Background & Aims of the Study: Discharge of textile industry colored wastewater without enough treatment into natural water resources cause serious pollution. Most of the conventional wastewater treatment methods are not effective enough to remove these dyes from wastewater. In this study, efficiency of electrocoagulation process with iron electrodes for treatment of Reactive Yellow 14 dye...

The swelling of isoelectric gelatin added to various volumes of acid of different concentration at 5 degrees C. has been determined. The swelling is determined only by the concentration of the supernatant solution at equilibrium and is independent of the volume of acid. Similar experiments with unpurified gelatin show that in this case, owing to the presence of neutral salts the swelling is a f...

Serial determinations of plasma volume and urinary sodium excretion were determined during saluresis in 20 hypertensive patients. Although the diuretics produced a decrease in plasma volume and an increase in urinary sodium excretion in all patients, there was no direct relationship between the decrease in plasma volume and the fall in arterial pressure. Concomitant administration of dextran so...

asphaltenes are the n-pentane or n-heptane insoluble fractions of crude oil that remain in solution under reservoir temperature and pressure conditions. they are destabilized and start to precipitate when the pressure, temperature and/or composition changes occur during primary production. the precipitated asphaltene particles will then grow in size and may start to deposit onto the production ...

The effects of 0.5% bupivacaine 1.5, 2 and 3 ml in 8% glucose was compared in a double-blind study involving 30 patients undergoing spinal analgesia. The time to the onset of maximum segmental spread of analgesia was approximately 15 min for all three volumes. Cephalad spread of analgesia was related to the volume used: 1.5 ml reached T10, 2 ml T8 and 3 ml T7. The duration of analgesia increase...

The conductance catheter (CC) allows thorough evaluation of cardiac function because it simultaneously provides measurements of pressure and volume. Calibration of the volume signal remains challenging. With different calibration techniques, in vivo left ventricular volumes (V(CC)) were measured in mice (n = 52) with a Millar CC (SPR-839) and compared with MRI-derived volumes (V(MRI)). Signific...
