Spherical mesoporous silica MCM-41 was synthesized for adsorptive removal of sulfur compounds from fossil fuels using 1mM solution of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in dodecane as model oil. The prepared silica adsorbent has been characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis as well as Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), and transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) methods. R...

Although research to date on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for adolescents has its limitations, growing evidence suggests that DBT is a promising treatment for adolescents with a range of problematic behaviors, including but not limited to suicidal and nonsuicidal self-injury. This article introduces dialectical behavior therapy's theoretical underpinnings, describes its adaptation for sui...

The hydrogenolysis of ethane has been investigated on clean and Ni-covered Pt( 1 1 1) at reactant partial pressures between 0.5 and 4 Torr of ethane and between 80 and 270 Torr of hydrogen and for surface temperatures from 550 to 640 K. On clean Pt( 1 1 1) the hydrogenolysis reaction proceeds with an activation energy of 36.6 kcal/mol and reaction orders in C2H6 and H2 pressures of 1 and -1.8, ...

this study investigated biodegradation of dibenzothiophene (dbt) in marsh soil spiked bywhite-rot fungus phanerochaete chrysosporium. soil samples were spiked with 100 ppm dbtand incubated at 30°c in a dark chamber for 30 days. samples were evaluated for ph, mnperoxidaseactivity, sulfate ion concentration and growth during the tests. results showedmaximum levels of ph, mn-peroxidase and sulfate...

We have compared deep body temperature (DBT) measured at the forehead with the core temperatures of the nasopharynx, oesophagus and rectum during the warming phase of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (moderate hypothermia of 26.7-29.6 degrees C) in 12 patients. DBT was measured transcutaneously by an insulated thermistor probe that created an area of zero thermal flow between skin and subcutaneous ...

PurposeTo develop a computerized detection system for the automatic classification of presence/absence mass lesions in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) annotated exams, based on deep convolutional neural network (DCNN).Materials and MethodsThree DCNN architectures working at image-level (DBT slice) were compared: two state-of-the-art pre-trained (AlexNet VGG19) customized through transfer lea...

The excited states of UV-B absorbers, ethylhexyl triazone (EHT) and diethylhexylbutamido triazone (DBT), have been studied through measurements of UV absorption, fluorescence, phosphorescence, triplet-triplet absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra in ethanol. The energy levels of the lowest excited singlet (S1) and triplet (T1) states and quantum yields of fluorescence and phosp...

The eff ects of Dangguibuxue Tang (DBT) on growth performance and immunity response in immunosuppressed broiler chicks were investigated in this study. 240 one-d-old broiler chicks (DaHeng S01) were randomly divided into 4 groups, 2.0% DBT-treatment (A), 0.5% DBT-treatment (B), cyclophosphamide-control (C), and control group (D). From 4 d to 7 d of age, chicks in group A, B and C were given cyc...
