Background: Total bone mass acquired during childhood is known to be the most important determinant and base of lifelong skeletal health. The present study investigated the prevalence of low bone mass for chronological age (LBM) in lumbar and femoral areas of leukemic children in the south of Iran and evaluated the association of anthropometric, clinical and laboratory data of these children ...

Fenton process, as one of the most conventional advanced oxidation processes, is widely used in the treatment of specific wastewaters, especially landfill leachate. In current study, the main target was to evaluate some neglected aspects of Fenton process in operational applications. Thus, three novel responses were introduced. Mass removal efficiency evaluates overall recalcitrant destruction ...

black bengal goat is the heritage and one of the potential genetic resources of bangladesh. genetic and phenotypic parameters for semen characteristics and their relationships with scrotal circumference in black bengal bucks were estimated in this experiment. genetic parameters were estimated by residual maximum likelihood procedure, fitting an animal model ignoring maternal genetic or permanen...

A combined gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) with headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method has been employed for the analysis of the flavor volatiles of some Iranian rice cultivars (Domsiah, Deylamani, Hashemi, Shirodi and Tarom). The samples were grown in different cities of Mazandaran province. The sampling procedure and chromatographic conditions were same for all sa...

In the present study, the effect of various nanofluids on mass transfer coefficients in an irregular packed liquid-liquid extraction column was investigated. The chemical system of toluene–acetic acid–water was used. 10 nm SiO2, TiO2 and ZrO2 nanoparticles with various concentrations were dispersed in toluene-acid acetic to provide nanofluids. The influence of concentration and hydrophobicity/h...

In this paper, we investigated the statistical analysis of thermal conductivity of nanofluids containing of decorated Ag nanorods with Cu nanoparticles. For this purpose Ag-Cu hybrid is synthesized and characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). TEM image shows that Cu nanoparticles successfully decorate on the outer surface of Ag nanorods. Th...
