This study focused on the use of microbial potential for metal ion removal. Scenedesmus obliquus and Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 were compared for accumulation of Cu in batch mode. During time course accumulation, S. obliquus accumulated Cu up to 124 μg mg -1 dry wt after 1h of incubation, whereas for Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 it reached up to 64.9 μg mg -1 dry wt after 2h. Low biomass concentr...

Previous neurophysiological studies have reported that neurons in posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) respond after eye movements, and that these responses may vary with ambient illumination. In monkeys, PCC neurons also respond after the illumination of large visual patterns but not after the illumination of small visual targets on either reflexive saccade tasks or peripheral attention tasks. The...

Objectives: The present research aims to study the normal development of Percentage of Consonant Correct (PCC) in Kurdish-speaking children, with Middle Kurmanji-Mukryani Dialect as an Articulation Competency Index (ACI). PCC was examined in terms of the manner of articulation and position of sound in the word.  Methods: In this descriptoanalytical cross-sectional study, 120 Kurdish-speak...

BACKGROUND Scoliosis patients with associated syringomyelia are at an increased risk of neurological injury during surgical deformity correction. The syrinx is therefore often addressed surgically prior to scoliosis correction to minimize this risk. It remains unclear if the presence of a persistent central canal (PCC) within the spinal cord also poses a similar risk. The aim of this study is t...

The synthesis of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) using plant extracts as additives has been developed to modify the morphology, particle size, chemical purity, and stability PCC be used for a variety potential applications. In this study, aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) was an additive PCC. carried out tubular column reactor under temperatures 30, 50 100℃ performed without with extract...

BACKGROUND Marginal biotin deficiency may be a human teratogen. A biotin status indicator that is not dependent on renal function may be useful in studies of biotin status during pregnancy. A previous study of experimental biotin deficiency suggested that propionyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (PCC) activity in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) is a sensitive indicator of biotin status. OBJECTIVE...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a type of dementia which is known as one of a major problem in elderly. Clinicians commonly use mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score to determine the severity of cognitive decline, but MMSE has some limitations such as more subjective, influenced by age, educational degree, and local culture. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18 FDG PET) c...

The present research was designed to determine thermal properties, such as coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and thermal conductivity, of portland cement concrete (PCC) used in Iowa pavements. These properties are required as input values by the AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). In this research, a literature survey was conducted to determine the major factors tha...

Among the Next-Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) designs, High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors (HTGRs) are very attractive, due to their inherent safety features, high power conversion efficiency, and potential of providing high-temperature process heat. To perform a thorough study license these types reactors, sufficient information needs be provided about phenomena that occur during accident sc...

introduction: the frequency of sperm pcc indiction in normal and infertile men was investigated. material and methods: zona – free hamster oocyte were retrieved after super ovulation by pmsg and hcg infection. following treatment with hyaloronidase, zona was removed by trypsin digestion. sperms were classified with sperms, and then transferred to fresh media containing colcemid. slides were pre...
