A novel electrolytic groundwater remediation process, which used the H(2) continuously generated at cathode to achieve in situ catalytic hydrodechlorination, was developed for the treatment of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in groundwater. Catalytic hydrodechlorination using Pd supported on bamboo charcoal and external H(2) showed that 2,4-DCP was completely dechlorinated to phenol within 30 min ...

background: this study aimed to evaluate the design of emergency departâ­ments regarding to the patients’ and staff's privacy, confidentiality and facilities in genâ­eral teaching hospitals. methods: emergency departments of all the general teaching hospitals of shahid beâ­heshti university of medical sciences, tehran, iran were evaluated in 2007 through both direct observation and interview ...

One of the most appropriate methods for elimination of trace impurities in helium is cryogenic adsorption process. So, in this study design and construction of cryogenic adsorption helium purification system (3 Nm3.hr-1, 80 bar) carried out using activated carbon as adsorbent at 77K. To evaluation of adsorption dynamics and effect of pressure on elimination of trace impurities, helium purificat...

AIM Des-γ-carboxyprothrombin (DCP) has been used as a tumor marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently the DCP/NX-DCP ratio, calculated by dividing DCP by NX-DCP, has been reported useful in detecting HCC. The purpose of this study is to clarify the significance of DCP and NX-DCP expression in HCC tissues. METHODS HCC and non-HCC tissue samples were obtained from 157 patients and wer...

We introduce a novel large-scale Digital Construction Platform (DCP) for on-site sensing, analysis, and fabrication. The DCP is an inprogress research project consisting of a compound robotic arm system comprised of a 5-axis Altec hydraulic mobile boom arm attached to a 6-axis KUKA robotic arm. Akin to the biological model of human shoulder and hand this compound system utilizes the large boom ...

in order to determine the effects of substitution of barley grain with dried citrus pulp (dcp) on eight lactating holstein cows with average body weight of 550 ± 50 kg and 75 ± 15 days in milk were allocated to 4 dietary treatments, which were diet; the control with 0% dried citrus pulp (dcp) and 15% barley grain, diet 2, 3 and 4 containing 5, 10 and 15% dcp and 10, 5 and 0% barley grain respec...
