Background: Mitoxantrone (MXT) is a drug for cancer therapy and a hazardous pharmaceutical to the environment which must be removed from contaminated waste streams. In this work, the removal of MXT by the electro-Fenton process over heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts is reported. Methods: The effects of the operational conditions (reaction medium pH, catalyst concentration and utilized cur...

in this paper, the interface crack of two non-homogenous functionally graded materials is studied. subsequently, with employing the displacement method for fracture of mixed-mode stress intensity factors, the continuous variation of material properties are calculated. in this investigation, the displacements are derived with employing of the functional graded material programming and analysis o...

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important imaging technique to diagnose various diseases. However, patients with an implanted medical device, e.g. pacemakers, cannot benefit from this diagnostic modality. To analyze the adverse effects of MRI on patients with implants, various experimental studies have been performed [1]. It is observed that due to radiofrequency pulses, he...

Homogenous thin foils of titanium with nitrogen and oxygen in interstitial solid solution were characterized X-ray diffraction, light optical microscopy electron backscatter diffraction. Samples covering the broad solubility ranges O N synthesized. The mechanical properties assessed using nanoindentation related to content, h.c.p. lattice expansion grain orientation. Effects surface pile-up sin...

We endogenize the trade mechanism in a search economy with many homogenous sellers and many heterogenous buyers of unobservable type. We study how heterogeneity and the traders’ continuation values—which are endogenous—inßuence the sellers’ choice of trade mechanism. Sellers trade off the probability of an immediate sale against the surplus expected from it, choosing whether to trade with every...

This paper studies equilibria of second price auctions when values and participation costs are both privation information and are drawn from general distribution functions. We consider the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium. It is shown that there always exists an equilibrium for this general economy, and further there exists a unique symmetric equilibrium when all bidders are ex ante homo...

Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured in normotensive rate (NTR) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), in a lightly anesthetized state and with control of PaCO2 by artificial ventilation. Without carotid artery ligation, NTR and SHR showed almost identical rCBF values and distribution, despite significantly elevated levels of blood pressure in SHR. Bilateral carotid artery ligat...
