Oxidation of sulfide-containing ores is the main cause of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), which is an environmental problem associated with both the abandoned and active mines. Iron-bearing sulfide minerals can be oxidized and form mine waters with high sulfate content, low pH, high electrical conductivity, high redox potential, and high concentrations of iron, aluminum, and other heavy metals. In th...

This paper presents a generic approach for surface modelling of 3D objects from volume data. Our strategy is to shape a closed surface of connected triangles to match the edge of the object. The adaptive strategy we suggest invokes minimisation of an energy function containing a set of individually weighted terms reeecting a set of desired goals. From the closed surface of triangles we are able...

serum glucose levels (18±2 mg/dl, P <0.001) and serum insulin levels (12±3 IAU/ml, P < 0.001) in six chronically catheterized control fetuses of the same gestational ages. Glucose infusion to the fetuses did not alter maternal serum glucose (60±3 mg/dl) or serum insulin levels (35±5 MAU/ml). Arterial blood gases (pH 7.34±0.01, Po2 24.3±0.5 mmHg, Pco2 41.5±0.9 mmHg), oxygen saturation (73±2%), h...

Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) are biomimetic nanocarriers used for the encapsulation of a broad variety of active ingredients. Similar to surface active compounds, LNCs contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts in their structure. Moreover, the components of LNCs, macrogol 15 hydroxystearate (MHS) and lecithin, are known for their surface active properties. Therefore, the aim of this paper was...

We present a multilayer device which allows the control of Surface Plasmon (SP) propagation properties (propagation length and extension). A simple modification on an inner air gap thickness strongly affects SP propagation mode due to coupling with Parallel-Plate (PP) mode.

We report synthesis of surface-active quaternary amino polyfluorosiloxanes. Hydrosilation of silanic hydrogen containing polyfluorosiloxanes with olefinic epoxides, in the presence of a platinum–divinyltetramethyldisiloxane complex gave epoxy polyfluorosiloxanes. These, on further reaction with various amines followed by quaternization, gave quaternary amino polyfluorosiloxanes. The quaternary ...
