cucumber is one of the main vegetables in iranian food basket. a wide range of pesticides are used for crops protection during the cultivation of vegetables such as cucumber due to heavy pest infestation. analysis of pesticide residues in food and other environmental commodities have become essential requirement for consumers, producers, and food quality control authorities. this study was aime...

An amoniumvanadate plus sodium molybdate mixed modifier Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometric method has been developed for determination of traces of lead in drinking water. The concentration of lead in the sample is obtained by direct comparison to linear working graph prepared from aqueous standards in the modifier medium, The results indicate the better performance of the pro...

A variational and perturbative treatment is provided for a family of generalized spiked harmonic oscillator Hamiltonians H = − d dx + Bx + A x + λ xα ,where B > 0, A ≥ 0 , and α and λ denote two real positive parameters. The method makes use of the function space spanned by the solutions |n> of Schrödinger’s equation for the potential V (x) = Bx + A x . Compact closed-form expressions are obtai...

We investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on income levels, poverty, and inequality in both immediate aftermath during uneven recovery until December 2021 using high-frequency household survey data from India. find that average incomes dropped sharply months nationwide lockdown. The subsequent remained incomplete was unevenly spread over population even 22 after start pandemic. Poverty mor...

Continuous flow centrifugation (CFC) was used in conjunction with immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and immunofluorescence microscopy (IFA) and nested PCR to recover and detect oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum and cysts of Giardia intestinalis from 10L volumes of source water samples. Using a spiking dose of 100 oocysts, nine of 10 runs were positive by IFA, with a mean recovery of 4.4+/-2.27 oo...

The influence of different parameters on the sorption profiles of trace and ultra traces of gold (I) species from the aqueous cyanide media onto the solid sorbents ion exchange polyurethane foams (IEPUFs) and commercial unloaded polyurethane foams (PUFs) based polyether type has been investigated. The retention of gold (I) species onto the investigated solid sorbents followed a first-order rate...
