Technologies for the reduction of nitric oxide are well established and a critical resource in reducing emission nitrogen oxides released during combustion. Herein, we demonstrate more sustainable approach, utilising Earth-abundant metals supported on waste-derived carbon to facilitate this reaction. Selective catalytic reduction, whereby reductant is used convert NO over bed into nitrogen, reg...

Before passing to the principal aspect of this subject it is necessary to consider first the train of reactions which are known to set in when a person is subjected to physical trauma, and then to appreciate their bearing on dietary requirements. It is also important to note the influence of the patient's physiological condition at the time of trauma on the subsequent sequence of events. In cas...

The combined program of chemotherapy with potent antimicrobial agents and decreased application of bed rest provided broad opportunities to expand rehabilitation services and to assist hospitalized tuberculous patients in all areas of social, emotional, and vocational adjustment,”2 Thus, at National Jewish Hospital, it became possible to offer a variety of rehabilitation services specifically d...

Planning for mass gatherings involves health system preparedness based on an understanding of natural and technological hazards identified through prior risk assessment. We present the expected hazards reported by health administrators of the host cities for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and discuss the hazards considering minimal available public hospital beds in the 12 cities at the time ...

Campabadal, Carlos A. Ph. D., Purdue University, December 2013. Ozonation Systems as a Non-Chemical Alternative for Stored Grain Protection. Major Professors: Dirk E. Maier and Richard L. Stroshine. The use of ozone as a non-chemical alternative in stored grain protection was studied by conducting scale-up demonstrations using a fixed bed ozonation system and developing a semi-continuous counte...
