The application of Fe–TiO2 photocatalysis using sol–gel method by hot–dipping technique was investigated. Then, the influences of fabrication parameters, molar ratios of Fe to TiO2, the sol temperature, poly ethylene glycol (PEG) content and the number of dipping cycles on the photocatalytic activity in visible light region were mainly studied. The experimental results revealed the sample with ...

Organic Acids (BacterActive) spraying and dipping on hatching eggs were evaluated experimentally for their effect embryonic mortality, hatchability, chick quality, immunity, eggshell bacterial count. A total of 6300 broiler breeder (Ross-308) at age 58 weeks, collected divided to 7 treatments as follows: (T1: General Control, T2: Dipping Water, T3: Spray T4: water, T5: organic acid, T6:spray Ac...

BACKGROUND Most healthy people exhibit a decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) at night. A drop of <10% from mean daytime values, "non-dipping," is associated with kidney disease and cardiovascular events. We hypothesized that non-dipping would predict all-cause mortality. METHODS Consecutive patients referred for ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring at the Cleveland Clinic between 1...

Objectives. Many techniques were described for ureteroileal anastomosis in orthotopic bladder substitution, ranging from nonrefluxing to refluxing techniques, all aiming at preservation of the upper tract. We describe our technique of dipping the ureter into the ileal pouch, which is simple and had no complications. Patients and Methods. Our technique implies dipping the ureter in the lateral s...

Diurnal variations in blood pressure (BP) loss are closely associated with target organ damage and cardiovascular events. The quantity of coronary artery calcification (CAC) correlates with the atherosclerotic plaque burden, and an increased quantity indicates a substantially increased risk of cardiovascular events. This study investigated the nighttime diurnal variation in BP loss associated w...

BACKGROUND Abnormalities in nocturnal blood pressure dipping are well known for its relationship to cardiovascular diseases. Cerebral microbleeds are frequently observed in patients with hypertension and are known to be potent risk factors for stroke. However, there are scanty reports about the relationship between nocturnal dipping and cerebral microbleeds. METHODS We recruited consecutive p...

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dipping time and temperature of hot water and type of packaging on qualitative traits of Orlando tangelo variety of tangerine. This study was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three repeats. The treatments consisted of dipping in hot water at seven water levels at 53°C and 58°C each for 1, 2 and 4 minutes...
