Experimental Study of Central Baffle Flume
2019
In this paper, the hydraulics of a central baffle flume (CBF) were experimentally studied. Extensive experimental runs were carried out to highlight the effects of different geometrical parameters such as baffle length, contraction ratio, and the length of upstream and downstream guide walls. Two different approaches, i.e., the Π theorem of dimensional analysis coupled with the incomplete self-similarity theory and the energy balance equation, were applied to deduce the stage–discharge formula of a CBF characterized by different geometrical parameters. The stage–discharge relationship deduced by the dimensional analysis approach was more accurate than that obtained by the energy approach. F…
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Associated with Tumor Lysis Syndrome in a Child with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
2015
Tumor lysis syndrome is a serious and dangerous complication usually associated with antiblastic treatment in some malignancies characterized by high cell turn-over. Mild or severe electrolyte abnormalities including high serum levels of uric acid, potassium, phosphorus, creatinine, bun and reduction of calcium can be responsible for multi-organ failure, involving mostly kidneys, heart and central nervous system. Renal damage can be followed by acute renal failure, weight gain, progressive liver impairment, overproduction of cytokines, and subsequent maintenance of multi-organ damage. Life-threatening acute respiratory failure associated with tumor lysis syndrome is rare. We describe a chil…

ChemInform Abstract: Coupled Semiconductor Systems for Photocatalysis. Preparation and Characterization of Polycrystalline Mixed WO3/WS2 Powders.
2010
Mixed WO3/WS2 powders were prepared by oxidation of WS2. The physical properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy; they were strongly dependent upon the time and temperature of oxidation. The chemical state and the elemental distribution of the sample surface were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photocatalytic results have showed that the aqueous suspensions of the mixed WO3/WS2 systems have significantly higher activities than pure WS2 and WO3 for the photodegradation of phenol. The enhanced performance can be related to the presence of heterojunctions WO3/WS2 on the single parti…
FI-chemiluminometric study of thiazides by on-line photochemical reaction
2004
The present manuscript deals with a simple and sensitive flow-injection method for the chemiluminescent determination of thiazides. The method is based on the on-line photodegradation and chemiluminescent determination of the resulting photo-fragments. The on-line photodegradation is performed in basic medium by using a photoreactor consisting of a 550 cm long x 0.8 mm ID piece of PTFE tubing helically coiled around an 8 W low-pressure mercury lamp. The determination of the photo-irradiated thiazides is performed by a chemiluminescent oxidative reaction with Ce(IV) in sulphuric acid medium. A heterogeneous group of thiazides (indapamide, metolazone, hydroflumethiazide, chlorthalidone and be…
Dithionite bleaching of thermomechanical pulp: factors having effects on bleaching efficiency
2000
The efficiency of dithionite bleaching of Norway spruce (Picea abies) thermomechanical pulp was studied by applying various multivariate data analysis techniques to analytical data (temperature, pH, ion chromatographic and energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence data). In addition, modeling the residual sulfur content of bleached pulp by means of diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectral data from laboratory-scale bleaching experiments was attempted. The results indicated that this lignin-preserving bleaching process could be evaluated by means of the analytical data using either PCR or PLS models. These models also indicated that wavelengths below 400 nm should not be used in measuring the pulp bri…
Application of solid-state electrochemistry techniques to polyfunctional organic–inorganic hybrid materials: The Maya Blue problem
2013
Abstract The time evolution of indigo plus palygorskite powdered mixtures during isothermal heating at different temperatures between 120 and 180 °C to form Maya Blue-type materials has been monitored by means of infrared spectrometry, diffuse reflectance spectrometry in the visible region and solid state electrochemical techniques. The kinetics of the formation process of such materials can be described in terms of two consecutive reactions, the first one consisting of the loss of zeolitic water of the palygorskite coupled with clay-indigo attachment and partial indigo to denydroindigo oxidation. The palygorskite dehydration acts as a rate-determining step fitting to a 3D Avrami-Erofe’ev k…
A new tool for direct non-invasive evaluation of chlorophyll a content from diffuse reflectance measurements
2017
Abstract Chlorophyll is a key biochemical component that is responsible for photosynthesis and is an indicator of plant health. The effect of stressors can be determined by measuring the amount of chlorophyll a , which is the most abundant chlorophyll, in vegetation in general. Nowadays, invasive methods and vegetation indices are used for establishing chlorophyll amount or an approximation to this value, respectively. This paper demonstrates that H-point curve isolation method (HPCIM) is useful for isolating the signal of chlorophyll a from non-invasive diffuse reflectance measurements of leaves. Spinach plants have been chosen as an example. For applying the HPCIM only the registers of bo…
Performance of micellar mobile phases in reversed-phase chromatography for the analysis of pharmaceuticals containing beta-blockers and other antihyp…
1996
A rapid and simple reversed-phase micellar liquid chromatographic procedure for the simultaneous determination of the beta-blockers atenolol, metoprolol and oxprenolol, the diuretics amiloride, bendroflumethiazide, chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide and the vasodilator hydralazine in pharmaceuticals, is proposed. An interpretive optimization procedure, which uses the chromatographic data for only five mobile phases, was applied to select a suitable micellar mobile phase. A comparative study was also made of the performance of micellar and aqueous-organic mobile phases in the analysis of pharmaceuticals that combine beta-blockers and diuretics. The determination of all the drugs could be…
