2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) is a common taste and odor compound caused by off-flavor secondary metabolites, which represents one of the greatest challenges for drinking water utilities worldwide. A TiO2-coated activated carbon (TiO2/PAC) has been synthesized using sol-gel method. new TiO2/PAC photocatalyst successfully employed in photodegradation 2-MIB under UV light irradiation. In addition, c...

Abstract Statistical testing procedures employed in geodetic quality control often consist of two steps: detection and identification. In the step, null hypothesis (working model) $$\mathcal {H}_0$$ ℋ 0 undergoes a validity check. If outcome step ...

Cell kinetic parameters were measured in four cases of meningioma showing regrowth. The cell cycle time (Tc) and tumor doubling time (Td) were established by histological evaluation of the biopsy specimens and calculation of the growth curve based on computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance (MR) images. MIB-1 mouse monoclonal antibody, which recognizes an epitope of the Ki-67 antigen, was us...

Despite some deficiencies, the Internet management framework is widely deployed and thousands of Management Information Base (MIB) modules have been defined thus far. These modules are used by implementors of agent software, as well as by managers and management applications, to understand the syntax and semantics of the management information that may be exchanged. At the manager’s side, MIB m...

Mycoplasmas are "minimal" bacteria able to infect humans, wildlife, and a large number of economically important livestock species. Mycoplasma infections include a spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from simple fever to fulminant inflammatory diseases with high mortality rates. These infections are mostly chronic, suggesting that mycoplasmas have developed means to evade the host immun...

AIMS To determine the relation between clinical outcome and tumour grade defined by a MIB-1 (Ki-67) score based grading system. METHOD The clinical and pathological features of 50 patients with myxoid liposarcoma were evaluated, and MIB-1 immunostaining was performed to grade these patients' tumours. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to evaluate survival. Clinical follow up ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the proliferative potential of rests of odontogenic epithelium found in follicles of unerupted teeth, epithelium of oral mucosa and epithelial linings of various odontogenic cysts. MIB-1 expression was studied in the rests of odontogenic epithelium (n=10), healthy oral mucosa (n=10), odontogenic keratocysts (n=10) and other odontogenic cysts (n=10) using ...

Canal wall brushing, accomplished by a tractor-mounted custom-designed rotating metal brush, was an effective means of removing nuisance periphytic cyanobacterial growth and consequently reducing MIB and geosmin production in the Arizona Canal, a major water conveying open channel in the metropolitan Phoenix (Arizona) water supply system. On average, c. 80% of the periphyton biomass was removed...

PURPOSE To study intraretinal proliferation as a response to experimental retinal detachment using an antibody that recognizes the nuclear specific antigen Ki-67 in proliferating cells. METHODS Experimental retinal detachments were produced in cats (1, 3, 7, and 28 days) and rabbits (1, 3, and 7 days). The animals were killed and the eyes were fixed and embedded in paraffin. Histologic sectio...
