Coffee husk (CH) was physically and chemically treated with autoclaving (SCH) and NaOH (NCH) to develop low-cost adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from synthetic wastewater, and their adsorption efficiencies were evaluated in batch mode. The prepared adsorbent was characterised by SEM, FTIR and point of zero charge. The central compo...

The European Directive 2013/59/EURATOM requires member states of the European Union to ensure justification and optimisation of the radiological procedures and to include information on patient exposure as part of the report of the examinations. The EuroSafe Imaging campaign of the European Society of Radiology created a working group (WG) on “Dosi...

The objective of the present study was to optimise the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using aqueous extract of Pongamia seed cake (PSC). Proteins, amino acids and phenolic compounds present in the PSC extract are responsible for reducing the metal precursor salt to nanoparticles. The levels of factors for optimisation of nanoparticles synthesis...

Reutilisation of agricultural wastes is a major challenge faced by the research community. The current study aimed to address this issue by recovering commercial pectin from dragon fruit peels by investigating the pretreatment and extraction process and their parameters. Optimum oven-drying temperature was identified at 45 °C with the highest pecti...

BackgroundThe demand for a large Norwegian hospital’s post-term pregnancy outpatient clinic has increased substantially over the last 10 years due to changes in the hospital’s catchment area and to clinical guidelines. Planning the clinic is further complicated due to the high did not attend rates as a result of women giving birth. The aim of this ...

ObjectiveAs gonad shielding is currently under debate, this study evaluates the practice, from its introduction in about 1905 until today.MethodsThe literature was searched for developments in shielding and insights into the effects of ionising radiation on gonads. Based on own pre-1927 dose reconstructions, reported doses after 1927, a 2015-report...

L’objectif de ce travail est le contrôle des procédés représentés par des équations aux dérivées partielles. Deux procédés ont été considérés. Le premier procédé est un procédé de cristallisation en batch. L’objectif du contrôle est la génération d’une distribution des tailles de cristaux (DTC) ayant une taille moyenne adéquate. Tout d’abord, nous ...

Measures of brain activity through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or electroencephalography (EEG), two complementary modalities, are ground solutions in the context of neurofeedback (NF) mechanisms for brain rehabilitation protocols. While NF-EEG (in which real-time neurofeedback scores are computed from EEG signals) has been explored...

The exercise of solving engineering problems that require optimisation procedures can be seriously affected by uncertain variables, resulting in potential underperforming solutions. Although this is a well-known problem, important knowledge gaps are still to be addressed. For example, concepts of robustness largely differ from study to study, robus...

The Kuiper Belt is considered to be formed by remnants of the original Solar System, that is why exploration missions to that region are susceptible of having an enormous scientific impact. Nonetheless, it is far away from Earth, missions to KBO targets a significant challenge. Additionally, current methods to identify trajectories that encounter m...
