The overall goal of this study was to identify the appropriate biomaterials able to facilitate the regeneration in rat's injured adult spinal cord. Acute damage to axons is manifested as a breach in their membranes, ionexchange distortion across the compromised region, local depolarization and even conduction block. It would be of particular importance to interrupt the progress of events h...

the reported work is on the preparation and characterization of polyvinyl alcohol -g- polyacrylic acid (pva-g-paa)/ polybenzimidazole sulfone (pbis) cation exchange membrane used for the electro dialysis of sodium chloride solution. the polymer syrup has been prepared using the grafting method with the help of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid in the presence of water solvent. the polymer ...

a membrane bioreactor (mbr) system based on a dead-end immersed hollow fiber membrane and filamentous fungus aspergillus oryzae were used for treatment of baker’s yeast wastewater. the fungus was adapted to the wastewater in the bioreactor for two weeks before starting the continuous process. average organic loading rate of 4.2 kg cod/m3.d was entered the bioreactor. mbr system was able to redu...

a poly(vinyl chloride) membrane based on a new a-dioxime derivative as membrane carrier was prepared andinvestigated as a cr(iii) selective electrode. the electrode exhibits a good potentiometric response for cr(iii)over a wide concentration range 1.0 x 10-6 to 1.0 x 10-1 m with a slope 19.5+0.5 mv/decade and low detectionlimit of 8.9 x 10-7 m. it has a fast response time < 15 s. the best perfo...
