the phenomenological model of khossravi and connors (1992) has been adopted to calculate the electrophoretic mobility of drugs at different concentrations of solvents in a binary mixture. the accuracy and predictability of the model have been evaluated employing 14 experimental data sets by using average percentage mean deviation (apmd). the obtained apmd for correlative and predictive studies ...

soil washing by mobilizing is one of in-situ techniques for soil decontamination. applying this technique to the contaminated soils could be followed by many environmental problems. therefore, it is important to study the effective factors on removal of heavy metals from different forms. in the present research, the forms of zn, pb, and cd in three contaminated soils from the zinc-lead smelting...

As a variety of wireless access technologies have emerged and 3G systems are evolving towards “all-IP” where both voice and data services are converged into IP core networks, IP mobility has become increasingly important. IP micro-mobility protocols have been proposed for managing local mobility. They have a hierarchical network structure, which contributes to decreased network overheads by min...

AIM Limited joint mobility and plantar pressure in the foot has not been assessed in type 1 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the joint mobility and plantar foot pressure in Asian Indian type 1 diabetic subjects and to see its association with duration of diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The joint mobility and plantar pressure were measured in 115 consecutive subjects attending...

BACKGROUND Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been associated with increased risk of disability in later life. The purpose of this study was to determine if SES has an impact on mobility functioning and to explore which physiological impairments are also associated with SES and may explain its relationship with mobility. METHODS The study sample consisted of 1025 individuals aged 65 years or ...

A greenhouse experiment has been planned for this study to delineate the benefits of two types of rice husk biochars (namely B300 and B600 which are prepared at 300°C and 600°C, respectvely) and coal fly ash (CFA), as soil amendments, for decreasing the amount of some heavy metals (like Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr, and Cu) as well as mobility and phytoavailability in an artificially-calcareous multi-element...

Factors affecting the transport and retention of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in acidic groundwaters as they pass through estuarine sediments were investigated using column experiments. Acidic groundwaters caused the rapid dissolution of iron sulfide (AVS) and other iron and manganese phases from sediments that are important for metal binding and buffering. Metal breakthrough to overlying water oc...

Virtual reality (VR) training has been used successfully to rehabilitate functional balance and mobility in both traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors and elderly subjects. Similarly, computer-based biofeedback (BF) training has resulted in decreased sway during quiet stance and decreased reaction times during a dual-task reaction time paradigm in elderly subjects. The objective of this study ...

Our review establishes the empirical evidence for patient mobility for elective secondary care services in countries that allow patients to choose their health care provider. PubMed and Embase were searched for relevant articles between 1990 and 2015. Of 5,994 titles/abstracts reviewed, 26 studies were included. The studies used three main methodological models to establish mobility. Variation ...
