This paper presents an approach to the suppression of the emission of dioxin and its precursors as a result of the co-incineration of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) with TiO2-encapsulating polystyrene (TEPS), in which TiO2 nanoparticles with the capacity to adsorb dioxin and its precursors are encapsulated without significant agglomeration. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and ...

This review presents three main categories of macromatrices explored so far for NP encapsulating, including ionic and organic macrocrystals polymeric matrices. The preparation methods the recent progress each category have been discussed.

TITLE Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis - A 5 year experience. AIM Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare, life-threatening condition, characterised by a progressive, intra-abdominal inflammatory process resulting in fibrotic visceral constriction. We report the aetiology, management, and outcome of EPS in Belfast. METHOD All patients diagnosed with EPS in Belfast over the past...

The first patient, a 68-year-old man, was admitted for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter explantation because of ultrafiltration failure and symptoms of bowel obstruction. PD was performed for 30 months with neutral PD fluids and icodextrin. There was a history of two episodes of peritonitis, and a high transporter status. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed ascites, calcifications, and thicke...

We extend traditional techniques for sequential specification and verification to systems involving intrinsically concurrent activities. Our approach uses careful design of component specifications to encapsulate inherent concurrency, and hence isolate clients from associated verification concerns. The approach has three parts: (i) relational specifications to capture the interleaved effects of...

We report the formation of a series of metal-containing hydrogenated silicon clusters using an ion trap. Mass analyses reveal that many types of transition metal ions M(+) ( M = Hf, Ta, W, Re, Ir, etc.) react with silane (SiH4) to form dehydrogenated MSi( +)(n) cluster ions ( n = 14, 13, 12, 11, 9, respectively) as an end product, indicating that the metal atom is endohedral and stabilizes the ...

One of the key features of the integration of functional and logic languages is the access to non-deterministic computations from the functional part of the program. In order to ensure the determinism of top-level computations in a functional logic program, which is usually a monadic sequence of I/O operations, one has to encapsulate the non-determinism (i.e., search for solutions) occurring in...

We designed and prepared nanoreactors based on a poly(2-methyloxazoline)-block-poly(dimethylsiloxane)-block-poly(2-methyloxazoline (PMOXA-b-PDMS-b-PMOXA) amphiphilic triblock copolymer encapsulating the enzyme penicillin acylase for local and controlled production of antibiotics.

A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams over NetBIOS Networks Status of this Memo This document specifies a standard method of encapsulating the Internet Protocol [1] (IP) datagrams on NetBIOS [2] networks. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis causes weight loss, intermittent bowel obstruction and decrease in peritoneal water and solute transport. Mortality may reach up to 50% due to severe malnutrition and ileus. Although the etiology is not fully known, many reasons such as frequent peritoni...
