Ice cream is a kind of dairy products consumed all over the world and most popular among children and adults. However, ice cream available commercially is generally poor in natural antioxidants and vitamins. Thus, it is of interest to improve the nutritional values of ice cream using spiny bitter cucumber (Gac) which is a good source of lycopene and β-carotene along with probiotic bacteria. Fir...

Drinking water biofiltration offers the possibility of removal trace level micropollutants from source water. Sand, granular activated carbon (GAC), GAC sandwich (a layer loaded in middle sand bed), and anthracite-sand dual biofilters were set-up duplicate at bench-scale to mimic filtration process real drinking treatment works. During 3-month system operation, five antibiotics (amoxicillin, cl...

We study nonlinear systems with observation errors. The main problem addressed in this paper is the design of feedbacks for globally asymptotically controllable (GAC) control affine systems that render the closed loop systems input to state stable with respect to actuator errors. Extensions for fully nonlinear GAC systems with actuator errors are also discussed.

application of granular activated carbon (gac) in adsorption process has been studied for the advanced treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. because of entering poisonous compounds such as furfural, phenol and sulfides into the oily wastewater of tehran refinery, biological aeration basins of wastewater treatment unit may not have the desired performance of cod reduction. in this st...

AIM To determine the gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) occurrence rate and related factors, we evaluated the follow-up results of patients confirmed to have gastric dysplasia after endoscopic resection (ER). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records, endoscopic examination records, endoscopic procedure records, and histological records of 667 cases from 641 patients who were followed...

This study aimed to investigate ferroptosis-related molecular subtypes and their potential value in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC). Gene expression associated clinical phenotype data were downloaded from TCGA database. Unsupervised clustering was performed identify suitable subtypes, followed by a correlation analysis of factors. set variation analysis, immune infiltration, differentially express...

During drinking water treatment, advanced oxidation process (AOP) with O3 and H2O2 may result in by-products, residual BrO3?. The containing BrO3? often flows into subsequent granular activated carbon (GAC) filters. A concentrated solution can be used as GAC modification reagent at 60 °C to improve its adsorption ability. However, whether low concentrations of residuals from AOP modify GAC, the...

BACKGROUND No study was found in the literature on the combination of TiO2/GAC catalyst and non-thermal plasma for chlorinated volatile organic compounds abatement in air. This paper presents this hybrid process for the decomposition of chloroform (as a target compound) using a multi-pin to plate discharge reactor. The experiments were performed using a high frequency pulsed transformer as the ...

PURPOSE To explore differences in long-term outcomes between gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (GNEC) and gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC). METHODS One hundred GNEC patients and 3089 GAC patients were enrolled. Differences in long-term outcomes between the groups were analyzed by 1:2 propensity score matching. RESULTS Statistically significant differences between the groups were noted in terms o...

Two mini-columns partially filled with granular activated carbon (GAC) and/or a natural zeolite, covered by a bacterial biofilm of Arthrobacter viscosus, were used in a continuous flow system to remove Cr (VI) from solutions with initial concentration of 70mg/l and a working pH ranging between 4.5 and 5.5. Three different set-up's were used: two columns in series filled GAC covered with a biofi...
