An adsorbent Modified Biochar (MB) made from sewage sludge was characterized with FT-IR spectra and SEM image. The effects of contact time, solution temperature, pH and initial concentration on the adsorption performance Pb(II) onto MB was investigated in a batch adsorption experiment. Results showed that MB had great adsorption capacity, due to the existence of hydroxyl, carboxyl, ether, alcoh...

Background: Aflatoxins are fungal secondary metabolites negatively affecting ruminant performance; however, little information is available on their impact on rumen fermentation. Aims: This study aimed at determining the effects of different concentrations of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) from Aspergillus flavus on in vitro gas production and ruminal fe...

A total of 50 permanent mandibular 1st molars of 26 children with Down's syndrome (DS) were examined from dental casts and 59 permanent mandibular 1st molars of normal children were examined from 33 individuals. The following measurements were performed on both right and left molars (teeth 46 and 36 respectively): (a) the intercusp distances (mb-db, mb-d, mb-dl, db-ml, db-d, db-dl, db-ml, d-dl,...

A novel magnetic polymer/bentonite composite was prepared by suspension copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in the presence bentonite (MB-PGME) functionalized with diamine hexamethylene (MB-PGME-ED MB-PGME-HD). The obtained samples were characterized terms structure as well thermal, morphological properties. sorption rhenium (Re) tungsten (W) from aqueou...

The topic of quality control often evokes prolific discussion among those whose business is its administration. Reliable methods for identifying mistakes must be developed in both the manufacture and use of test devices. Unit test devices are uncomplicated to run and provide quick results in a world where speed and simplicity are paramount, yet their very nature as individual assay units introd...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the depiction rate and morphologic features of myocardial bridging (MB) of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) using dual-source CT (DSCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS CT scans from a total of 1,353 patients who underwent DSCT were reviewed retrospectively for LAD-MB. Seventy-eight patients were excluded due to poor image quality or poor enhancement of the coron...

Objective In the present study, we investigated the brain interhemispheric functional connectivity changes in left eye MB versus right eye MB patients by voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) methods. Methods A total of 31 patients with MB (15 with left eye MB and 16 with right eye MB), and 31 healthy controls (HCs) closely matched for age were recruited. All subjects underwent functio...
