DataGrids seek to pool geographically disperse storage and computational resources to solve large-scale data-intensive problems. The EU-DataGrid is a large research project attempting to build one of the first such DataGrids. Effective job submission and scheduling in DataGrids is a a significant challenge. We present an account of the EU-DataGrid scheduling architecture, some typical usage sce...

Accurate mass measurements are used to both confirm the presence of a compound and help identify unknowns. Furthermore, high-mass accuracy enables the user to generate very narrow extracted ion chromatograms, enabling excellent quantitation. This application note describes the use of the Agilent liquid chromatograph/ mass selective detector time-of-flight (LC/MSD TOF) instrument to identify and...

The feasibility of employing nanofiltration (NF) in the decolorization of ionic (direct blue 86) and nonionic (disperse blue 56) dye aqueous solutions was investigated. The effects of feed concentration (60- 180 mg/l), pressure (0.5- 1.1 MPa) and pH (6- 10) were studied. Experiments were performed in a laboratory- scale set up by using a TFC commercial spiral wound polyamide nanofilter. The res...

agricultural activities have always been partly responsible for the emission of greenhouse gases and other environmental contaminants in the atmosphere. thus, studying on the environmental effects of agricultural activities and proposing appropriate strategies to mitigate these adverse effects can be paramount importance. in this study, in order to determine the environmental impacts of peanut ...

Allergic contact dermatitis to textile dyes is considered to be a rare phenomenon. A recent review reported a prevalence of contact allergy to disperse dyes between 0.4 and 6.7%. The relevance of positive patch testing was not reported in all studies. Textile dye allergy is easily overlooked and is furthermore challenging to investigate as textile dyes are not labelled on clothing. In this repo...

When they are about two months old, male Belding’s develop the idea that natal dispersal, like other behaviors ground squirrels (Spermophilus beldingi) leave the burrow and phenotypic attributes, can be understood from mulwhere they were born, never to return. Their sisters tiple, complementary perspectives. Separating these levbehave quite differently, remaining near home throughels of analysi...
