Adsorption and Desorption of Naphthalene in Bioretention Cells

Naphthalene is a toxic contaminant commonly found in urban stormwater. Low impact development stormwater management practices such as bioretention cells are effective in reducing contaminant input into downstream. To this date, the transfer and transformation processes of typical urban runoff trace organic contaminants have not been characterized extensively; particularly in winter conditions. This study investigated the adsorption and desorption of naphthalene in bioretention cells at various temperatures and salinities. In all experiments, more than 70% of the initially added naphthalene was adsorbed on the bioretention soil at equilibrium. Temperature and salinity showed little but inconsistent effects, and the adsorption of naphthalene was partially reversible under some conditions. Despite its reversibility, naphthalene desorption may allow for the regeneration of the sorption capacity of the soil media, and transformation processes to take place. Overall, these results suggest that bioretention cells can store up to 80% of the inflowing naphthalene over short periods.M.A.S

Mobil Sağlık ve Hemşirelik

Gün geçtikçe mobil teknolojilerin kullanımının artmasıyla mobil sağlığın, sağlık sistemleri içerisindeki yeri daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Mobil sağlık, mobil telefonlar, hasta takip araçları, kişisel dijital asistanlar gibi mobil teknolojiler ve iletişim araçları ile sağlık hizmetlerinin sunulması olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Toplumu hastalıklar hakkında bilinçlendirme, sağlıklarını korumaları ve sürdürmeleri konusunda yönlendirme ve uyarılarda bulunma amacıyla mobil sağlığın günümüzde önemli gelişmelere yol açacağı düşünülmektedir. Mobil teknolojilerin sağlık sisteminde kullanılmasıyla da hemşirelik hizmetlerinin etkili bir şekilde yürütülmesinde büyük avantajlar sağlayacaktır. Bu derlemede de, günümüzün sağlık sisteminde yeni bir kavram olan mobil sağlığın sağlık sistemindeki ve hemşirelik hizmetlerindeki yeri ele alınmaktadırAs mobile technologies are used more and more widely, the place of mobile health in health systems gains further importance. Mobile health is defined as delivery of health services through mobile technologies and means of communication like mobile phones, patient follow up instruments and personal digital assistants. It is considered that mobile health will provide significant opportunities in our day in informing and warning communities about diseases and ways of protection and sustaining their health. the use of mobile technologies in health systems will bring along significant advantages in delivery of nursing services. This compilation addresses the place of mobile health as a new concept in in our present day health system and nursing services

Synthesis of Liquid Crystal Templated Polymeric Microparticles Shaped by Microwells

We aimed to develop a new method for the synthesis of liquid crystal templated microparticles. In this study, polydimetylsiloxane (PDMS) masks which have protrusions in micro dimensions were used to template polyvinylalcohol (PVA) microwells. The liquid crystal mixtures of a reactive mesogen (RM257) and a nonreactive liquid crystal (E7) were filled into PVA microwells. The solution was then photopolymerized using a UV light source. After polymerization, microparticles were collected by dissolving PVA microwell mold in water. We characterized the configurations of the LCs and found that two LC defects analogous to the boojum defects in bipolar LC droplets were obtained in LCs confined in circular microwells. After photopolymerization, the particles were subjected to an extraction of the unreacted LCs using ethanol. This step allowed the microparticles to shrink and maintain a hyperbolic paraboloid (saddle) shaped particles consistent with the initial anchoring conditions at the interfaces of the microwells and anisotropic shrinkage of similar systems.[1] Characterization of the particles synthesized at different conditions were done by using polarized microscope.
