the difficult to handle and store zinc borohydride, zn(bh4)2, is stabilized by supporting it on polyvinylpyridine. this new mild, efficient, selective, and regenerable polymer supported borohydride reducing agent reduces a variety organic compounds such as, aldehydes, a-b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, acid chlorides, epoxides, disulfides, as well as reductive acetylation of carbonyl compounds...

background: humerus fractures include 5% to 8% of total fractures. non-:union: and delayed :union: of gt (gt) fractures is uncommon; however they present a challenge to the orthopedic surgeons. significant controversy surrounds optimal treatment of neglected fractures. the purpose of this article was to perform a comparative study to evaluate the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation...

antenna structures with low side lobe levels are normally the main goal during antenna design. in this paper, a new method for reduction of radiation pattern side lobe level in phased array antenna with uniform and non-uniform weighting is presented. in this method, by changing the array elements weight or adding several elements, such as slc technique, the pattern with low side lobe level can ...

photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde was investigated on four semiconductor photocatalysts (fes, fes/fes2, nio and tio2). the reaction was carried out in continues flow of co2 gas bubbled into the reactor. semiconductor photocatalysts were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopic (drs) methods. sulfide ion was used as hole scavenger. t...

anomaly detection (ad) has recently become an important application of hyperspectral images analysis. the goal of these algorithms is to find the objects in the image scene which are anomalous in comparison to their surrounding background. one way to improve the performance and runtime of these algorithms is to use dimensionality reduction (dr) techniques. this paper evaluates the effect of thr...

aflatoxins are toxins which are usually produced by a kind of aspergillus fungus named flavus, parasiticus, and numius. there are 18 kinds of aflatoxins have been discovered by scientists and aflatoxin b1 is the most toxic and carcinogenic. taking aflatoxins present in food causes lots of diseases like liver diseases, alcoholic liver, mutagenesis, and malformation in animals. it also has some o...

in this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method at different concentrations of ag colloid in the range of 500-16000 ppm. nanoparticles were deposited by spin coating method on pre-etched glass and si substrates. structural, optical and electrical properties of the samples were studied using scanning electron microscopy equipped with edax, uv-vis spectrophotomet...

abstract aims: the application of photocatalytic processes to remove heavy metals in aqueous solutions and industrial wastewater are regarded as extremely effective, clean and without producing waste methods. the goal of the present study was to investigate the photocatalytic activity of zno based on h-zsm-5 zeolite support. materials & methods: zno/h-zsm-5 composite synthesized by impregnation...

key dissimilarities between thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (was) were experimentally studied in this research. typical was with total solids (ts) concentrations of 30 and 60 g/l were digested anaerobically in a batch digester at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. solids reduction, total cod changes, the production of different volatile fatty ...
