Due to hygienic risks of mercury residues in food and marine originated supplements, measuring total mercury and methyl mercury contents of canned tuna as a highly consumable marine food product is essential. In this study, 40 canned Tuna fish (from Persian Gulf) were collected in 2015 and then flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS) and thermo gas chromatography mass spectrophotometry were...

Laboratory and clinical tests were carried out to determine the clinical usefulness, validity, and safety of a new self-calibrating, battery-powered monitoring system for the measurement of intramuscular pressure with use of an electronic transducer-tipped catheter. The eight probes accurately recorded applied pressures ranging from zero to 160 millimeters of mercury (zero to 21.33 kilopascals)...

Ethylmercury in thimerosal-preserved childhood vaccines has been suggested to be neurotoxic and to contribute to the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. Immune system function may be an important factor influencing vulnerability of the developing nervous system to thimerosal. This possibility is based in part on a report by Hornig et al. (2004, Mol. Psychiatry 9, 833-845...

Abstract The presented experimental study focuses on the hydro-mechanical characterisation of a shale caprock (Opalinus Clay) in contact with carbon dioxide. objective this paper, consists evaluation material's sealing capacity terms entry-pressure, mechanical behaviour and sensitivity transport properties to chemo-mechanical effects induced by gaseous liquid CO2 injection. Two types Opalinus C...

With the growth and development of chemical plants, the amount of mercury released in wastewater has increased. Mercury in wastewater contains harmful compounds which are hazardous to the human health and living organisms. Therefore, its removal from wastewater is significant. There are various techniques or methods available for removing mercury from aqueous solutions. This study focused upon ...

The Greenidge Multi-Pollutant Control Project is being conducted at the 107-MW AES Greenidge Unit 4 as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Power Plant Improvement Initiative (PPII) to demonstrate an innovative combination of technologies that is well-suited for reducing emissions from the nation’s large fleet (~60 GW) of smaller coal-fired units. The technologies, which include a NOxO...

The rate of absorption from muscles has never yet been a subject of scientific investigation. In fact, nowhere in physiological li terature do we meet the suggestion tha t absorption from the muscles might differ from tha t of any other parenchymatous or subcutaneous tissue. Only from the serous cavities, especially the peritoneal, is it generally assumed tha t absorption takes place more rapid...

The direct numerical simulation (DNS) method has been used to the study of the linear and shock wave propagation in bubbly fluids and the estimation of the efficiency of the cavitation mitigation in the container of the Spallation Neutron Source liquid mercury target. The DNS method for bubbly flows is based on the front tracking technique developed for free surface flows. Our front tracking hy...
