The Silica monolith particles (SMP) were prepared from Tetra-Methyl-Ortho-Silicate (TMOS) and characterized by Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), surface area analyzer. FTIR analysis showed the Si?O stretching confirming SMP formation. SEM provided information about mean diameter of (1?5 µm). EDX confirmed presence...

Performances of two common types of red mud, Bayer red mud and Sintering red mud, were investigated in this research. Their compositions, mechanical properties and microstructure characterization were measured through XRD, TG and SEM analysis. Their shear strength, particle size, density and hydraulic characteristics also had been performed. Huge differences between the basic mineral types of t...

In this paper, two framelet based deconvolution algorithms are proposed. The basic idea of framelet based approach is to convert the deconvolution problem to the problem of inpainting in a frame domain by constructing a framelet system with one of the masks being the given (discrete) convolution kernel via the unitary extension principle of [26], as introduced in [6, 7, 8, 9] . The first algori...

The phytochrome family of photoreceptors (there are five phytochromes in Arabidopsis, named phyA to phyE) maximally absorbs red and far-red light and plays important functions throughout the life cycle of plants. Several recent studies have shown that multiple related bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) class transcription factors play key roles in phytochrome signal transduction. Somewhat surprising...

The fermentation and quality characteristics of kimchi, made by adding different types of red pepper (semi-dried red pepper, fresh red pepper, dried red pepper) according to drying conditions, were examined for 15 days at 10C fermentation. The initial pH was approximately 5.65~5.72 in all groups, and the pH decreased with increasing fermentation time. The color value of a/b showed the highest i...

BACKGROUND Laser/light-based devices may provide an alternative to conventional acne therapeutics in some patients with nonresponsive acne. OBJECTIVE We investigated the efficacy of red or infrared light-emitting diode (LED) devices in a mouse model of Propionibacterium acnes-induced inflammation through clinical examination and histopathological and immunohistochemical studies. METHODS A h...

Abstract Individuals hold normative ideas about the just distribution of goods and burdens within a social aggregate. These guide evaluation existing inequalities refer to four basic principles: (1) Equality stands for an equal rewards burdens. While principle (2) need takes individual contributions into account, (3) equity suggests based on merit. The (4) entitlement that ascribed (e.g., gende...
