a simple ion imprinted amino-functionalized sorbent was synthesized by coupling activated carbon with iminodiacetic acid, a functional compound for metal chelating, through cyanoric chloride spacer. the resulting sorbent has been characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (tga) and evaluated for the preconcentration and de...

atopic eczema (ae) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects children and adults, and alters quality of life with a high morbidity rate and severe economic burden. the objective of the present work was to analyse specific atmospheric pollutants (o3, no, pm10 and so2) affecting the prevalence of diagnosed ae and its symptoms among 6-7-year-old schoolchildren. the participants included ...

background: patients with psychological problems after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (cabg) show poorer outcomes; nevertheless, there is a paucity of research into the effects of cardiac rehabilitation programs on such patients. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of phase iii cardiac rehabilitation programs on the anxiety and quality of life of anxious patients who had...

background: cardiac syndrome x is a relatively common disorder, and still not much is known about the causative factors or its pathophysiology, which makes it difficult to cure. due to its chronic nature and debilitating symptoms, many patients have significantly reduced quality of life (qol).the purpose of this study was to assess the impact of phase iii cardiac rehabilitation (cr) and relaxat...

the present work concerns on the investigation of the role of polyethylene glycols (pegs) as masking agent for amelioration of extraction-separation of la(iii), eu(iii) and er(iii) ions by the acidic extractant bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (dehpa). the studied solvent extraction system is based on the combination of chelating effect of dehpa in the organic phase on the one hand, and the bin...

the present paper concerns on the selective and very efficient transport of thorium(iv) ions from aqueous solutions through an emulsion liquid membranes composed by paraffin and a surfactant, without carrier requirement. the influence of ph of the external aqueous phase, the surfactant concentration in the membrane phase, the type, and concentration of the acid used in the receiving phase, the ...

the goal of this article is to study the shimashki potteries in the saymarreh valley. archaeological surveys conducted in the saymarreh valley shows that the painted pottery tradition of godin iii has become prevalent in the valley during the bronze age and only once, development of this pottery tradition had cracked. this event took place in the phase of godin iii4, which we relate it to the i...

alumina nanomaterials were synthesized via a solution combustion technique using tris-(acetylacetonato) aluminum(iii) complex (1) and tris-(2-formylphenolate) aluminum(iii) complex (2) at 600, and 1000 °c for 3h. the obtained data showed that the procedure without using fuel resulted in a better phase and morphology. to investigate the phase formation, powder x-ray diffraction technique was use...
