We present an experimental and theoretical study of the breakthrough performance of the flexible metal-organic framework Cu(bpy)2(BF4)2 (bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine), termed ELM-11. Pure CO2, He, CH4, and N2 gases, as well as binary gas mixtures of those species, were used to perform breakthrough experiments on ELM-11. ELM-11 exhibits a stepped breakthrough curve for CO2 not seen in rigid adsorbents....

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of serum (1,3)-beta-D-glucan (BDG) for earlier detection of breakthrough candidemia. We reviewed the medical records of patients with candidemia from January 2008 to March 2013. Serum BDG was measured by Wako turbidimetric assay. During the study period, a total of 147 cases of candidemia were identified, and 31 patients met the criteria for ...

Abstract A sets of sand column experiments were conducted to investigate the transport and deposition of colloids in water-saturated porous media, and the mechanism of the permeability reduced by transport and deposition of colloids are discussed. The research results show that the breakthrough curves of colloid transport in water-bearing media presented as three stages: “not-yet-breakthrough”,...

Seizures are one of the commonest neurological symptoms seen in children. Recurrent seizures could ensue from epilepsy, febrile seizures, provoked seizures, drug inefficacy or with, or due to unknown or systemic illnesses [1]. A breakthrough seizure is an epileptic seizure that occurs, despite the use of anticonvulsants that have otherwise successfully prevented seizures in the patient. Breakth...

fio = atomic transition oscillator strength g = linewidth distribution function, sec We have demonstrated the use of laser-induced flug = energy-averaged Gaunt factor orescence (LIF) to monitor the charge-exchange ion 9i = degeneracy for atomic level i erosion of the molybdenum accelerator electrode in h = Planck's constant, J sec ion thrusters. This real-time, nonintrusive method h = Planck's ...

in this study, bimodal meso-porous silica (uvm-7) synthesized and fabricated amino silane modified supports were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), n2 adsorption/desorption, transmission electron microscope (tem), elemental analysis and titration. capacity of co2 capture on modified bimodal pore structure silica at 70°c was calculated using breakthrough curves; and it was found th...

Virological breakthrough is a clinical manifestation in patients infected with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), who undergo treatment with nucleoside/nucleotide analogs (NUCs). The current understanding of the underlying mechanism of virological breakthrough is limited. Ultra‑deep pyrosequencing (UDPS) is a novel and powerful tool used to investigate minor viral variants and viral evolution. The pres...

this paper focused on a simple approach for synthesis of molybdenum oxide (moo3) nanoparticles and reports a facile route for synthesis of such nanoparticles, using microwave irradiation as a homogenous and powerful source of heating, using ethylene glycol as the solvent and heating medium. for more investigations, besides microwave heating, the obtained solutions were also treated by conventio...

The possibility of selective leaching process was investigated during molybdenite flue dust leaching to recover its rhenium content. The results show that addition of alcohols to water makes the medium less favorable for molybdenum transfer into aqueous phase. On the other hand, addition of small amounts of alcohols (5-15%) makes a noticeable separation of rhenium over molybdenum, but by increa...
