A study to determine the structure and activity relationships of various amine based CO2 absorbents was performed in which, the desorption of CO2 from saturated absorbent at 80 C and atmospheric pressure was measured to assess the initial desorption rate and desorption capacities at pseudo equilibrium. Evaluation of desorption capacity at 80 C will give a better understanding for more energy ef...

A new modified magnetic Graphene Oxide with Chitosan and Cysteine wassynthesized for removing Pb2+ ions from aqueous solution. The properties of thisadsorbent were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM),Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and Energy Dispersive Analysis Systemof X-ray (EDAX). Physicochemical parameters such as effect of pH, c...

BACKGROUND The chemical reaction of carbon dioxide absorbent and sevoflurane is known to produce compound A. However, carbon dioxide absorbents are not controlled by the Food and Drug Administration, but are treated as industrial products in some nations. Moreover, carbon dioxide absorbents differ in their capacities to produce compound A, because their chemical compositions differ. In this stu...

This study reports a preparation method of a new moisture swing sorbent for CO2 capture from air. The new sorbent components include ion exchange resin (IER) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as a binder. The IER can absorb CO2 when surrounding is dry and release CO2 when surrounding is wet. The manuscript presents the studies of membrane structure, kinetic model of absorption process, performance o...

Absorbent-grade paper is a highly specialized product due to introduction of certain special characteristics, namely high water absorbency, castor oil penetration (COP), and porosity. Water absorbency is affected by the radius of capillaries within the paper. Likewise the COP is affected by pulp beating and by the degree of collapse of the paper structure during sheet pressing. Using 4% NaHCO3 ...

Most birds are able to sense ultraviolet (UV) visual signals. Ultraviolet wavelengths are used for plumage signaling and sexual selection among birds. The aim of our study was to determine if UV cues are also used for the process of food selection in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). We used avoidance conditioning to test the hypothesis that UV feeding cues can be used functionally for foragi...

All modern vapor anesthetics are capable of carbon monoxide (CO) production as a result of interaction with desiccated strong base containing carbon dioxide absorbents. In desiccated absorbents, desflurane produces the highest concentrations of CO. Sevoflurane is known to produce the nephrotoxic compound A (CA) independently from water content of the carbon dioxide absorbent. The purpose of thi...

Urinary incontinence is a multi-factorial condition that has a high impact on older persons living in nursing homes. While urinary incontinence is common, only a small percentage of nursing home residents have an official diagnosis. Factors influencing urinary incontinence in this population are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of urinary incontinence in N...

The notion of absorbent ordered filters in implicative semigroupsis introduced, and its fuzzification is considered. Relations among (fuzzy) orderedfilters, (fuzzy) absorbent ordered filters, and (fuzzy) positive implicativeordered filters are stated. The extensionproperty for (fuzzy) absorbent orderedfilters is established. Conditions for (fuzzy) ordered filters to be (fuzzy)absorbent ordered ...
