Background—Stroke occurs concurrently with myocardial infarction (MI) in '30 000 US patients each year. This number is expected to rise with the increasing use of thrombolytic therapy for MI. However, no data exist for the economic effect of stroke in the setting of acute MI (AMI). The purpose of this prospective study was to assess the effect of stroke on medical resource use and costs in AMI ...

Ground-motion models based on the Bmne point-source approximation have an underlying 092 spectrum, with a single comer frequency. These models overpredict observed spectral amplitudes at low to intermediate frequencies ( -0 .1 to 2 Hz), for earthquakes with moment magnitudes M of 4 or greater. The empirical spectra of moderate to large events tend to sag at these frequencies, relative to the le...

The development of a country depends on industrialization and agricultural production. Due to this number of industries and factories like metal industries, dyeing, fertilizers, painting industries are coming continuously which creates severe environmental pollution especially water problem should be created and also cause global warming. To controlling of environmental pollution is very big ch...

The kinetics of phosphate adsorbed on waste iron sludge was investigated in this study. Static batch adsorption experiments were performed at different initial phosphate concentrations, initial pH and temperature of solution. The initial adsorption rate increased with increasing the phosphate concentration. A shorter time, however, was required to reach adsorption equilibrium at low phosphate c...

The removal of copper(II) ion from aqueous solution by the granular activated carbon, obtained from hazelnut shells (ACHS) (Corylus avellana L. var. lunga istriana), was investigated. The ACHS was prepared from ground dried hazelnut shells by specific method carbonisation and water steam activation at 950oC for 2 h. The granular activated carbon produced from hazelnut shells has a high specific...

Potato peels which are a low cost, renewable agroindustry by-product were used for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous effluents. Batch experiments were carried out with an artificial effluent comprising of potassium dichromate in deionised water. The effects of the initial hexavalent chromium concentration, dose of biosorbent, and removal kinetics were explored. An adsorbent dosage...
