the article addresses the mutual relationship between environmental improvements and improvement in social status of women. the main question of this article is: are there any relationships between improvement in environment protection and promotion in the situation of women? the theoretical framework includes hatfield’s view about the existence of communities between the public and private sph...

Reverse addressing is an interesting realization of kinship terms in interactive, face to face communication. This descriptive study was proposed to examine the use of family address pronouns in Iran as a function of the classical sociological parameters of age, sex, and social distance. It investigated various aspects of reverse addressing as a vernacular phenomenon. Data were reported from th...

Reactive separations of CO/CO2 mixtures are a promising pathway to lower the energy requirement CO2 hydrogenation chemicals and fuels, with applications in U.S. Navy’s seawater-to-fuel process. With feedstock, challenge is activating CO produce heavier hydrocarbons while preventing methanation, requiring low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts. In this work, we demonstrate tha...

Co-precipitation and absorption methods were investigated for removal of boron from produced water, which is groundwater brought to the surface during oil and natural gas extraction. Boron can be toxic to many crops and often needs to be controlled to low levels in irrigation water. The present research focused on synthetic reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate modeled on concentrate expected from a...

Oxygen-Generating Cryogels In article number 2102234, Sidi A. Bencherif and co-workers use injectable oxygen-generating cryogels (O2-cryogels) as a strategy to boost antitumor immune responses. These noninvasive biomaterials are designed controllably release oxygen, reverse hypoxia-driven immunosuppression, promote the infiltration of pre-existing immune-fighting cells into tumors. O2-cryogels ...

objective: tooth loss is a common problem and since current tooth replacement methods cannot counter balance with biological tooth structures, regenerating natural tooth structures has become an ideal goal. a challenging problem in tooth regeneration is to find a proper clinically feasible cell to seed.this study was designed to investigate the odontogenic potential of human bone marrow mesench...

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to valuable products on molecular catalysts draws attention due their versatile structures allowing tuning activity and selectivity. Here, we investigate temperature influence conversion product selectivity over a Cobalt(II)-tetraphenyl porphyrin (CoTPP)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite in the range 20–50 ?. Faradaic efficiency changes with potentia...

With the increasing installed capacity of desalination, the greenhouse gas emission for generating the required energy to power the desalination plants is also becoming the focus of attention in the world community. Domestic reverse osmosis membranes have been very successful technology especially in the developing world to provide safe drinking water. The novel concept of photovoltaic powered ...

The performance of a novel reverse membrane bioreactor (RMBR) with encased microorganisms for syngas bio-methanation as well as a co-digestion process of syngas and organic substances was examined. The sachets were placed in the reactors and examined in repeated batch mode. Different temperatures and short retention time were studied. The digesting sludge encased in the PVDF membranes was able ...
