A biofilter using granular activated carbon with immobilized Paracoccus sp. CP2 was applied to the elimination of 10-250 ppm of trimethylamine (TMA), dimethylamine (DMA), and methylamine (MA). The results indicated that the system effectively treated MA (>93%), DMA (>90%), and TMA (>85%) under high loading conditions, and the maximum degradation rates were 1.4, 1.2, and 0.9g-Nkg(-1) GAC d(-1). ...

Two series of banana-shaped liquid crystalline (LC) H-bonded complexes HPm/CBn (i.e., bent-core H-bonded sidechain homopolymer HP mixed with bent-core covalent-bonded small molecule CB) and CPm/HBn (i.e., bent-core covalent-bonded side-chain homopolymer CP mixed with bent-core H-bonded small molecular complex HB) with various m/n molar ratios were developed. The bent-core covalentand H-bonded s...

We present a method for exploring θ -dependence in two-dimensional U(1) gauge theories which is based on the calculation of fractionally charged Wilson loops in the θ = 0 theory. Including a Wilson loop with charge q = θ/2π in the path integral of a U(1) gauge theory in two spacetime dimensions is equivalent to including a θ -term in the two-volume enclosed by the loop. We study the θ -dependen...

In the present study, novel co-processed superdisintegrants were developed by solvent evaporation method using crospovidone and sodium starch glycolate in different ratios (1:1, 1:2 & 1:3) for use in the fast dissolving tablet formulations. The developed excipients were evaluated for angle of repose, Carr’s index and Hausner’s ratio in comparison with physical mixture of superdisintegrants. The...

We define stationary descendent integrals on the moduli space of stable maps from disks to (CP1,RP1). prove a localization formula for theory involving contributions fixed points and all corner-strata. use recursion relation closed genus 0 disk cover invariants in case. For higher invariants, we propose conjectural formula.

Several biomarker enzymes such as catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) can be used to measure oxidative stress in animals caused by exposure xenobiotics. The objective of the present study was characterize different points Capivari (CP1 CP2), Paraguaçu (PG1 PG2) Subaé (SB1 SB2) Rivers, state Bahia, relation presence xenobiotics, using CAT GST bioindicators M. jelskii. water-sampli...
