Nano-sized Mo-doped titania (Mo0.1Ti0.9O2) and Nb-doped titania (Nb0.25Ti0.75O2) were directly synthesized via a continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis process. Materials characterization was conducted using physical techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area measurements and energ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the possibility of white leg shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei) culture twice a year in nayband agro-industry complex in 2010. three earth ponds (0.8 ha) were selected in the farm which had similar conditions in terms of culture system, postlarvae age (pl12) and stocking density (37-38 pl m3). the first period of shrimp culture started from mid april and they wer...

Chitosan treatment results in significantly lower serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations. To assess the working mechanisms of chitosan, we measured serum surrogate markers of cholesterol absorption (campesterol, sitosterol, cholestanol), synthesis (lathosterol, lanosterol, desmosterol), and degradation to bile acids (7α-hydroxy-cholesterol, 27-hydroxy-cholesterol), corre...

OBJECTIVE To assess clinical and epidemiologic data of 7 infants diagnosed with acquired methemoglobinemia at the pediatric emergency department between 1993 and 1998. All cases were attributed to the consumption of mixed vegetables. METHODS Medical records were reviewed to collect anamnestic data; history of food ingestion; and results of physical examination, pulse oximetry, gasometry, coox...

Abstract Background and Aims Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have an increased burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to clustering traditional non-traditional risk factors. Poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is linked higher levels morbidity mortality. Cardiorespiratory a significant predictor 7-year mortality, with each 1 ml/kg/min increase in VO2 associated 1% decrease mortality.[1...

an experiment was conducted to determine the dietary digestible lysine requirement of male and female broiler chickens (arian) during the period from 6 to 21 days post-hatching. an amino acid-fortified basal diet containing corn and soybean meal as intact protein sources provided 20 % cp, and 3200 kcal amen / kg. in this experiment 150 male and 150 female chicks were allocated on the basis of b...

Microplastic fibers (MF) are released from synthetic textiles during washing and end up in the wastewater. Similarly, silver nanoparticles (AgNP), incorporated as antimicrobial agents, machines, also reaching wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, both MF AgNP co-exist environment enter soil compartment mainly via application of biosolids. Yet, combined effect has not been studied. Here, we as...
