Objectives There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that barriers to functional recovery are associated with a host of neurocognitive impairments in both the early and later course of schizophrenia. Given the significant influence of cognitive functions on daily functioning, several cognitive training approaches have been developed to improve cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. Increasin...

This paper reviews contamination status, sources and remediation of heavy metals in agricultural land of most Asian countries, with an emphasis to China, which are undergoing rapid economic development. Some farmland soil in suburbs of most cities and sewage irrigation district in China are polluted to some extend with heavy metals such as Cd, As, Zn, Cu, and Hg, consequently resulting in metal...

Abstract Coal fly ash (CFA) is a byproduct of thermal power plant and collected from flue gases by separator. Composition CFA depends on the type coal used it has both crystalline amorphous character. It considered to be an environmental pollutant in number areas. useful material widely cement production as promising adsorbent for water remediation. remediation wastewater solves problems relate...

The increased surface area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles, quantum size effects and the ability to tune surface properties through molecular modification make nanostructures ideal for environmental remediation. The present piece of work reports the preparation and characterization of nano cellulosic fibers (NCFs) with further polymeric reinforcement using vinyl sulphonic acid for the remediat...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a computer - based training program of attention, memory and executive functions in enhancing neuropsychological performances as well as functional outcome in clients with schizophrenia.a total of 15 clinically stable out patients with diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (dsm-iv-tr) criteria for schizophrenia, diagnosed wit...

A variety of techniques for environmental remediation have been compiled and summarized. The paper is intended to provide an overview of remediation methods currently utilized at various hazardous waste sites. Specific examples of method application are given when possible and references for each technique are provided should more detailed information be desired. Remediation methods, categorize...

This paper presents a system that detects unknown malware in user PCs, and automatically creates tools that restore the PCs to the pre-infection states. This system incorporates with dynamic malware analysis systems to detect malware, and creates remediation tools based on the analysis reports. Using the behavior information in the reports, the remediation tools not only delete the malware, but...

Thermal Conduction Heating (TCH) is a major component of In Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD), a soil remediation technology in which heat and vacuum are applied simultaneously. Heat flows into the soil primarily by conduction from heaters typically operated between 1000 and 1500oF (540 and 815oC). The heaters are installed in wells at regular intervals within the soil. As the soil is heated, wate...
