The effect of pellet chemical composition and burning temperature on pellets’ properties of the Gol-e-Gohar hematite recovery plant was investigated in this study. Green pellets of different sodium hydroxide ratio and hydrated lime were prepared as well. Then the pellets were burnt in a muffle kiln under different temperature conditions. The Design Expert software was employed to explore ...

BACKGROUND One of the effects of burn injury is production of reactive oxygen species increasing general-structural damage. Such a condition is called oxidative stress. The purpose of this research was to find out whether oxidative stress is present in burnt children treated routinely and, if so, in which phase of the disease it is the most severe and how long it persists. MATERIAL AND METHOD...

More than 72,000 hectares of western Tasmania were burnt in 2016 due to bushfires. Bushfires in Tasmania has high social, economical, and environmental impacts. The remote delineation of these bushfires has paramount importance for decision-making authorities to help people in emergencies and planning. Considering the fact that delineation uncertainty from Earth Observation [EO] data is inevita...

The origin of pottery is among the most important questions inOldWorld archaeology. The author undertakes a critical review of radiocarbon dates associated with the earliest pottery-making and eliminates a number of them where the material or its context are unreliable. Using those that survive this process of ‘chronometric hygiene’, he proposes that food-containers made of burnt clay originate...

The efficacy of ethanedinitrile (EDN, syn. cyanogen, EDN Fumigas®) for the control of burnt pine longhorn beetle (Arhopalus ferus (Mulsant)) adults was tested using a range of ethanedinitrile concentrations. The LD 99 for adults after a 3 h exposure at 15°C was 12.6 g/m. The results demonstrate that ethanedinitrile is a potential phytosanitary alternative to methyl bromide for disinfesting burn...
