in this research, the thin films of n-s doped titanium dioxide (tio2) were successfully prepared by simple sol-gel method in the presence of tetrabutylorthotitanate as a starting reagent. furthermore, titanium dioxide (tio2) was functionalized with thiourea. furthermore, n-s doped titanium dioxides (nsto) were fixed on glass balls by glass balls fixed-bed reactor system. besides, the effect of ...

The use of biomass indoor Honai (traditional house) in Wamena have been conducted for several decades and become a traditional habit of Honai occupants. Since air temperature at night in Wamena Regency is cold the inhabitans burn the Kasuari woods to warm their body. As a result, they continuously inhale the Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and some contaminated air in Honai room...

Chronic diseases, especially cancer, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory diseases, are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Canada alone, chronic diseases account for 87% of total disability and 89% of all deaths (1). It is estimated that half of the Canadian population live currently with a chronic illness and more than 90% of them have these three diseases (1). Chro...

Urban agglomerations are places of increased emissions of anthropogenic pollutants into the atmosphere. Since most of these pollutants are harmful to humans, reduction of their ambient concentrations is a major issue of environmental policy on international, national, and local levels. According to Wiederkehr and Yoon (1998), air pollutants can be grouped into major and trace or hazardous air p...

to evaluate the effects of various concentration of carbon dioxide and salinity stress on morphophysiological characteristics of amaranthus tricolor l. an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions in faculity of agriculture ferdowsi university of mashhad. the experiment was split plot based on completely randomized design with three levels of co2 (380, 700, 1050 µl/l) and three concentr...

In animals metabolic processes, involve complex organic molecules being broken down to simpler molecules, such as carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide waste is removed from the body through respiration. Carbon dioxide content in fresh air is approximately 400 parts per million. In this study, we investigate the relationship between ventilation efficiency and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrati...

* Correspondence: [email protected] 1. Brief historical notes and discovery of cadmium Friedrich Stromeyer and Karl Hermann discovered cadmium (Cd) almost simultaneously in 1817 in samples of zinc oxide obtained by roasting zinc carbonate from Salzgitter (Germany). Cd has no amphoteric properties and, although cadmiate anions are found, it does not dissolve in bases (Borsari, 2011). Cd is a ...

The wine spoilage yeast species Dekkera bruxellensis, after inoculation in red wines, displayed three survival patterns characterized by: i) initial lag phase followed by growth and sequential death; ii) initial death phase leading to reduced viable counts followed by growth and sequential death; and iii) death phase leading to complete loss of viability. These survival patterns were observed f...

the present research analyzes air quality in ahvaz, a city in the south of iran, paying special attention to sulfur dioxide (so2). in order to prepare the average data in the city, measurements have been carried out between 2009 and 2010 in two different locations. relations between sulfur dioxide and some meteorological parameters have been calculated statistically, using the daily average dat...
