Abnormalities of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus are common in hospitalized patients. Infrequently patients might present in the outpatient settings with non-specific symptoms that might be due to abnormalities of divalent cation (magnesium, calcium) or phosphorous metabolism. Several inherited disorders have been identified that result in renal or intestinal wasting of these elements. Physic...

background there has not been any published literature in iran about the evaluation of hemodialysis patients’ knowledge in relation to dietary sources of protein, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and fluids. objectives therefore, the present study was performed with this aim, in patients with renal failure treated with hemodialysis. patients and methods fifty hemodialysis patients were recruited. ...

background: the irritant effect of some insecticides can cause a proportion of mosquitoes to leave the sprayed rooms before acquiring a lethal dose, so the repeated contact al sub-lethal dose may lead to extent the resistance. methods: larvae and pupae of culex pipiens complex were collected in mass from open canals of waste water in capital city tehran and reared to obtain the first generation...

toxic effects of malathion and endosulfan to fertile chicken eggs were determined. in-jection of 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/egg of malathion into yolk sac of fertile eggs prior to incubation caused mortality of 10.0, 30.0, 83.33 and 93.33% respectively. similar trend was observed with injection of endosulfan doses. malathion and endosulfan at 1.25 mg/egg caused no pronounced ld50 increase in mo...

Unintentional As/P exchange has a significant influence on InAs/InP nanostructures growth. In this paper we report on the As/P exchange reactions at different temperatures studied by in situ stress measurements and reflectance difference characterization. When arsenic atoms incorporate at the InP surface an asymmetric stress is built-up that is responsible for quantum wires formation. We obtain...

Geotextiles incorporating inorganic nutrients (particularly phosphorous) to enhance the growth of oil degrading microoganisms when geotextiles are used in pervious pavement applications have been shown to be effective in the past. However the cost and manufacturing difficulties have been a barrier to their use. A polypropylene random mat geotextile incorporating an alternative polymer additive ...

Photoluminescence spectroscopy at 79K is shown to provide an alternative, non-destructive characterisation method for quantifying the boron and phosphorous dopant concentrations in silicon. The dopant concentrations are revealed by the photoluminescence intensity ratios of the dopant-related features to the band-to-band recombination peaks. The intensity ratio is found to be insensitive to the ...
