BACKGROUND In recent decades, community pharmacies reported a change of business model, whereby a shift from traditional services to the provision of extended roles was observed. However, such delivery of extended pharmacy services (EPS) is reported from the developed world, and there is scarcity of information from the developing nations. Within this context, the present study was aimed to exp...

Microalgae are used in flocculation processes because biopolymers released into the culture medium. Microalgal cell growth under specific conditions (temperature, pH, luminosity, nutrients, and salinity) provides production release of exopolysaccharides (EPS). These can be recovered from medium for application as bioflocculants or directly cultivation microalgae autoflocculants. The optimizatio...

BACKGROUND Diagnosis of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is based on clinical symptoms, radiologic findings, and macroscopic or histological criteria. Two diagnostic scores for radiologic findings in computed tomography (CT) scans of patients with EPS have been established in the past (by Tarzi et al and Vlijm et al). The macroscopic appearance of EPS has previously been separated into ...

• EPS-C, N, P preferentially retained during adsorption and coprecipitation with Fh. EPS mass uptake selective fractionation opposite for the two formation pathways. Proteins acidic polysaccharides selectively in complexes. Lipids polysaccharide components coprecipitates. Differential sorption process of Fh revealed by 2D-COS-FTIR. Recent work shows that microbially-derived compounds constitute...

Electrostatic binding sites of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were characterized from titration data using linear programming analysis. Test results for three synthetic solutions of given solutes comprising amino, carboxyl, and phenolic groups indicated that this method was able to identify the electrostatic binding sites. For the six sites with pK(a) between 3 and 10, the estimated p...

This paper examines factors which lead to the failure of electronic payment systems (EPS). In order to understand these factors a single case study of a failed Australian EPS was conducted. The findings confirm the influence of EPS adoption factors identified from the literature, which include cooperation with established entities, simplicity, trust, security and mutuality of stakeholder benefi...

The aim of this study was identification and characterization of highly efficient Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) producing bacteria in activated sludge. Among 74 isolated bacteria, 20 EPS-producing bacteria were obtained from wastewater treatment plant of Bojnourd. EPS extraction was performed using absolute ethanol after glucose-enriched culture. Dry weight, concentration, and the rat...

An algorithm for Electrical Power System (EPS) quantum/relativistic security and efficiency computation via perturbative renormalization of the EPS, finding the computation flowcharts, verification and validation is built in this paper. EPS renormalization is performed via virtual thermalization. EPS energy renormalization provides EPS critical load and outlines the EPS fractal landscape. EPS t...
