Ultrasound-assisted soil washing processes were investigated for the removal of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, and Zn) in real contaminated soils using HCl and EDTA.The ultrasound-assisted soil washing (US/Mixing) process was compared with the conventional soil washing (Mixing) process based on the mechanical mixing.High removal efficiency (44.8% for HCl an

Musculoskeletal injuries and chronic degenerative diseases commonly affect both athletic and sedentary horses and can entail the end of their athletic careers.The ensuing repair processes frequently do not yield fully functional regeneration of the injured tissues but biomechanically inferior scar or replacement tissue, causing high reinjury rates,

Reactive airway dysfunction syndrome, a type of occupational asthma without a latency period, is induced by irritating vapour, fumes or smoke.The present report is the first to describe a case of reactive airway dysfunction syndrome caused by acute exposure to dishwater detergent containing sodium metasilicate and sodium dichloroisocyanurate.The di

Pure BiFeO3 (BFO) and (Sm, Mn) co-doped materials were synthesized by the citrate method.Effects of (Sm, Mn) co-doping on the structural, magnetic, electrical and ferroelectric properties of the BFO materials were characterized and investigated by different techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering spectroscopy, magnetic hystere
