Important upstream measures include facilitating for public procurement to put requirements on ERA for products and withdrawing OTC status for APIs with negative environmental effects (e.g. Diclofenac). The actual reduction potential associated with these measures needs to be quantified as they may not suffice to reduce environmental levels below relevant toxicity thresholds. End-of-pipe measur...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether introducing a rapid test for meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) screening leads to a reduction in MRSA acquisition on hospital general wards. DESIGN Cluster randomised crossover trial. SETTING Medical, surgical, elderly care, and oncology wards of a London teaching hospital on two sites. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE MRSA acquisition rate (proportion o...

purpose the aim of this study was to determine the effect of one night's sleep deprivation on anaerobic performance and reaction time of subjects in the morning of the following day. methods eighteen male college student athletes were studied twice in a balanced, randomized design. subjects were measured for peak power, mean power and reaction time. results the performance showed no significant...

The total oxidation of toluene at a wide temperature range (200–500 oC) over micro/mesoporous platinated catalysts has been investigated about activity, selectivity to CO2 and CO, catalyst's stability versus coke deposition and reaction kinetics. Kinetic of toluene oxidation was measured under various oxygen and toluene pressures and als...

Oxidation of cyclooctene was studied in presence aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30%, v/v) over nano iron oxide. The catalyst prepared by microemulsion method and characterized using various techniques including XRD, TEM and BET techniques for evaluating phase, structure and morphology and surface area. In this study, we investigated the effects of varying the catalyst content, reaction temperature,...
