Removal of natural organic matter (NOMs) from actual water is a major challenge in the context worldwide pollution resources. The removal humic acids system combining biochar adsorption and ultrasonic persulfate oxidation was studied this paper. effects addition, concentration initial pH were investigated. A high rate up to 92.5% achieved for combined biochar/ultrasonic/persulfate system, versu...

The main body of primary system valves discussed in this paper is made of stabilized austenitic stainless steel and are of intricate shapes & sizes. These bodies are produced through close die forging route and are manufactured first time in Indian forging shops. Finished forgings produced through three stage close die forging process are subjected to comprehensive quality assurance plan at eac...

New methods of sterilization employing a chemical with moderate heat and ultrasonic energy have been devised. Inactivation of high-density bacterial spore suspensions is achieved by treatment with low concentration aqueous acid glutaraldehyde solutions at temperatures above or about 54 C. Low (20 kHz) or high (250 kHz) frequency ultrasonic energy is synergistic with glutaraldehyde. Rapid inacti...

The effect of ultrasonic irradiation on the viability of human normal (foreskin fibroblast and amniotic fluid epithelial) and tumor (breast carcinoma, melanoma, and lung carcinoma) cells lines was studied. Cells were subjected to ultrasonic irradiation with a frequency of 20 kHz and an intensity of 0.33 W/cm2 for variable periods of time. Several parameters were tested to determine the effects ...

The gold standard of surgical treatment for superficial bladder tumor is transurethral resection (TUR). However, the procedure has drawbacks: it needs skill to avoid perforation of the bladder wall, while burns on the resected tissue are disadvantageous for histological examination. We developed an endoscopic ultrasonic aspiration system which is easy to manipulate and makes no burns on aspirat...

Aim and objective: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of various root planing instruments, namely the curette, standard smooth ultrasonic tip and diamond coated ultrasonic tip under conditions of nonsurgical root debridement. Materials and methods: A total of 20 incisors from 14 patients, with a pocket depth of 5 to 10 mm, indicated for extraction were selected f...
