liquid-phases adsorption equilibrium of phenol onto two naturally available soils namely kalathur soil (kr) and adhanur soil (ar) were studied. the experimental data were analyzed using fourteen isotherm models, ranging from single-parametric model to multi-parametric models (up to 5 parameters) of the system. results show that in general the accuracy of models to fit experimental data improves...

PURPOSE To describe the use of argon laser iridoplasty following implantation of a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) to improve visual function. METHODS Argon laser spots of 500-mW power, 500-μm spot diameter, and 500-ms duration were placed in the midperipheral iris in the area in which the iris was encroaching on the IOL. RESULTS Argon laser iridoplasty provided statistically significant ...

The physics of helium and argon rf discharges have been investigated in the pressure range from 50 to 760 Torr. The plasma source consists of metal electrodes that are perforated to allow the gas to flow through them. Current and voltage plots were obtained at different purity levels and it was found that trace impurities do not affect the shape of the curves. The electron temperature was calcu...

Molecular dynamics and DSMC models for energy transfer in argon dimer argon monomer collisions are compared. The inelastic collision number for these collisions is evaluated, and found to decrease significantly when gas temperature increases.

introduction: the powdered activated carbon treatment (pact) has been proposed as an alternative in wastewater treatment and wastewater biomass protection against toxic substances. this study aims to evaluate pact performance in treating dyes, acid orange, and remazol brilliant reactive blue. methods: this empirical- applied research was carried out in pilot scale in which different dye removal...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the deposition of the hydroxyapatite (ha) coating via the electrophoresis procedure. the ha deposition was performed in an ethanol, methanol, acetone and isopropanol suspension. methanol was found to be the best deposition media. among the different environmental conditions, including the encapsulation of the samples under two vacuum types of pressur...

purpose: to report a case of hypotonous maculopathy after blunt trauma and its treatment. patient and findings: a 34-year-old woman presented with decreased visual acuity in her left eye following blunt trauma. right eye examination was unremarkable, but visual acuity of left eye was counting fingers. slit lamp biomicroscopy of the left eye was within normal limits, but on funduscopy, papilloma...

the nanoparticles of ti and tio2 have attracted extensive research interest because of their diverse applications in, for instance, catalysis, energy conversion, pigment and cosmetic manufacturing and biomedical engineering. through this project, a one-step bulk synthesis method of electromagnetic levitational gas condensation (elgc) was utilized for the synthesis of monodispersed and crystalli...

As a result of the discovery of Kallmann and Rosent"2 that the probability of charge transfer is very great for gas ions moving in a gas of their own molecular or atomic species, the possibility of obtaining an atomic beam of high intensity is at once indicated. Since the charge transfer itself takes place without altering the translatory energy of the moving ion, the translatory energy of the ...

In this research, the high-energy planetary mill was employed to produce nanocrystalline Ti-50Al(γ)(at%) powders. Initial powders were mechanically alloyed in 99.9999% and 90% purities of Argon and also Air atmosphere with alloying times up to 50h. The effect of impurity of Argon atmosphere on the microstructure and the rate of phase transformation of Ti-50Al were investigated during mechanical...
