Tetracycline (TC) adsorption amount on original wood biochar was finitely, so modification is imperative to improve its capacity. This study mixed chinese fir sawdust with ammonium molybdate prepare a modified (MCB) via pyrolysis at 800 °C. Meanwhile, pristine (CB) produced as control. The effects of pH, time, initial concentration and adsorbent dosage the process were also studied. Langmuir mo...

Momordica charantia plant is consumed as a foodstuff in some south Asian curries while its extract preparations have been traditionally used for lowering blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. Nutritional Health Institute Laboratories (NHIL), LLC, Florida informed that it patented a new plant McB, as an interhybrid of three plants of Momordica genus. The objective of the prese...

Multiple classifier systems (MCSs) based on the combination of a set of different classifiers are currently used to achieve high pattern-recognition performances [1]. For each pattern, the classification process is performed in parallel by different classifiers and the results are then combined according to some decision “fusion” method (e.g., the majority-voting rule) [1]. The majority of such...

BACKGROUND Inpatient portals, a new type of patient portal tailored specifically to the hospital setting, can allow patients to access up-to-date health information and exchange secure communications with their care team. As such, inpatient portals present an opportunity for patients to increase engagement in their care during a time of acute crisis that emphasizes focus on a patient's health. ...

Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys have been under intensive development over the past four decades due to their excellent high-temperature creep strength and good oxidation resistance. Nickel-based ODS alloys are the combination of gamma prime (γ’) strengthened superalloy with yttrium oxide evenly distributed throughout the matrix to allow the strength to be maintained to much higher t...

In the last years, computer simulation has reached a significant position in the investigation and development of technical products. Simulation programmes and computer utilization have found application also in the area of electrical devices. At our workplace we have used simulation programmes for many years to investigate transient phenomena mainly at short-circuit current breaking in miniatu...

This paper describes session processes occur in the Management and Control Block (MCB) of the e-Management Control and Evaluation System (e-MCES) we have developed for the University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech). We present and discuss technical solutions, we have found and implemented within the e-MCES. Based on the MCB component of the system we discuss some essential concepts of building s...

In this paper, an IEEE 802.15.6 wireless body area networks (WBAN) medium access control protocol is developed to support a wireless USB (WUSB) application as a protocol adaptation layer (PAL). Even though we can avoid colliding packets using CSMA/CA, hazard of beacon collisions still remains in the WUSB over WBAN networks. Further, in order to solve beacon conflict problem, we introduce a mult...

Summary) Over the past decade, many companies acquired their way to growth by developing and managing a portfolio of businesses, treating each as an autonomous unit. For many companies, that strategy no longer works. Such companies must now stimulate organic growth by finding synergies between formerly disparate pieces of their enterprise. That means transforming a loosely-knit collection of bu...
