The increasing interest in using chitosan nanoparticles for controlled drug delivery is hampered by its blood incompatibility, especially intravenous applications. This study investigated the effects of processing solvents (acetic acid/lactic acid), dispersing media (acidic medium/saline), and surface modifiers (polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, ethylenediaminetetraacetatic acid) on hemocompatibility chitosan. Blood compatibility prepared ionotropic gelation with altered chemistry was...
Desalination plants employing feed water sourced from saline groundwater (SGW) are a feasible approach to tackle freshwater scarcity and seawater intrusion (SWI). Available studies lacked comprehensive analysis quantifying the impact of pumping coastal aquifer, on changes in solute transport mechanism. This study investigates different rates SGW aquifer. A regional-scale model resembling Upper Floridan aquifer was modelled using SEAWAT quantify SWI variables. The found that length toe...
Marine biogrowth infestation of a seawater intake system was investigated. A digital camera fixed onto skid used to record the at intervals 5 m up depth 55 m. Divers inspected shaft and collected samples for biomass estimation. density 7.5 kg m−2 28.2 recorded 30 depths respectively. Inspection by divers revealed that hard-shelled organisms such as oysters brown green mussels were observed in plenty thickness 15 cm bryozoans grew epibionts. At lower (<40 m), hydroids on shells along with...
This paper presents a study on the application of fracture mechanics analysis- based damage tolerance design methodology to manned submersible pressure hull. The first step in this is assumption initial crack length Then, critical size at which failure would occur calculated, material's toughness. uses Paris equation determine growth life Fatigue number cycles required for grow from size. In full compressive nominal stress cycle, fatigue rate and are estimated with an effective intensity...
Background: Sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity, especially during the first five days life in low middle-income countries. The purpose this study was to note clinical features analyze relationship between septic screen blood culture positive sepsis neonatal unit.Methods: A one-year descriptive cross-sectional carried out at NICU teaching hospital India.Results: incidence clinically suspected septicemia 19.3 per 1000 live births 2.9 among inborn hospital. most common...
Coastal communities in dry and semiarid areas confront a severe scarcity of potable water. To meet the requirements growing population by increased inland groundwater pumping, led to saltwater intrusion, which eventually rendered available water unfit for human use. According studies, desalination plants using saline as feed (subsurface intake) might alleviate the&#160;problems&#160;with&#160;coastal&#160;water&#160;supply&#160;and&#160;quality. In this context,...
&lt;p&gt;Demand for more sustainable aquifer management solution has exacerbated in view of the seawater intrusion occurring coastal aquifers, particularly arid areas, where surface water is not aplenty. Feasibility studies showed saline ground pumping from within saltwater wedge, aiding mitigation and thus re-freshening aquifer. Such nearshore mostly draws sea. The impact pronounced higher rates, interface would be lowered toe position get shifted towards seaward side. This implies...
