The magnitude of parental physical harms: a descriptive report of 76 abusive children in Isfahan.

Background: Victimization of parents by their children is a widespread phenomenon. However, there is a shortage of literature regarding the abusive behavior of children in Iranian society. The primary focus of this study was to highlight the magnitude and nature of the abusive behavior of a handful of Iranian children toward their parents.

Modification of activated carbon by MIL-53(Al) MOF to develop a composite framework adsorbent for CO capturing.

In this research, a novel composite is synthesized based on activated carbon and MIL-53(Al) through the solution mixing method at different MOF weight fractions, and the CO loading of prepared samples are measured in the batch and continuous apparatus. The structure, crystallinity, surface area, and chemical functionality of activated carbon, MIL-53(Al), and developed composite are characterized through BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The CO and N adsorption capacity of activated carbon, MIL-53(Al), and composites are examined in an isothermal batch reactor at the pressure range 0-110 kPa and equilibrium temperature 305 K.

Enhancement of hydrogen gas sensing of nanocrystalline nickel oxide by pulsed-laser irradiation.

This paper reports the effect of post-laser irradiation on the gas-sensing behavior of nickel oxide (NiO) thin films. Nanocrystalline NiO semiconductor thin films were fabricated by a sol-gel method on a nonalkaline glass substrate. The NiO samples were irradiated with a pulsed 532-nm wavelength, using a Nd:YVO(4) laser beam.
