The novel and intriguing role of Fe(NO3)3 as a chemical activator in carbonization macadamia nutshell is introduced this work. Magnetic mesoporous carbon was achieved by activation with under nitrogen atmosphere at 850°C (MMC-850). Porosity MMC-850 included SBET 317 m2/g Vmicro 0.0796 cm3/g considerably high Vmeso 0.4318 cm3/g. Not only did possesses good magnetic properties saturation magnetiz...

OBJECTIVE—Whereas it is known that the metabolic syndrome (MetS) has a paradoxically lower prevalence in non-Hispanic black adolescents than in non-Hispanic whites or Hispanics, the relative severity of MetS by race/ethnicity is unknown. Inflammation, indicated by highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), is a key factor linking MetS to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Our goal was...
