background: cognitive impairment in patients with parkinson’s disease (pd) mainly involves executive function (ef). the frontal assessment battery (fab) is an efficient tool for the assessment of efs. the aims of this study were to determine the validity and reliability of the psychometric properties of the persian version of fab and assess its correlation with formal measures of efs to provide...

Sud, please find attached a draft writing on the subject (Word 5.1 format). I guess the next process is to: reflect your comments on the draft, run through a quick editing, and prepare a final copy in the form of a letter from me to you??! Hee

In this study, industrial lithium-ion battery (LIB) waste was treated by a froth flotation process, which allowed selective separation of electrode particles from metallic-rich fractions containing Cu and Al. the experiments, recovery rates ~80 98.8% for cathode active elements (Co, Ni, Mn) graphite were achieved, respectively. The recovered metals fraction subsequently used in high-temperature...

Microgrids (MGs) contain a diverse mix of energy resources to provide safe and secure power to the consumers. Batteries are utilized in MGs for further energy security assurance as well as cost minimization. In this paper, an efficient approach is introduced for simultaneous energy management and optimal battery sizing to accomplish economic MG operation. Also, demand response programs are empl...

bioleaching of spent refinery processing catalysts using adapted indigenous strains ofacidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to recover ni and mo, and the separation of ni from bioleaching liquor usingiron magnetic nanoparticles were optimized in this study. bioleaching optimization was performed usingcentral composite design (ccd) method to optimize temperature (32 to 38oc), initial ph (1.5 to 2), par...

‎ In this paper, the stand-alone photovoltaic system for cathodic protection of underground pipelines is presented. The proposed system offers continuous and automatic adjustment of the applied voltage so that the buried pipelines receive the exact current. A modified perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is used to improve dynamic and steady state performa...

Recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has attracted increasing attentions recently on account continuous growth demand for corresponding critical metals/materials and environmental requirement solid waste disposal. In this work, rice husk as one the most abundant renewable fuel materials in world was used to prepare char (RC) applied recycle multivalent ions water from hydrometallurgi...
