Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is a new class of process that produces mono phenolics close-to-theoretical maximum yield by preserving the biomass polysaccharides as solid residues under hydrogen atmosphere or transfer conditions. Herein, hydrous ruthenium oxide deposited on carbon (HRO@C) and HY-zeolite (HRO@HYZ) catalysts are prepared characterized different analytical techniques (TG...

To define and identify preoperative predictors of achieving Substantial Clinical Benefit (SCB), Patient Acceptable Symptomatic State (PASS), Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) for the VAS Satisfaction in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Data from consecutive who underwent primary between November 2014 January 2017 were collected analy...

Sugarcane Bagasse (SCB) has some characteristics that hinder its direct use as fuel. Torrefaction pre-treatment could be considered to improve the SCB properties for an energy and reduce impact of storage on reduction these properties. were torrefied at 290 °C in a screw reactor, during 5, 7.5 10 min. Then, raw samples exposed successively water-leaching white brown rot fungi, emulate condition...

Pyrolysis behavior of ionic liquid (IL) pretreated coal and sugarcane bagasse (SCB) blends through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was studied. Three SCB having 3:1, 1:1, 1:3 ratios by weight were treated with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Emim][Cl]) at 150 °C for 3 h. Untreated IL then analyzed under pyrolytic conditions in a TGA constant ramp rate 20 °C/min. Kinetic thermodynamic pa...

With a large number of baseline covariates, we propose new semiparametric modeling strategy for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation and individualized selection, which are two major goals in personalized medicine. We achieve the first goal through estimating covariate-specific (CSTE) curve modeled as an unknown function weighted linear combination all covariates. The weight or coefficient...

The influence of topology on the strain hardening in uniaxial elongation is investigated using monodisperse comb and dendrigraft model polystyrenes (PS) synthesized via living anionic polymerization. A backbone with a molecular weight Mw,bb = 310 kg mol−1 used for all materials, while number 100 short (SCB, Mw,scb 15 mol−1) or long chain branches (LCB, Mw,lcb 40 are grafted onto backbone. LCB s...

Steel coupling beam (SCB) is a substantial member of the hybrid coupled walls system. When are linked by SCB rather than conventionally reinforced or diagonally beams, system’s strength and energy dissipation capacities greatly enhanced. A corrugated web may be used in instead flat to improve these characteristics even more. This paper presents an experimental numerical investigation shear-carr...

The study evaluated the preparation of a biocomposite using waste-derived polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and bagasse cellulose (α-cellulose) in biorefinery approach. PHB was produced dark fermentation effluent rich volatile fatty acids (VFA) derived from vegetable waste α-cellulose extracted sugarcane (SCB). Nutrient limitation induced microbial accumulation, wherein maximum production 0.28 ± 0.06 g...

Agriculture waste such as sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is composed mostly of cellulose, a very versatile natural biopolymer with well-established applications in many industries. The purpose this study was to use combination treatment methods which include alkaline and mild acid hydrolysis assisted ultrasonication extract cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) from bagasse. Initially, the SCB fibers were treat...
