Power quality evaluation involves measurements and determinations of some power quality indicators.One of these indicators is represented by the power factor.The importance of the power factor as an indicator of power quality, both theoretical and practical, implies its determination or direct measurement as a necessity, especially in industrial en
Waste Material Adsorbents for Zinc Removal from Wastewater: A Comprehensive Review
This review examines a variety of adsorbents and discusses mechanisms, modification methods, recovery and regeneration, and commercial applications.A summary of available researches has been composed by a wide range of potentially low-cost modified adsorbents including activated carbon, natural source adsorbents (clay, bentonite, zeolite, French Do
Quantification of Microbial Growth Pattern on Growth Medium Using Image Processing Program and Evaluation of Antifungal Activities of Wood Vinegar
Digitized growth pattern images of wood-rotting fungi Fomitopsis palustris (FOM) and Trametes versicolor (TRA) were used with a video processing program with a new formula to calculate the numerical results of microbial inhibition by an active substance (wood vinegar).First, images of daily growth pattern were collected to generate calibration curv
Attenuation by l-thyroxine of oxidant-induced gut epithelial damage
Objective(s): Severe injuries are often associated with tissue hypothyroidism, elevated damaging mediators in circulation, and broken gut epithelial barrier.However, the relationships between the hypothyroid state and gut epithelial damage are largely unknown.Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of L-thyroxine (T4) on in Digestive
