Appropriate preparation routes allow designing and improving the performances of ceramic-based functional composites. In this work, two powder-preparation methods enabled by cold sintering process are utilized to fabricate unique ZnO-based varistor The thermoplastic polymer, poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK), has been successfully integrated with ZnO form dense ZnO-PEEK With a dissolution method, ...

In order to explore the influence of gradation and concentration on rheological parameters uncemented coal gangue-fly ash backfill (UCGFB) slurry, based fractal theory, particle size distribution mixture gangue fly under different mixing ratios are analyzed in this paper. On basis, UCGFB slurry studied a numerical simulation transportation is also carried out. The results show that (1) dimensio...

A review of the American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database was performed from 2006 to 2017. Of 3070 patients who had undergone first rib resection (FRR), almost all cases were by vascular surgeons (88%), general (7%), and thoracic (4%). The relative distribution outlet syndrome (TOS) or not significantly different compared with (arterial, 1%-2% ...

Two hundred-twenty six pre- and post- kidney transplantation patients were screened for CMV. They were categorized into three groups I: Eighty-five dialysis patients suffering from chronic renal failure, II: Sixty -two end stage renal disease patients prepared for transplantation, and III: Seventy-nine post-kidney transplant patients under immunosuppressive and cytotoxic therapy. The last group...

Assessment the efficiency of Fenton process (Fe 2+ /H2O2), versus photo-Fenton reaction (TiO2/Fe 2+ /H2O2/UV) for removal of Chloropyrifos, and COD from pesticide wastewater were investigated. Solar compound parabolic collectors (CPC) pilot scale with borosilicate tubes was used for photo-Fenton process. The effect of reaction time, initial pH and dosage of H2O2, FeSO4, TiO2 were studied for bo...

OBJECTIVE The present analysis aimed to examine the associations of isolation and loneliness, individually as well as simultaneously, with 2 measures of functional status (gait speed and difficulties in activities of daily living) in older adults over a 6-year period using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, and to assess if these associations differ by SES. METHOD Loneliness ...
