toxicity has occurred in workers exposed to nickel dust or nickel carbonyl formed in refining. increased risk of nasal and lung cancers was linked to occupational nickel exposure before current workplace safety standards were set. activated carbon with nano holes used for removing contaminants in environment. the purpose of this work is preparation a new nano-absorber, gz-baki-tac-ni-88, for th...

In this paper, we prove effective estimates for the number of exceptional values and the totally ramified value number for the Gauss map of pseudo-algebraic minimal surfaces in Euclidean four-space and give a kind of unicity theorem.

This paperdescribes awayof organizing information about an object-orientedprogram’s execution. The context is our system for visualizing that execution. The critical constraints are completeness, compactness, and efficient retrieval. We describe our design and how it meets these constraints.

In this note we study a minimization problem for a vector of measures subject to a prescribed interaction matrix in the presence of external potentials. The conductors are allowed to have zero distance from each other but the external potentials satisfy a growth condition near the common points. We then specialize the setting to a specific problem on the real line which arises in the study of c...

V2O5/SiO2 catalyst was utilized to oxidize SO2 to SO3 species in the presence of oxygen mainly for producing sulfuric acid. For this catalyst, the active phase was a mixture of vanadium pentoxide and basic sulfate/pyrosulfate material. This active phase at the reaction temperature behaved as a liquid filling up the pores of the silica support. On the other hand, amounts of the SO3 and V5+ speci...

The high carbon contents and low toxicity levels of chars from coal and pine gasification provide an incentive to consider their use as precursors of porous carbons obtained by chemical activation with K2CO3. Given the chars characteristics, previous demineralization and thermal treatments were made, but no improvement on the solids properties was observed. The highest porosity development was ...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the ratio of electromyography (em g) activities of the vastus medialis obliqus (vmo) and vastus lateralis (vl) within seven angles of knee joint range of motion using isometric contraction in open kinetic chain (ok c) and closed kinetic chain (ckc). methods: the dominant knees of 44 healthy female subjects (mean age: 24.84 with range: 20-...

Grid connected static power converters inject parasitic DC currents due to the offset in current sensing, control imperfections, asymmetries in power switches and other secondary effects. Ever growing number of grid connected converters contributes to an increase of DC bias in AC grids, and this brings the cores of distribution transformers closer to saturation and increases their power losses....
