades made of martensitic stainless steel aisi 420 with high toughness and wear resistance, local laser hardening has become more and more important. in this research, surface of the samples was initially hardened by high-power pulsed laser beam; then, optimum parameters of hardening were calculated and wear resistance of surface hardened s...

ammonium carbonate and ammonium sulfate have been proposed and used as two new fuels for synthesizing gamma alumina nanoparticles. the prepared samples have been characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), 2 n  adsorption (bet) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). a comparison has been made between the properties of the nanoparticles synthesized by these two fuels and other conventional fu...

carbon activated powdered was prepared from activated carbon derived from olive stone. then byusing the surface methodology, many parameters such as ph, furnace temperature (t), acid ratio,time of activation that affect on the qualities prepared activated carbon produced and its efficiencywere investigated. in addition, the adsorption of congo red onto the activated olive stone carbonactive was...
