cellulose wastes of a wood and paper factory were used to produce activated carbon. several chemical agents under various conditions were used for production of activated carbon and hence their adsorption properties have been evaluated. in addition the effect of process parameters such as raw material, chemical agent concentration, impregnation ratio, carbonization temperature, carbonization ti...

Drinkability of water is determined based on its physical, chemical, and microbial properties. Undesirable changes in these parameters could threaten the health of consumers. The present study aimed to assess the physical, chemical, and microbial parameters of the drinking water sources in Sanandaj, Iran and compare them with the national standard values. This descriptive, cross-sectional study...

The heterogeneous complexity of sludges and wastewaters has created gross uncertainty and deviations in predictions of suitable models for their measurement. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the current paradigms and ideologies are wrought with problems and limitations suggesting the need to move to a more consolidated analytical objective evaluation. Rapid development...

sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables. it is an antioxidantand anti-cancer agent, and reduces blood pressure, and also has anti-allergic effects.in this article, six theoretical methods have been used for calculation of physical parameters insolforaphane and several similar compounds. we calculated physical parameters like atomic charges.energy (ae) ...

The effects of various chemical treatments upon photosynthesis, soluble leaf protein, CO(2) compensation point, and leaf light transmission in soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., seedlings were examined following varying response periods after application at 14 to 17 days postemergence. The compounds N(6)-benzyladenine (BA), 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropanoic acid (CPMP), (4-chlorophenoxy)aceti...

In India, agricultural soil has been deteriorated by various on-going practices involving application of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and effluents. Presently, Amritsar (Punjab), an agricultural land, is undergoing rigorous cultivation of wheat and rice crops which consequently increased the application of chemical pesticides and fertilizers for high yield. These agricultural practices are ...

The most important physico-chemical characteristics describing detergent micelles are the CMC value and the aggregation number. These parameters depend critically on external conditions such as pH, ionic strength, buffer composition or temperature. However, the influence of these conditions on CMC or aggregation number is a priori not to predict, but the most important parameter. This holds esp...

Semiempirical orthogonalization-corrected methods (OM1, OM2, and OM3) go beyond the standard MNDO model by explicitly including additional interactions into the Fock matrix in an approximate manner (Pauli repulsion, penetration effects, and core-valence interactions), which yields systematic improvements both for ground-state and excited-state properties. In this Article, we describe the underl...
