The need to drive towards sustainable metal resource recovery from end-of-cycle products cannot be overstated. This review attempts investigate progress in the development of recycling strategies for strategic metals, such as precious metals and base catalytic converters, e-waste, batteries. Several methods resources have been explored these waste streams, pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, biohy...

This paper describes two-fold approach towards utilizing Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) in Wireless Adhoc Network (AdocNet). A distributed checkpointing and recovery protocol is proposed. The protocol eliminates useless checkpoints and helps in selecting only dependent processes in the concerned checkpointing interval, to recover. A process starts recovery from its last checkpoint only if it f...

Several studies have shown that oil recovery significantly increased by low salinity water flooding (LSWF) in sandstones. However, mechanism of oil recovery improvement is still controversial. CO2 that develops buffer in presence of water is expected as a deterrent factor in LSWF efficiency based on mechanism of IFT reduction due to pH uprising. No bright evidence in literature suppo...

This paper presents an analysis of the material recovery system for leaded glass from cathode ray tubes (CRTs) using a dynamic material flow analysis. In particular, the global mass flow of primary and secondary CRT glass and the theoretical capacities for using secondary CRT glass to make new CRT glass are analyzed. The global mass flow analysis indicates that the amount of new glass required ...

E. J., a Jew, aged 51, stout and of apparently healthy constitution, wa3 admitted on the 29th December 1874 into the Mayo Native Hospital with a small scrotal tumour of three years' standing. The growth of the tumour has lately been rapid, but unattended with fever, the integument of tho penis and scrotum were equally involved in tho hypertrophic growth, and the penis was imbedded in it. The ma...

Effective removal of mcroury conl”amindionborn water is a compl~x and difficult problcm. In patiicular, mercury treatment ornuluml waters is difficult because of the low regulatory w.amkirds. For exmnplc, MCEnvironnwntiil Protection Agency lMS established a natioml wnbitmt waler quality standwd of 12 pans-per-trillion (ppt), whereas the slandwd is 1.8 ppt in the Great LakGSJ Rugion. In addition...

BACKGROUND The chronic use of glucocorticoids (GC) suppresses function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and often results in secondary adrenal insufficiency (AI). The present study aimed to determine the recovery rate of adrenal function in patients with secondary AI within 1 to 2 years and to assess the factors predictive of adrenal function recovery. METHODS This was a retrospecti...

Context. Transient secondary adrenal insufficiency (SAI) is an expected complication following successful adenomectomy of ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas or unilateral adrenalectomy for cortisol-secreting adrenal adenomas. To date, no pharmacological therapy has been shown to hasten recovery of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in this clinical scenario. Case Description. A 33-yea...
