Background: Studies in convenience, non-clinical samples of young adults suggest overlap between online compulsive buying-shopping disorder (OCBSD) and social-networks-use disorder (SNUD).Considering the dearth of research, this study investigated OCBSD and SNUD in clinical samples.Methods: Fan Women with either OCBSD (n = 37) or SNUD (n = 41) were
Techno-Economic and Life Cycle Impacts Analysis of Direct Methanation of Glycerol to Bio-Synthetic Natural Gas at a Biodiesel Refinery
An economic and environmental feasibility study were carried out on the thermochemical conversion of glycerol to medium methane content biological synthetic natural gas (bio-SNG).A plant that processed 497 kg·h−1 of glycerol to bio-SNG was modelled as an on-site addition to a soybean biodiesel plant based in Missouri (USA) that produced
Improved microscopical detection of acid-fast bacilli by the modified bleach method in lymphnode aspirates
Objectives: To improve the smear microscopy for detection of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in fine Collections needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of lymph node using the bleach method and also to compare this with cytological diagnosis and the conventional Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) method.Study Design: In 99 consecutive patients with clinical suspicion of tuberc
Consolidation of Central Columns of Civil Multistory Structures to Increase the Critical Buckling Force
Civil multi-story structures are used as office buildings or residential buildings.The central pillars on the ground floor of the civil structures will have the largest gravitational load and implicitly will be the pillars most stressed in compression.In this paper, the authors propose to increase Sandals the critical buckling load of the central p
