a comprehensive study pertaining to the emulsion liquid membrane (elm) extraction process to enrich dilute aqueous solutions of silver salt is presented. the study has highlighted the importance and influence of membrane composition for maximizing the extraction of ag+ ions. the liquid membrane was made up of cyanex-302 as an extractant and the industrial solvent mainly consists of paraffinic a...

an experiment was carried out to evaluate how interactions between forage to concentrate ratio and dietary crude protein level may alter nitrogen efficiency and ut-b expression in growing baluchi male lambs. four baluchi male lambs [30 ± 2 kg bw] were used in a 4 × 4 latin square design with 28-d periods and a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments. the treatments fed forage: concent...

Spectrophotometric procedures allow rapid and precise measurements of the pH of natural waters. However, impurities in the acid-base indicators used in these analyses can significantly affect measurement accuracy. This work describes HPLC procedures for purifying one such indicator, meta-cresol purple (mCP), and reports mCP physical-chemical characteristics (thermodynamic equilibrium constants ...

In the PREPA observational study, we investigated the factors influencing pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variability in the responses to fluindione, an oral anticoagulant drug, in a general population of octogenarian inpatients.Measurements of fluindione concentrations and international normalized ratio (INR ) were obtained for 131 inpatients in whom fluindione treatment was initiated. Tre...

No consistent metric for measuring exposure to nanoparticles has yet been agreed upon internationally. This study seeks to examine the relationship between the number concentration (NC), surface area concentration (SAC), and mass concentration (MC) of nanoparticles in workplaces. Real-time NC20-1000 nm, SAC10-1000 nm, and respirable MC100-1000 nm were determined for different nanoparticles. Con...

Thermal convection in a rotating cylinder with a radius-to-height aspect ratio of Γ=4 for fluids with large Prandtl number is studied numerically. Centrifugal buoyancy effects are investigated in a regime where the Coriolis force is relatively large and the onset of thermal convection is in the so-called wall modes regime, where pairs of hot and cold thermal plumes ascend and descend in the cyl...

background: progressions in science and technology have generated several methods for delaying preterm delivery and abortion; therefore, discovering an easy, non-invasive, practical, and non-expensive predictive factor can help us to perform preventive methods in healthy pregnant women, without any risk factors. objective: to indicate an appropriate index for predicting abortion in early pregna...

Protein fractions washed from the free small ribosome subunits present in a reticulocyte lysate, with 40 S and 60 S ribosome subunits and 9 S RNA from reticulocyte polysomes, promote the initiation of synthesis in uifro of both the LY and j3 chains of rabbit hemoglobin. Changing relative concentrations of 9 S RNA, polysome-derived ribosome subunits, and difierent initiation factor fractions cau...

The technical feasibility of using calcium oxide (CaO) as a sorbent for CO2 and Fe-Cr as a catalyst for the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction using syngas for the steam gasification of biomass was investigated. The effects of temperature, steam to biomass mass ratio, CaO to biomass molar ratio, and Fe-Cr WGS catalyst on gas composition were studied. Within a temperature range of 250 C to 550 C, ...
