the aim of the present work was to investigate the ability of cocopeat to remove of lead (ii) from aqueous solutions. the effects of different parameters such as particle size, adsorbent dosage, ph, contact time, agitation speed and concentration on the removal process has been investigated. the maximum removal of lead ion (92.5%) took place in the ph range of 4 contact time in 30 minutes and i...

surgical removal of impacted third molars is amongst the most common surgical procedures performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. every year many articles are published in different journals regarding different aspects in such surgeries. it is necessary to translate such vast amounts of data into simple and easily comprehensible sentences for the students of dentistry and oral surgery. thi...

The change-in-ratio technique is a useful practical procedure for the estimation of game animal population sizes. The major problem with this technique is failure of the assumption that both types of animals are captured or sighted with equal probabilities. Here we extend the change-in-ratio technique to the case where there are two removals with emphasis on the special situation where there ar...

There are many urological and non-urological indications which require bilateral double J stenting. We describe a point of technique for simultaneous removal of both the Double J stents. Both the stents are held by stent removing forceps at a point where they cross each other and then removed in one go with the help of cystoscope. Medline search did not reveal any techniques of removing two DJ ...

The stability of the mercury ion mediated dU-HgII-dU pair depends on substituents introduced at the 5-position of the pyrimidine moiety. To this end, a series of oligonucleotides were synthesized with dU modification in central position. Common and new phosphoramidites were utilized. Hybridization experiments provided 12-mer duplexes with non-canonical "dU-dU" pairs. In most cases Hg2+ stabiliz...

This paper is intended to outline the current thinking regarding the process involved in depilation by pulsed ruby laser. Key laser parameters will be discussed together with their impact on the outcome of the procedure. A parallel series of clinical trials have been carried out in a number of centres. A summary of the results of these trials is included. These show that there is an ever increa...

Laser hair removal created controversy when it was first described over 5 years ago. It has now become an accepted modality for long-term hair reduction. It rivals electrolysis in the successful treatment of small hair-bearing areas. It surpasses any modality in the treatment of larger hair-bearing anatomic areas.
