Background: Drug abuse is a major public health problem. Some believe that when dissociation fails to defend against emotional, physical, or sexual trauma, the person will find relief from unpleasant thoughts and emotions in opium use. On the other hand, personality disorders are considered as important predictors of treatment outcomes in drug abusers. Due to lack of adequate research in this r...

Development of advanced high-voltage electrolytes is key to achieving high-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Weakly solvating (WSE) can produce unique anion-driven interphasial chemistry via altering the power solvent, but it difficult dissolve majority Li salts and fail cycle at a cut-off voltage above 4.5 V. Herein, we present new-type WSE that regulated by anion rather than firs...

Oil spills from tanker or oil well have detrimental effects on environment and economy. One of the most economical and efficient methods for oil spill clean-up is mechanical extraction by sorbents which are not only the safest methods but also the least expensive of spill control. The potential use of agricultural by-products such as corn silk for adsorbent of crude oil from water systems was p...

Abstract Ethanol has a vast consumption around the world. Many researches confirmed some adverse effect of this component on human health. In addition, recent studies showed significant alteration in both cellular population, and protein profile of human foreskin fibroblast cell line (HFFF2) in the specific dosage of ethanol. Here, the role and interaction of some proteins (characterized by sig...

The dissociation number diss ( G ) $\text{diss}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum order set vertices inducing subgraph that degree at most 1. Computing given algorithmically hard even when restricted to subcubic bipartite graphs. For with n $n$ vertices, m $m$ edges, k $k$ components, and c 1 ${c}_{1}$ induced cycles length modulo 3, we show ? ? 3 + $\text{diss}(G)\ge n-\frac{1}{3}(m+k+{c}_{1})...
