AlMCM-41 was applied for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and auramine (AU) in single and binary component systems. In the single component systems, AlMCM-41 represents higher adsorption capacity for MB than AU with the maximal adsorption capacity of 2.07×10−4 and 1.15×10−4 mol/g at 25 ˚C for MB and AU, respectively. In the binary component system, MB and AU exhibit compe...

In a four-period, cross-over study, the fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug marbofloxacin (MB) was administered to calves, alone and in combination with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug tolfenamic acid (TA). Both drugs were administered intramuscularly (IM) at doses of 2 mg/kg. A tissue cage model of inflammation, based on the actions of the mild irritant carrageenan, was used to evaluate...

The present study reports, the synthesis of ZnO-bentonite nanocomposite by the incorporation of ZnO with bentonite clay. The nanocomposite was characterised by XRD and SEM. ZnO-bentonite was effectively used for removal of Methylene Blue (MB). Removal of MB takes place by photocatalytic degradation and adsorption. Photocatalytic degradation of MB occurs by advanced oxidation process. The factor...

soil unsaturated zone is one of the important parts of hydrological cycle that has an especial role in agricultural water resources management. the objective of this research was to determine the amount of root water uptake under simultaneous water, salinity, and nitrogen stresses as prevailing conditions in arid and semi-arid regions. to do so, the experiment was conducted with four quantitati...

BACKGROUND In our emergency department, we collect blood in Rapid Serum Tubes (RSTs; Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ), in which clotting times are reduced. We investigated the influence of RST use on cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) test results, in comparison with the use of tubes featuring a separator gel containing a clotting activator (SSTs; Green-vac, Yongin...

This study was conducted to assess the ability of the studied adsorbent, i.e. raw oak fruit hulls and the activated carbon prepared from oak fruit hull for removing the Methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. This study was conducted under various effective parameters, e.g., contact time, pH, MB concentration, adsorbent concentration. The optimum amount of each parameter was determined a...

This is the second paper in a series examining the link between energetics and mechanics of terrestrial locomotion. In this paper, the changes in the kinetic energy of the limbs and body relative to the centre of mass of an animal (EKE, tot) are measured as functions of speed and body size. High-speed films (light or X-ray) of four species of quadrupeds and four species of bipeds running on a t...

the kinetic study of methylene blue (mb) adsorption using acid-activated spent tea (aast) as an adsorbent from aqueous solution with the aim of comparing linear and non-linear regression analysis methods was performed at varying initial mb concentrations (10-100 mg/l). hence, spent tea leaves, which were activated using concentrated sulfuric acid, were prepared. the physicochemical characterist...

in this study, removal of methylene blue (mb) and maxilon blue sl 200% (mb sl) dyes from aqueous solutions by using raw clay (rc) of nevsehir (turkey) vicinity and ultrasonic-acid modified clay (mc) was investigated. adsorption was carried out with 500 mg/l mb and 50 mg/l for mb sl in terms of different adsorbent dosages, contact time, solution ph, temperature and stirring speed. the fitting of...
