CuO-CeO2 nanocomposite is reported as a green recyclable catalyst for the chemoselective synthesis of pentaerythritol diacetals from aromatic aldehydes under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD, BET specific surface area, FESEM and EDS analysis. This procedure provides some advantages such as simple work-up, clean procedure, ...

Granulomatous prostatitis is a rare benign inflammatory condition of prostate. It is mistaken for prostatic carcinoma. Clinically it presents as hard nodule on digital rectal examination with raised serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and reduced free PSA levels. We report a rare case of non-specific granulomatous prostatitis clinically diagnosed as carcinoma prostate.

Due to recent improvements in the diagnosis of prostatic diseases pathologists are confronted with an increase in prostatic specimens as well as an increase in the spectrum of prostatic diseases that have to be differentiated. In the past few years, various diagnostic methods have been added to the clinical routine: determination of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), transrectal ultrasound ...

This study examined tenth-grade students’ (n = 263) problem solving ability (PSA) online through assessing students’ domain-specific knowledge (DSK) and reasoning skills (RS) in Earth sciences as well as their attitudes toward (AT) Earth sciences related topics in a secondary school of Taiwan. The students’ PSA was evaluated based on a previous model (Chang, C. Y. (2004, November 26–27). Trends...

Aims of study: Diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD), a collective description of clinical symptoms including decreased sensation, increased capacity, poor emptying, and also detrusor overactivity, is among the most common and costly complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). It is estimated that DBD occurs in approximately 87% of individuals diagnosed with DM, and substantially affects quality of l...

In this research effect of synthesis method of magnesium aluminate as support of Ni catalysts at the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction was evaluated. The RWGS reaction is applied in Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation to Form Methanol via a Reverse Water-Gas Shift Reaction (CAMERE) process for the transformation of CO2 into methanol. The MgAl2O4 supports were prepared by sol-gel (M1), surfactant...
