A reactive dye(red K-3B) was used as an adsorbate to investigate the adsorption behavior by static and mobile ways. The removal of reactive red K-3B was found to be initially pH and concentration dependent. Moreover, an increase of solution temperature ranging from 5℃ to 60℃ helped to enhance the rate of intraparticle diffusion of adsorbate and changes in the size of the pores of the adsorbent and thus to reduce the adsorption time. The total breakthrough adsorption capacity was 531 mg/g, and the saturated adsorption capacity was 560 mg/g, which prevailed over the activated carbons evidently. The reactive red K-3B adsorbed on AGLA could be recovered with a mixture of alcohol, NaCl and HCl aqueous solutions. The recovery percentage could reach 92.4%.展开更多

The pathological mechanism of this phenomenon remains unknown. This study aimed to illuminate the features of RNS in Chinese patients with ALS. Methods： Clinical and electrophysiological data of 146 probable and definite ALS patients who underwent RNS were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed. LF-RNS （3 Hz） was performed in trapezius, deltoid, abductor digiti minimi （ADM）, quadriceps femoris, and tibialis anterior. High-frequency RNS （HF-RNS, 10 Hz） was performed only in ADM. The two-sample t-test and Chi-squared test were used for statistical analysis.Results： Decremental responses to LF-RNS （≥ 10%） in at least one muscle were detected in 83 （56.8%） of the cases and were most commonly seen in trapezius and deltoid. The incidence ofdecremental response was higher in patients with upper limb onset. Incremental responses to HF-RNS （≥60%） in ADM were observed in 6 （5.6%） of the cases. In 106 muscles with decremental response, 62 （57.4%） muscles had a continuous decremental pattern, more than a U-shape pattern （37 cases, 34.3%）. Nineteen cases showed definite decrements in LF-RNS tests in trapezius, while no abnormalities were found in the electromyography and neurological examination of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, supplied by the accessory nerve as well.Conclusions： Decremental responses in the RNS are commonly observed in ALS patients. The findings regarding the trapezius indicated that some ALS onsets could be initiated by a ＂dying back＂ process, with destruction of neuromuscular junctions （NMJs） before motor neurons. Incremental responses in the ADM implied damage of the NMJs involved both the post and presynaptic membranes.展开更多

From the experimental drying characteristic curves, the effects of temperature on drying process were observed to be more obvious in the low temperature region than in the high tem- perature region in muffle incinerator. At a specified drying temperature, drying time was highly dependent upon the packed waste thickness, having an exponent rela- tion with the thickness. When the drying temperature increased or the thickness of potato bulks was diminished, the maximum drying rate reduced. Based on the first-order reaction, activation energy (Ea), and factor A of potato and cabbage were determined.展开更多
