The precipitation of chromium(III), copper(II), manganese(II) and zinc(II) by biogenic hydrogen sulfide generated by sulfate-reducing bacteria, Desulfovibrio sp., and the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in the presence of heavy metal by Pseudomonas aeruginosa AT18 have been carried out. An anaerobic stirred tank reactor was used to generate hydrogen sulfide with Desulfovibrio ...

With the expansion of stock market, investors and capital are increasing step by step, which makes the stock market an increasing impact on the macro-economy. In order to reveal the effect of macro factors on the specified industry’s stock price, a new nonlinear regression model is established with Eviews6.0 software in the paper. We take macro variables as samples which are based on interest r...

Background and objectives: ZatariamultifloraBioss. (ZM) has shown several effects in gastrointestinal, respiratory and nervous system. In this study, the effect of Z. multiflora was examined in colon cancer cell lines of Caco-2. Methods: Total extract and petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol fractions of the plant were prepared us...

An oil spill is the accidental or intentional discharge of petroleum products into the environment due to human activities. Although oil spills are actually just a little percent of the total world oil pollution problem, they represent the most visible form of it. The impact on the ecosystems can be severe as well as the impact on economic activities. Oil spill cleanup is a very difficult and e...

We propose a method from the viewpoint of deterministic dynamical systems to investigate whether observed data follow a random walk (RW) and apply the method to several financial data. Our method is based on the previously proposed small-shuffle surrogate method. Hence, our method does not depend on the specific data distribution, although previously proposed methods depend on properties of the...

An Agilent Simulated Distillation (SIMDIS) system is described for quality control and monitoring of refinery processes. The system uses an Agilent 6890N gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with a programmable temperature vaporizer (PTV) inlet designed specifically for high temperature analysis. A simulated distillation software program that couples with the Agilent GC ChemStation provides an easy-...
