Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, manufacturing industries have primarily been responsible for adverse effects on the environment caused by pollutants such as carbon dioxide. Therefore, there has been tremendous pressure for these industries to be globally competitive within the range of environmental regulations and laws, which has been greatly increased and reinforced these da...

Background: Attention to environmental ethics can indicate the importance of the software dimension of protection along with the hardware and technical dimension. Many believe that one of the most important solutions to environmental crises is to promote environmental ethics. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the promotion of environmental ethics and th...

Cellular materials, metallic bodies with gaseous voids, are a promising class of materials that offer high strength accompanied by a relatively low mass. Unfortunately, existing manufacturing techniques constrain a designer to a predetermined part mesostructure, material type, and macrostructure. In this paper, the authors document their design rationale for the selection of the Three-Dimension...

The Platelia Aspergillus antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Bio-Rad, Marnes-la-Coquette, France) has become an important tool for the early detection of invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients (4). This ELISA uses a rat monoclonal antibody (EB-A2) which reacts with -(1,5)-galactofuranose, a side chain of galactomannan (GM). Cross-reactivity of the Platelia ELISA wit...

background: all the three nitric oxide synthase (nos) isoforms are presented in the kidney. some data provided evidences that enos activity leads to restoration of renal function after injury, but activation of inos aggravates renal failure. in the present study, we investigated that whether in gentamicin-induced renal failure selective inos blockade is beneficial. materials and methods: four g...

High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) are the most recently developed new class of materials, which are known for their unique structural properties. Lightweight materials are currently in excessive demand for transportation and energy saving applications. In this review, efforts have been made to summarize the work done towards the development of HEAs targeting lightweight applications. Some new synthesi...
