Posterior cingulate/retrosplenial cortex (PCC) hypometabolism is a common feature in amnestic mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. In rats, PCC hypometabolism induced by mitochondrial dysfunction induces oxidative damage, neurodegeneration and memory deficits. USP methylene blue (MB) is a diaminophenothiazine drug with antioxidant and metabolic-enhancing properties. In rats, MB fa...

The Flame Surface Density (FSD) based mean reaction rate closure proposed by Prof. K.N.C. Bray and co-workers in the context of Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes simulations has been a-priori analysed using a Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) database turbulent premixed Bunsen flames with different characteristic Lewis numbers representing strict flamelet regime (i.e. high Damköhler number low Ka...

In this work, aspartic acid- and glycine-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Asp-MSNs Gly-MSNs) were successfully prepared applied as adsorbents for removal of methylene blue (MB) from contaminated water. The structure the fabricated nanomaterials was confirmed by nitrogen adsorption/desorption with specific surface area ca. 700 m2/g pore volume 0.9 cm3/g both Asp-MSNs Gly-MSNs. ave...

The ash of C. polygonoides (locally called balanza) was collected from Lakki Marwat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, and was utilized as biosorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solution. The ash was used as biosorbent without any physical or chemical treatment. The biosorbent was characterized by using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ther...

This contribution proposed a novel electrochemical approach for lentinan (LT) determination using medaylene blue (MB) as probe. The interaction conditions of LT with MB were carefully studied by cyclic voltammetry. Under the optimum conditions, the cyclic voltammetric curve of MB showed a pair of convertible oxidation and deoxidization peaks with the peak potentials of -0.157 V and -0.191 V, re...

In this paper we consider a system with two carousels operated by one picker. The items to be picked are randomly located on the carousels and the pick times follow a phasetype distribution. The picker alternates between the two carousels, picking one item at a time. Important performance characteristics are the waiting time of the picker and the throughput of the two carousels. The waiting tim...
