Polyvinylchloride (PVC) based heterogeneous cation exchange membranes were prepared by the solution casting technique. The effect of super activated carbon nanoparticles concentration as filler additive in membrane matrix on ionic transfer behaviors of the membrane was studied. SOM images showed uniform particles distribution and relatively uniform surfaces for the membranes. The membrane water...

increasing the concentration of ammonia in water can cause fish death. this study was conducted to compare the performance of conditioned activated carbon and zeolite in ammonia (tan = total ammonia nitrogen) removal in a simulated transport of rainbow trout fry in 40-liter plastic bags. hence, responses of zeolite and conditioned activated carbon in ammonia (tan) removal at different concentra...

the two stable isotopes of hydrogen, protium (1h) and deuterium (2h) differ in their physicochemical nature. deuterium-depleted water (ddw) significantly inhibited the growth rate of different tumor cell lines in culture media and xenotransplanted mda-mb-231, mcf-7 human breast adenocarcinomas and pc-3 human prostate tumors in vivo. the apoptosis-triggering effect of ddw was demonstrated both i...

The transport properties of nematic aerogels, which consist highly oriented Al$_2$O$_3\cdot$SiO$_2$ nanofibers coated with a graphene shell large number defects, are studied. temperature dependences the electrical resistivity in range 9-40K strictly follow formula derived to describe variable hopping (VRH) conductivity, exponent $\alpha$ changes from 0.4 0.9 when layers decreases 4-6 1-2. depen...

Background: Oleuropein, the main constituent of olive fruit and leaves, has been reported to protect against insulin resistance and diabetes. While many experimental investigations have examined the mechanisms by which oleuropein improves insulin resistance and diabetes, much of these investigations have been carried out in either muscle cell lines or in vivo models two scenarios with many draw...
