Pyrene is a very resistant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with four benzene rings that survives in the environment. This study was aimed at investigating tolerance of earthworms soil contaminated pyrene. The studies were performed by employing gathered from shady regions adjacent to sewage ponds as pyrene degraders eradicate soil. Numerous factors affecting degradation efficiency explore...

Objectives To assess the effect of two of the most commonly used sterilization techniques on 3D printed clinical objects. Materials & Methods The two sterilization methods used in our hospital and investigated in this paper are: Steam heat and Gas plasma. Three objects were printed and tested in this study: a tooth replica, an orthognathic final splint, a surgical cutting guide for the purpos...

The passage of the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924 [4] demonstrates how science has been used to drive policy throughout history. In the case of the Virginia sterilization [5] law, the science used to draft the law was based on the principles of eugenics [6]. With the help of Harry Laughlin?s Model Sterilization Law [7], the state of Virginia was able to pass its own law allowing sterilizati...

BACKGROUND Despite the high rates of reported sterilization use among women who have spent time in correctional facilities, little is known about the context in which women in this population choose this option. The objective of our study was to use both quantitative and qualitative methods to understand factors associated with sterilization use among women leaving a U.S. jail. METHODS We adm...

Access to sterilization is a critical need for global healthcare, as it is one of the prerequisites for safe surgical care. Lack of sterilization capability has driven up healthcare infection rates as well as limited access to healthcare, especially in low-resource environments. Sterilization technology has for the most part been static and none of the established sterilization methods has been...
