A method for determination of juglone in leaves and hulls of Pterocarya fraxinifolia was developed, based on RP-HPLC. This compound was extracted from leaves and hulls by chloroform refluxing about 2 hours. The chloroform was evaporated under low pressure at   50 ºC to produce a dry residue. The remained materials were dissolved in acetonitrile to be used for determination of this compound....

a biofilm sequencing batch reactor with a volume of 1.42 m3, nylon nets providing a 4,140 m2/m3 support area for biofilms and an automated operation with 8 hour cycles was studied. the duration of the experiment was 135 days. removal efficiencies e≥ 80% were obtained for carbonaceous matter, producing an effluent with 31±26.8 mg/l of filtered cod, 7±3.6 mg/l of bod5 and 12±3.2 mg/l of toc. the ...

In this research, Quantum-mechanical calculations were performed at the HF method with the 6-31+G*basis set and at the B3LYP method with the 6-31+G* basis set in the gas phase and five solvents such as water, DMSO, methanol, ethanol and dichloromethane at six temperatures. According to these theoretical results of IR, we extracted thermo chemical parameters such as enthalpy (∆H Kcal/mol), Gibbs...

in this study, the changes in microstructure of hp-nb cast heat resistant steel after 8 years of service at high temperatures were investigated. study of microstructure using optical microscopy (om) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometry (eds) showed that the microstructure of this steel in as-cast condition includes an austenitic matrix, and that...

we consider an m/g/1 queue with regular and optional phase vacation and withstate dependent arrival rate. the vacation policy is after completion of service if there are no customers in the system, the server takes vacation consisting of k -phases, each phase is generally distributed. here the first phase is compulsory where as the other phases are optional. for this model the supplementary var...

The solvent extraction of gallium from a concentrated Jajarm Bayer process liquor containing 164.90 g/l of Na2O, 86.70 g/l of Al2O3 and 106.02 ppm of gallium was investigated using 10 vol.% Kelex100, a 7-alkyl substituted-8 hydroxyquinoline as an extractant, 10 vol.% etanol as a modifier and kerosene as a diluent. At (Vo :Va = 1.0:1.0) ...

Effects of different levels of choline and garlic powder on performance, liver health and immune response in broiler chickens were evaluated in this study. A factorial experiment with 2 dietary choline levels (the recommended level in Ross 308 broiler guidelines and 25 % less than the recommendation) and 3 dietary garlic powder levels (0, 5 or 10 g/kg diet) was conducted using Ross 308 broiler ...
