Abstract Scientific publications and newsfeeds recently focused on flushable wet wipes their role in sewage system blockages. It is stated that although products are marked as flushable, they do not disintegrate after being disposed of via the toilet. In this work it shown wetlaid hydroentangled lose initially good dispersive properties during storage condition. As a consequence, we suggesting ...

according to the importance of obtaining accurate informations on drought conditions and it risk management for water right of major wetlands in iran, in this study climatic coefficients of palmer index for 17 watersheds in country was calibrated and zonation and their range in basins containing international wetlands were investigated. results showed that in wet conditions, in basins such as c...

AIMS To evaluate the correlation between an urgency severity scale (USS) based on a voiding diary with detrusor overactivity (DO) in a videourodynamic study in patients with an overactive bladder (OAB). METHODS We prospectively enrolled 190 consecutive patients with OAB. All patients were assessed using a USS and completed a 3-day voiding diary that recorded urgency and urgency urinary incont...

BACKGROUND: In the management of cutaneous melanoma, it is desirable to complete the regional lymphadenectomy during the initial surgical procedure for wide excision of biopsy site and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. In this study, we optimized and evaluated a rapid 17 minutes immunostaining protocol. The discriminatory immunostaining pattern associated with the 'MCW Melanoma Cocktail' (mixtu...

Across Europe, the majority of afforestation is carried out on former agricultural land. Given this current planting trend it is important to assess the impact that afforestation will have on the flora and fauna of habitats typically used for afforestation. The study aim was to investigate the initial effects of afforestation (5 years after planting) on the ground-dwelling spider fauna within t...

The primary goal of the Florida Atmospheric Mercury Study (FAMS) was to quantify the atmospheric deposition of Hg throughout Florida. Monthly integrated precipitation and weekly integrated particulate samples were collected at 10 sites in Florida for periods ranging from 2 to 5 yr. The monthly rainfall across the state and the concentrations of Hg in wet-only and bulk deposition increased by a ...

This research relates to the cellulosic fibres of treated deinked Mixed Office Waste (MOW) paper and is directed particularity to a method for improving the wet strength of recycled paper. The effect of chemical treatment of fibre was investigated. Fibres were treated with 6 and 10% Succinic Acid (SA), with 3% and 5% catalysts (based on the total weight of fibres). The catalysts used for this r...
