Zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVIs) are often used in environmental remediation. Their high surface area that is associated with their high reactivity makes them an excellent agent capable of transforming/degrading contaminants in soils and waters. Due to the recent development of green methods for the production of nZVIs, the use of this material became even more attractive. However, the kn...

This study investigated the effectiveness of an innovative remediation program, based on promoting self-efficacy, a construct of self-regulation theory, which was developed to provide sustainable improvements in academic and clinical performance of underperforming medical students. Eighteen medical (eight 4 and ten 5 year) students participated in the remediation program. Interventions were mul...

hexavalent chromium is mobile and hazardous in the environment. electrokinetic remediationof chromium (iv)-contaminated soils is intended either to remove or to reduce cr (vi) to cr (iii). this studyexamines the effectiveness of utilizing edta and acetic acid solutions as alternative electrolytes in theelectrokinetic (ek) process, with coupled nano-scale zero-valent iron (nzvi) as a barrier for...

In a rapidly evolving field such as Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT), it is important for practitioners to be fully acquainted with the history and efficacy of their discipline. This review traces the development of Cognitive Rehabilitation over the past century and describes the status of CRT today. The authors describe various methods of Cognitive Remediation that are in current use alo...

Using flushing solutions with different nonionic surfactants, this study investigated the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soils with different organic carbon contents. Naphthalene and anthracene are the two delegates of PAHs used in the study. Contaminated soil packed in a stainless-steel column was continuously flushed with a surfactant solution at room temper...

Size-selected 3 nm gas-phase Au clusters dispersed by cluster beam deposition (CBD) on a conducting fluorine-doped tin oxide template show strong enhancement in mass activity for the methanol electro-oxidation (MEO) reaction compared to previously reported nanostructured gold electrodes. Density functional theory-based modeling corresponding guided experiments attributes this high MEO density o...
