The stability of supported metal particles is an important parameter in heterogenous catalysis. For silver catalysts on α-alumina, industrially used ethylene epoxidation, the loss surface area as result particle growth one most deactivation mechanisms. In this work, was investigated by exposing to thermal treatments. presence oxygen during heating strongly enhanced growth, and interparticle dis...

background tendon injuries are common and it takes a long time for an injured tendon to heal. adverse phenomena such as adhesion and rupture are associated with these injuries. finding a method to reduce the time required for healing whichimproves the final outcome, will lead to decreased frequency and intensity of adverse consequences. this study was designed to investigate the effects of basi...

some 190 specimens of sefidrud loach, oxynoemacheilus bergianus , were collected from aras river (northwestern iran) and age, size, and some biological characteristics of the samples were investigated from march to july 2013. the maximum age was 3 + years. the specimens ranged in size from 42 to 64mm for males and 45 to 61mm for females in total length, weighing from 0.62 to 2.03g for males and...
