The study area is located of ?iran District Center in the southwest Gümü?hane (NE Turkey). In this study, hydrogeochemical characteristics water resources district center were examined and metal element contents determined. area, basement rocks are represented by Eocene Kelkit formation, which composed sandstone, claystone, marl, shale tuff, unit covered unconformably Quaternary aged alluvium. ...

Abstract Trace element changes in fluids associated with ore-forming events sedimentary basins may be recorded by contemporaneous cements, especially zoned carbonate minerals (microstratigraphy). Cement analysis using advanced mapping and analytical techniques including scanning electron microscopy cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL), charge contrast imaging, high-resolution X-ray computed tomography ...

Vancomycin (VCM) is a glycopeptide antibiotic that is generally used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Recently, it has been reported that VCM clearance (CL) is significantly higher in elderly patients and infants and children with malignancies, compared with those without malignancies. We have treated many patients with a variety of malignant tumors in whom serum VCM...

UV/H2O2 and UV/peroxodisulfate (PDS) processes were adopted to degrade a typical β-blocker, atenolol (ATL), and the degradation efficiencies under various operational parameters (oxidant dosage, pH, HCO3, humic acid (HA), NO3, and Cl) were compared. Principal factor analysis was also performed with a statistical method for the two processes. It was found that increasing the specific dosage of t...

Introduction. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) people suffer from severe physical impairments, which often elicit significant psychological distress and impact their quality of life. This meta-analysis aimed to assess evidence from the scientific literature on the effects of relaxation techniques. Methods. We investigated 9 databases to select 25 RCTs. Studies included both inpatien...

BACKGROUND Halophytes are the flora of saline soils. They adjust osmotically to soil salinity by accumulating ions and sequestering the vast majority of these (generally Na(+) and Cl(-)) in vacuoles, while in the cytoplasm organic solutes are accumulated to prevent adverse effects on metabolism. At high salinities, however, growth is inhibited. Possible causes are: toxicity to metabolism of Na(...

Two Hantaan virus strains, clone 1 (cl-1), which is virulent in newborn mice, and its attenuated mutant (mu11E10), were used to examine the pathogenesis of Hantaan virus infection in a mouse model and identify virus factors relating to virulence. After subcutaneous inoculation of newborn BALB/c mice, cl-1 caused fatal disease with high viral multiplication in peripheral organs, but mu11E10 prod...
