Effects of Structure and Composition of Adsorbents on Competitive Adsorption of Gaseous Emissions: Experiment and Modeling.

Dangerous gases arising from combustion processes must be removed from the air simply and cheaply, e.g., by adsorption.

Analysis of the Effect of Catalytic Additives in the Agricultural Waste Combustion Process.

This paper presents the research results of the effect of using calcium oxide and potassium permanganate on the combustion of pellets from wheat bran and beet pulp. The measurements were performed in the technical laboratory of the Centre of Energy Utilization of Non-Traditional Energy Sources in Ostrava. The research examined the effect of the use of chemical substances on the amount of air pollutants from biomass thermal conversion in a low-power boiler and the process temperature.

A Case of Nocardia farcinica Keratitis in a Pediatric Contact Lens Wearer.

Purpose: To report a case of Nocardia farcinica keratitis in a pediatric contact lens wearer.

Methods: Case report and literature review.

Results: A pediatric contact lens wearer was initially misdiagnosed with a poorly healing corneal abrasion after swimming with his contact lenses.

A simulation tool for better management of retinal services.

Background: Advances in the management of retinal diseases have been fast-paced as new treatments become available, resulting in increasing numbers of patients receiving treatment in hospital retinal services. These patients require frequent and long-term follow-up and repeated treatments, resulting in increased pressure on clinical workloads. Due to limited clinic capacity, many National Health Service (NHS) clinics are failing to maintain recommended follow-up intervals for patients receiving care.

Möbius syndrome with cardiac rhabdomyomas.

Background: Möbius syndrome is a rare congenital condition which presents not merely with 6th and 7th nerve palsies, but involves gaze paresis associated with craniofacial, limb, and other abnormalities. Heterogeneity is well known in patients with Möbius syndrome and rather than being of familial inheritance based on rare cases, it is much more recognized as a sporadic syndrome. We report an infant with features of congenital Möbius syndrome associated with cardiac rhabdomyomas in the absence of tuberous sclerosis.
