Core-shell structured CaCO3 microspheres (MSs) were prepared by a facile, one-pot method at room temperature. The adsorbent dosage and adsorption time of the obtained CaCO3 MSs were investigated. The results suggest that these CaCO3 MSs can rapidly and efficiently remove 99-100% of anionic dyes within the first 2 min. The obtained CaCO3 MSs have a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area (211.7...

Background & Aims: Increasing pressure for having scholarly publications in accredited English medium journals emphasizes the need to enhance academic writing ability by author-researchers in various fields, especially, in medical and hard sciences. In order to enhance the language of manuscripts, many authors seek assistance from editors prior to submission to high-status journals. Various typ...

Multimedia Software Systems (MSS) are characterized by their surface capabilities of collecting and producing textual, pictorial, sound and haptic events. A crucial requirement on the MSS-user interaction is to prevent users from getting lost in the multimedia virtual space and from performing incorrect operations. To this end, MSS development requires the coordination of computational and outp...

A multi-secret sharing scheme (MSS) allows a dealer to share multiple secrets among a set of participants. in such a way a multi-secret sharing scheme (MSS) allows a dealer to share multiple secrets among a set of participants, such that any authorized subset of participants can reconstruct the secrets. Up to now, existing MSSs either require too long shares for participants to be perfect secur...

The present study tries to investigate the effect of composting process on some properties and heavy metals status of two municipal sewage sludge (MSS) as affected by three different organic bulking agents (BAs) at three levels (10%, 25%, and 45% V/V). According to the results, the composting process could reduce the fecal coliform to class A, a reduction more obvious in treatments with BAs tha...

The BRAF oncogene is mutated in 15% of sporadic colorectal cancers. Approximately half of these BRAF mutant cancers demonstrate frequent frameshift mutations termed microsatellite instability (MSI), but are diploid and chromosomally stable. BRAF wild type cancers are typically microsatellite stable (MSS) and instead acquire chromosomal instability (CIN). In these cancers, CIN is associated with...

Embedded systems are often modeled using Matlab’s Simulink and Stateflow (MSS), to simulate plant and controller behavior but these models lack support for formal verification. On the other hand verification techniques and tools do exist for models based on the notion of Hybrid Automata (HA) but there are no tools that can convert Simulink/Stateflow models into their semantically equivalent Hyb...

This article proposes a configuration model for tailoring management support systems (MSS) to managers' day-to-day interactions with IS when they are mobile and their perceived usefulness in doing so. Clustering possible characteristics yields different use situations. Configuring MSS to these use situations, we consider the selection of smart devices and associated information media covering P...
