We report two cases of surgical removal of a retained subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) bubble through a therapeutic macular hole combined with intravitreal PFCL injection and gas tamponade. Two patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy with PFCL injection for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. In both cases, a retained subfoveal PFCL bubble was noticed postoperatively by funduscopy and op...

Polluted aquifers can be decontaminated using either ZVI (zero valent iron) permeable reactive barriers (PRB) or injected ZVI. The placement of within the aquifer may take several decades to remediate contaminant plume. Remediation is further complicated by acting as an adsorbent remove some pollutants, while for other it acts a remediation catalyst. This study investigates alternative decontam...

the first step in dealing with the behavior of an engine on ng mode is the installation of a suitable gas fueling system on the engine. two generations of gas fueling systems which were studied and installed on research engine were mixer type and sequential system type. the results, including performance, emissions and fuel consumption, were recorded and analyzed. the results showed that the se...

[1] We provide a numerical procedure for the simulation of two-phase immiscible and incompressible flow in twoand three-dimensional discrete-fractured media. The concept of cross-flow equilibrium is used to reduce the fracture dimension from n to (n-1) in the calculation of flow in the fractures. This concept, which is often referred to as the discrete-fracture model, has a significant effect o...

This chapter focuses on three widely used techniques for extraction of semivolatile organics from liquids: liquid–liquid extraction (LLE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), and solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Other techniques may be useful in selected circumstances, but these three techniques have become the extraction methods of choice for research and commercial analytical laboratories. A fou...
