Low cost and in situ fluoride detection by non-experts is important for the determination of drinking water safety in developing countries. Colour reagents can provide results quickly without expensive equipment, but colorimetric fluoride indicators are often nonspecific, complex to use or do not work in water. Here we show that azulene-boronate indicators respond selectively to fluoride at con...

The evaluation of flotation reagents performs an important role in the selection and green application reagents. indexes effect collectors were selected by data literature method, system analysis mathematical model qualitative quantitative collectors, system, comprehensive established. normalization method expert methods adopted to obtain grade classification indicators, respectively. analytic ...

This paper presents an evaluation of the long-term impact of microfinance programmes on Acehnese children during the post-tsunami recovery. The study, conducted from June to August 2010, examined the impact of microfinance programming six years after the tsunami. The sample consisted of 185 microfinance participants, with a comparison group of 192 individuals who did not participate in microfin...

The article presents one of the new approaches to theoretical assessment collecting ability reagents. efficiency reagents-collectors with different chemical composition used for flotation coking coals was studied. A comparative activity kerosene, mineral oil, thermal gas KETGOL and FLOTEK is given. criteria above coal sludge were specified. correlation established between indicators by reagents...

Although lanthanide complexes are recently used in luminescence labeling of bio-targets, this review focuses on sensing profiles of synthetic and biological lanthanide complexes. Rational design and combinatorial screening approaches toward synthetic lanthanide complexes applicable as luminescent sensing materials are described. Iron-carrying transferrin and ferritin proteins further form lanth...

The ability to measure population health trends and improvements can be enhanced through collaborative efforts to describe existing knowledge and via shared development opportunities. This paper highlights a project undertaken in Alberta which has created an inventory of health status indicators in use in the province, and provides a framework for strategic progress in the development and use o...

INTRODUCTION Since adoption of the measles case-based surveillance system in Zimbabwe in 1998, data has been routinely collected at all levels of the health delivery system and sent to national level with little or no documented evidence of use to identify risky populations, monitor impact of interventions and measure progress towards achieving measles elimination. We analysed this data to dete...
