This study investigated the quantitative and qualitative attributes of liquid product biochar obtained from pyrolysis woody biomass (rubberwood sawdust (RWS)) non-woody biomasses (oil palm trunk (OPT) oil fronds (OPF)). The prepared was pyrolyzed at temperatures 500 °C, 550 600 °C by using an agitated bed reactor, then yields characteristics were determined. results showed that in respective ra...

UNLABELLED Emergence agitation is a frequent complication that can have serious consequences during recovery from general anesthesia. However, agitation has been poorly investigated in patients after craniotomy. In this prospective cohort study, adult patients were enrolled after elective craniotomy for brain tumor. The sedation-agitation scale was evaluated during the first 12 hours after surg...

The relationship between platelet release and fibrinopeptide A cleavage from fibrinogen to form fibrin I in vitro was examined in blood allowed to clot undisturbed or with gentle agitation. In undisturbed or agitated blood platelet release and fibrin I formation occurred simultaneously. When hirudin was added to undisturbed blood it prevented platelet release as well as fibrin I formation. In c...

APACHE, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; ICU, intensive care unit; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment. To the Editor: Renal replacement therapy is recommended to be initiated immediately in patients with life-threatening acute kidney injury (AKI) related symptoms. Ultrasound-guided insertion of hemodialysis catheter is recommended for vascular access. Agitated saline bubbl...

Effects of pellet morphology on broth rheology are reported for pelleted submerged cultures of the lovastatin producing filamentous fungus Aspergillus terreus, growing in fluidized bed and stirred tank bioreactors. The pellet diameter and compactness were affected by the agitation intensity of the broth; however, the total biomass productivity was not affected. In fluidized beds and stirred tan...

PROPER DESIGN OF IMPELLERS FOR INDUCING gas dispersion in fermenters is a widely published topic that has typically emphasized such issues as agitator power, liquid holdup and flooding (1). Recent articles have focused on the advantages that various impeller configurations may have in fermenters (2, 3). This article describes the merits of different relative impeller sizes and explains how desi...

Many elderly who are suffering from dementia are also suffering from agitation. While most assisted living facilities and home health care situations rely upon caregivers to monitor and record agitation of their patients, the accuracy is limited because the caregiver must be present during the agitation and must record the event properly. Accurate 247 data would help physicians with improved di...
