Pt impregnated on a Sn-beta catalyst results in a very promising catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, compared to the PtSn co-impregnated beta catalysts. Framework tin ions in the Sn-beta sample stabilize the nucleation of platinum nanoparticles inside the zeolite channel. These Pt(0)-Sn(4+) sites, which are only observed in the Pt/Sn-beta catalyst, have been s...

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) screening is an important procedure to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B (HBV) in a community. However, it is difficult, time consuming and expensive. In this study we aim to investigate the efficacy and usefulness of fingerprint blood impregnated paper in HBsAg screening. To our knowledge, blood impregnated paper is a practical, useful method for HBsAg...

The Truncated Cauchy Power Weibull-G class is presented as a new family of distributions. Unique models for this are in paper. statistical aspects the explored, including expansion density function, moments, incomplete moments (IMOs), residual life and reversed functions, entropy. maximum likelihood (ML) Bayesian estimations developed based on Type-II censored sample. properties Bayes estimator...

BACKGROUND Antibiotic-impregnated bone cement is infrequently used in the United States for primary total hip arthroplasty because of concerns about cost, performance, and the possible development of antibiotic resistance and because it has been approved only for use in revision arthroplasty after infection. The purpose of this study was to model the use of antibiotic-impregnated bone cement in...

In recent years, continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites have attracted attention for their high mechanical properties, secondary workability, and recyclability. However, it is not easy to impregnate resin into reinforcing fiber bundles because the melt viscosity of before curing higher than that thermosetting resin. One methods solve this problem use intermediate materials, study ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of ceramic impregnated gloves in the treatment of Raynaud's syndrome. DESIGN Double-blind, placebo-controlled study. SETTING Teaching hospital outpatient clinic. PARTICIPANTS Ninety-three patients meeting the "Pal" criteria for Raynaud's syndrome. INTERVENTIONS Treatment period of three months with use of ceramic-impregnated gloves. MAIN OUTCOME MEA...

We have performed a prospective single-blinded randomised study to evaluate the role of antibiotic-impregnated cement in the prevention of deep infection at primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with diabetes mellitus. We studied prospectively 78 arthroplasties performed for osteoarthritis in such patients. They were randomly separated into two groups. In group 1 (41 knees), cefurox...

This study demonstrates the preparation, structure, and properties of polymer-impregnated wood (PIW) based on novel Muchelia macclurei wood through the in-situ polymerization of vinyl and functional monomers. Mixed monomers of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) (2:1 molar ratio) were effectively vacuum/pressure impregnated into the cellular structure of the f...
