increasing the efficiency of water use is one of the main topics of sustainable agriculture in arid and semi-arid. the use of some materials such as superabsorbent polymers increase water storage in the soil and thus reduces the water use. increase water storage in the soil to reduce the effects of drought and saline soil. in order to evaluate the effect of super absorbent polymer on survival a...

We consider the cost of meeting emissions reduction targets consistent with a G8 proposal of a 50 percent global reduction in emissions by 2050, and an Obama Administration proposal of an 80 percent reduction over this period. We apply the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA), modeling these two policy scenarios if met by applying a national cap-and-trade system, and compare resu...

This work aims to optimize the recovery of methyl methacrylate (MMA) by depolymerization polymethyl (PMMA) dental resins fragments/residues. In order pilot experiments at technical scale, PMMA scraps were submitted thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG/DTA). The conducted 345, 405, and 420 °C, atmospheric pressure, using a scale reactor 143 L. liquid phase products obtained subjected fractional di...

In a large Denver HMO, a retrospective study of asthma management was reviewed. Seventy moderate to severe asthmatic patients' charts were reviewed through April 1994. All patients admitted to the study had to be followed for at least 1 year by a primary care physician before the allergy evaluation (AE) and for at least one year of followup (F/U) after the AE.
