The study was undertaken to elucidatethe beneficial effects of goat follicular fluid (gFF) added to maturation and culture media on in vitro maturation, fertilization and post-fertilization development of oocytes in Black Bengal goats. Follicular fluid and oocytes were collected from slaughter house goat’s ovaries using the aspiration technique. Media were prepared using TCM-199 supplemented wi...

During the shutdown process of fuel cell system for vehicles, air entering anode chamber can form hydrogen/air interface, accelerating carbon corrosion catalytic layer. According to optimized control strategies, cells be reduced. Nowadays, main strategies include gas purging and consumption residual oxygen in stack by auxiliary load. However, cannot fully consumed or cause single-cell voltage r...

RATIONALE Exposure to ambient air pollutants has been associated with increased lung cancer incidence and mortality, but due to the high case fatality rate, little is known about the impacts of air pollution exposures on survival after diagnosis. This study aimed to determine whether ambient air pollutant exposures are associated with the survival of patients with lung cancer. METHODS Partici...

Zinc-air batteries have several advantages in comparison with the lithium-ion technology as they enable use of earth-abundant elements, work at low cost, are lightweight, and also much safer application. In addition to chemistry related zinc electrode, efficient stable bifunctional catalysts required for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR, discharging) evolution (OER, charging) on air-electrode sid...
