Natural organic matter (NOM) can affect the performance of water treatment processes, and serves as a main precursor for the formation of disinfection byproduct (DBPs) during chlorination. To minimize such undesirable effects, a better understanding of its structural information and reactivity toward chlorine is necessary. In this study, electrospray ionization coupled to Fourier transform ion ...

Water chemistry affects the nucleation kinetics, precipitate morphology, and quantity of ironIJIII) (hydr)oxide nanoparticles, directly impacting the reactive surface area of geomedia and fate of associated waterborne contaminants. In this study, we utilized in situ grazing-incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and complementary ex situ techniques to investigate heterogeneous ironIJII...

Accurately measuring the bioavailability of organic contaminants associated with complex environmental matrices is necessary for assessing contaminant risk, as well as for evaluating the effectiveness of proposed and in-place remediation strategies. Due to its importance, the bioavailability of organic contaminants associated with soils and sediments has been widely examined at the macroscopic ...

BACKGROUND The concept of pharmaceutical care (PC) specifically refers to the pharmacist being able to identify, prevent and resolve negative outcomes associated with medication (NOM). According to the Third Consensus of Granada, these are patient health-related outcomes not consistent with pharmacotherapy objectives, and are associated with the proper or erroneous use of medicines. In this way...

BACKGROUND Although nonoperative management (NOM) has become standard care, optimal treatment of liver injuries in children is still challenging since many of these patients have multiple injuries. Moreover, the role of angiography remains poorly defined, and a high index of suspicion of complications is warranted. This study reviews treatment and outcomes in children with liver injuries at a m...

INTRODUCTION Nonoperative management (NOM) of rectal cancer after a complete clinical response (cCR) to neoadjuvant therapy is controversial. In this article, we retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of patients managed with selective NOM after a cCR to neoadjuvant treatment and compared these with patients who underwent standard rectal resection with a pathological complete response (pCR). M...

conclusions the findings of this study showed that the modification of natural zeolites can achieve higher adsorption capacity for organics. in addition, based on the results, natural zeolite being modified with sds as a cationic surfactant had good efficiency for the adsorption of nom. results the results indicated that sds-modified zeolite showed greatly enhanced adsorption capacity. findings...

RATIONALE ³¹P magnetization saturation transfer (MST) experiment is the most widely used method to study ATP metabolism kinetics. However, its lengthy data acquisition time greatly limits the wide biomedical applications in vivo, especially for studies requiring high spatial and temporal resolutions. OBJECTIVE We aimed to develop a novel superfast MST method that can accurately quantify ATP p...

Recently collected data have shown that natural organic matter (NOM) source is an important parameter influencing the toxicity of silver to the freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna. The present study attempted to correlate the physicochemical properties of 11 naturally isolated and commercially available NOM sources with their ameliorative effects. The protection offered by these samples was sta...

Here we present a stochastic biogeochemical model for the formation, transformation and mineralization of natural organic matter (NOM). The model is agent-based, with each software agent representing a single molecule of defined composition. Molecular properties and reactivities are estimated from composition and environmental parameters. Environmental parameters including temperature, pH, ligh...
