This study explores the potentials of Brachystegia eurycoma coagulant (BEC) and Vigna subterranean (VSC) as natural organic polymers (NOPs) for decolourisation Crystal Ponceau 6R (AR 44) in wastewater. Materials characterisation studies were done on precursors. A detailed kinetics was employed. The procedures evaluated through time-dependent reduction concentration particles, with variation ind...

the objective of the research was to test the effect of iron and aluminium coagulants commonly used for lake re-cultivation, on the pike sperm motility and fertilisation. the coagulants caused changes in the analyzed hydrochemical parameters of the water such as: fe, mg2+, tss, so42- and cl-. selected parameters of sperm motility: mot, vcl, vsl, vap, lin were estimated using casa. the sperm mot...

The high level of organic elements and nutrients in wet market wastewater (WMW) has raised public concerns. phycoremediation method, which utilizes microalgae, can be further valorized by converting it into various valuable potential bioproducts. production Scenedesmus sp. WMW was investigated as an ingredient for fish feeds this study. two natural plant-based coagulants, Cajanus cajan (pigeon ...

We describe a perfusion-based microfluidic device for three-dimensional (3D) dynamic primary human hepatocyte cell culture. The microfluidic device was used to promote and maintain 3D tissue-like cellular morphology and cell-specific functionality of primary human hepatocytes by restoring membrane polarity and hepatocyte transport function in vitro without the addition of biological or syntheti...

This article focuses on rapid diagnosis and treatment of the patient suffering from trauma-related shock, including early identification of patients at risk for occult hypoperfusion. Resuscitation strategies (delayed resuscitation, damage control resuscitation), end points of resuscitation, and the role of blood products and pro-coagulants for resuscitation are discussed.

The hydrolysis of Al-based coagulants in acidic conditions is necessary for the removal of organic matter by the coagulation/sedimentation process. However, interactions between hydrolyzed Al species and organic matter are complicated and this makes it difficult to optimize coagulant dosing for organics removal. The goal of this study was to investigate the reactions of hydrolyzed Al species in...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to impose a significant burden upon healthcare resources. A sustained increase in the ageing population and better survival from conditions such as ischaemic heart disease have ensured that both the incidence and prevalence of AF continue to increase significantly. AF can lead to complications such as embolism and heart failure and these acting in concert with...
