Research and anecdotal evidence suggest women continue to remove body hair, and there is some evidence for cultural changes in men's hair removal practices. This paper reports on data collected using an online mix-methods survey from 584 New Zealanders between the ages of 18-35 (mean age 26, 48.9% male, 50.6% female). The data demonstrated that substantial proportions of both women and men in A...

an agricultural waste i.e. rice husk has been used as a cheap adsorbent for the removal ofleadas a harmful heavy metal from contaminated water via adsorption. the adsorption capacity of rice husk was calculated by equilibrium models. the results showed that the adsorption process has the best accordance with langmuir model. the kinetics of the adsorption was also investigated and obtained that ...

background implant removal is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery which can be associated with many complications such as scar formation, hematoma, nerve injury, infection, and refracture. indications for orthopedic implant removal have declined in recent years. most studies have considered orthopedic hardware removal as an unnecessary procedure in the absence of severe complications such ...

conclusions the ammonia degassing is a simple and suitable technology for ammonia removal at high concentration. undesirable removal efficiency (17%, 35.5% and 31%) can be occurred in suitable ph 11 in the presence of lower ammonia concentrations (50, 100 and 200 mg/l). results according to obtained results, the maximum removal efficiencies were determined 17%, 35.5%, 31%, 66%, and 85.5%, for 5...

background: heavy metals, even at low concentrations, are harmful to human health and environment. cadmium as a heavy metal is highly toxic and can cause serious threat to living organisms. this research was designed to evaluate the adsorption potential of modified magnetic iron nanoparticles by 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol ligand for the removal of cadmium ions from water solu...

this paper presents the development of a model for evaluating adsorbable organic halogens’(aox) removal efficiency during wastewater treatment by using the micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (meuf)technique. surfactants can form larger aggregates (micelles) were prepared into which aoxs dissolve and arethen retained by the membrane. synthetic wastewater samples containing certain concentrations ...

the poly(ethyleneimine)-functionalized silica has been developed successfully as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption removal of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater. the influences of ph, contact time and initial concentration of cu(ii) ions on the adsorption capacity and the effect of adsorbent dosage on the removal efficiency of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater were inve...

textile industry is the major source of water consumption and wastewater pollution.there are various treatment techniques to remove textile wastewater pollution. coagulationflocculation is a widely used process to remove pollution due to suspended particles. in this research, different coagulants like alum, lime, fecl3, feso4 and mgcl2 were applied to select the suitable ones with optimum remov...
