Fe3O4-containing cotton-like mesoporous silica system (Fe3O4@NCSM) was studied with regard to its performance towards the photodecolorization of bromothymol blue (BTB) aqueous solution. The surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM and TEM. The N2 Adso...

Purslane(Portulaca oleracea L.) is a local plant in Iran that can easily breed. Chromium is a heavy metal that causes toxicity for the growth and development of plants. To study the effects of  potassium dichromate on growth, efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), cell membrane stability index (MSI), indexes of oxidative stress and antioxidant properties of purslane, an experiment was d...

Considering that the effective yield of a panel is equal to its total number of hours of solar radiation and temperature, only the effects of temperature and solar radiation intensity at the maximum power point (MPP) are investigated in this article. By collecting temperature data, sun's radiation hours from six synoptic meteorological stations in Kermanshah Province over the course of an e...

Commercial-scale generation of carbon-containing chemicals and fuels by means electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R) requires electrolyzers operating at high current densities product selectivities. Membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) have been shown to be suitable for this purpose. In such devices, the cathode catalyst layer controls both rate CO2R distribution products. study, we investigate h...

The reaction kinetics of CO2 methanation over a highly active 8.5% Ni/CeO2 catalyst was determined in fixed-bed reactor, the absence heat- and mass-transfer limitations. Once activity stabilized, more than 120 kinetic experiments (with varying values temperature, total pressure, space velocity (GHSV), partial pressure products reactants) were performed. From initial rates, an apparent activatio...

The thermal denaturation of adenosine deaminase (ADA) has been investigated in the presence of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) over the temperature range of (293-363K) in 2.5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.4 by temperature scanning spectroscopy. The interaction of SDS caused the folding of adenosine deaminanse resulting in a decrease of TH (temperature of minimum solubility), TS<...

Introduction: Tumor volume delineation is the most important step in the radiation treatment planning. In this study the impact of PET/CT data on the tumor delineation precision of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was investigated. Methods: PET/CT images of 20 patients with primary NSCLC were obtained and imported to the treatment planning system for im...
