The medical directors of dialysis facilities have many operational clinic responsibilities, which on first glance, may seem outside the realm of excellence in patient care. However, a smoothly running clinic is integral to positive patient outcomes. Of the conditions for coverage outlined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, one most critical to quality dialysis treatment is the p...

BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW This article reviews the literature on the subject of dental unit waterline contamination. It has been expanded from the text of a lecture given at the Scientific Frontiers in Dentistry program sponsored by the National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research in Bethesda, Md., in July 1999. The author examines the underlying biological causes of waterline coloniza...

Standards of low electrolytic conductivity were developed to satisfy the demands of the U.S. Navy and American industry for the measurement of high quality water. The criteria for the selection of appropriate solvent and solutes, based on the principles of equivalent conductivity and Onsager's limiting law, are described. Dilute solutions of potassium chloride and benzoic acid in 30 % n-propano...

fuzzy water quality index (fwqi) was applied in order to assess the degree of drinking water resources in yazd province, iran. thisstudy has also offered the creation of a new fuzzy water quality index (fwqi) to evaluate this tool’s applicability. 12 chemicalparameters including toxic and non-toxic heavy metals measured in 71 groundwater samples collected from drinking water resourcesin rural a...

The application of membrane technology in water and wastewater treatment is increasing due to stringent water quality standards. Nanofiltration (NF) is one of the widely used membrane processes for water and wastewater treatment in addition to other applications such as desalination. NF has replaced reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in many applications due to lower energy consumption and higher f...

background: scaling and corrosion are the two most important indexes in water quality evaluation. pollutants are released in water due to corrosion of pipelines. the aim of this study is to assess the scale formation and corrosion of drinking water supplies in ilam city (iran). methods: this research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study which is based on the 20 drinking water sources in i...

background: reverse osmosis (ro) is an increasingly common method of desalination. a full scale water desalination system by membrane technology (ro) evaluated in a southern city (jask) in iran. methods: first, data collection on water supply and network were performed. analysis on most of the water quality parameters (turbidity, ph, ec, cl-, na+, alkalinity, ca, na, k, no3, no2, fe, mg, mn, nh...
