E.M. Deshaies W. Jacobsen A. Singla F. Li R. Gorji BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cerebral vasospasm resistant to medical management frequently requires intra-arterial spasmolysis. Angiographic resolution of vasospasm does not provide physiologic data on the adequacy of reperfusion. We recorded preand postspasmolysis PbO2 data in the endovascular suite to determine whether this physiologic parameter c...

The research investigates synthesized Nano-structured PbO2 using ball milling. The structure and morphology of the samples were determined in the process of milling by means of XRD and SEM. The size of particles was estimated through DLS analysis. The TEM image of the synthesized powder verifies the achievement of Nano dimensions. Design and analyses of the results using Taguchi methodology rev...

Electrochemical oxidation has been proposed as a remediation method for chlorinated phenols but is hampered by anode fouling. In this work we explore the mechanism of anode fouling by chlorinated phenols, compare structure vs reactivity for phenols differing in the extent of chlorination, and relate the efficiency of oxidation to the mechanism of oxidation at different electrode types. Linear s...

−The removal of pesticides from water is a major environmental concern. This study investigates the electrochemical removal of the insecticide imidacloprid (IMD) from aqueous solutions on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) and Ta/PbO2 anodes under galvanostatic electrolysis. The influence of operating parameters, such as applied current density (50-100 mA cm), initial chemical oxygen demand COD (0) (2...
