We evaluated the ability of UNICEF-designed pot-chlorinators to achieve recommended free residual chlorine (FRC) levels in well water in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, during a cholera outbreak. Thirty wells were randomly selected from six neighbourhoods. Pot-chlorinators--perforated plastic bottles filled with gravel, sand and calcium hypochlorite granules--were placed in each well. FRC was measured b...

The effect of ball-milling on physicochemical properties of maize starch was evaluated. Results found that the cold water solubility (CWS) of maize starch was positively correlated with the time of milling up to 3 h. There was no significant influence of using a ceramic pot versus a stainless steel pot on CWS. However, following 5 h of ball-milling CWS increased quite dramatically in the cerami...

Front cover image: Given a rise in the popularity of wearable electronics that are able to deform into desirable configurations while preserving electrochemical functionality, stretchable and flexible supercapacitors (SCs) have become increasingly interest as innovative energy storage devices. In article number: 10.1002/cey2.320, Amiri et al. investigated various advancements upcoming prospects...

painting, which plays with color and form. It appears that criticism has learned very little in a century. Although we can accept, understand, and excuse the mother who disgustedly remarks that she has a 6-year-old daughter who can paint better than "that," it is depressing to find an intelligent, educated critic asking "what an abstract photograph is of" and arguing that "in photography the su...

I can think of only two reasons for publishing a collection of annotated reprints, such as this volume represents. One is to make available important papers which are otherwise difficult to obtain; the other is to provide the students in a course with assigned reading material for which they would otherwise have to compete at the college library. The first of these functions is certainly served...

acute coronary syndrome admission hyperglycemia predicts poorer shortand long-term outcomes after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction, Chen 80–86 adipocytokines association between serum adipocytokine levels and microangiopathies in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, Jung 333–339 adiponectin adiponectin gene variants, adiponectin isoforms and c...

the one pot reaction of glyoxal and hydroxylamine hydrochloride in aqueous sodium hydroxide was found to be a safe and inexpensive method for the preparation of diaminoglyoxime. by increasing stoichiometric ratio of the hydroxylamine hydrochloride and decreasing the solvent volume, the product yield increased considerably (~ 70%).

Raisins are a significant grape product with an annual trade volume of approximately USD 2 billion. There various methods employed for drying grapes into raisins. This study aimed to investigate the effects different on raisins, specifically, without pretreatment (SD), treatment potassium carbonate (5%) containing 2% olive oil (POT), and ashy water 2.5% (AOW). The examined changes in raisin wei...
