Glucosamine derived hydrothermal carbon electrodes for aqueous electrolyte energy storage systems.

Nitrogen-doped porous hard carbons are synthesized by hydrothermal carbonization method (HTC) using glucosamine as biosource and treated at different carbonization temperatures in nitrogen environment (500, 750, 1000 °C). The electrochemical performances of hard carbons electrode materials for aqueous electrolyte sodium ion batteries are examined to observe the effect of two different voltage ranges (-0.8-0.

Association of Wider Social Environment with Relapse in Schizophrenia: Registry Based Six-Year Follow-Up Study.

Introducton: The impact of social environment on the frequency and prevalence of schizophrenia is well known. However, in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, there are few studies which investigate the effect of social environment on disease prognosis and relapse. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neighborhood social capital level and address change on relapse in schizophrenia and similar psychotic disorders.

Preparation and evaluation of an orally fast disintegrating tablet formulation containing a hydrophobic drug.

Orally fast disintegrating tablets (FDTs or ODTs) have received ever-increasing demand during the last decade, and the field has become a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical industry. Upon introduction into the mouth, these tablets dissolve or disintegrate in the mouth in the absence of additional water for easy administration of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Although the FDT area has passed its infancy, as shown by a large number of commercial products on the market, there are still many aspects to improve in the FDT formulations.

Trace elements affect methanogenic activity and diversity in enrichments from subsurface coal bed produced water.

Microbial methane from coal beds accounts for a significant and growing percentage of natural gas worldwide. Our knowledge of physical and geochemical factors regulating methanogenesis is still in its infancy. We hypothesized that in these closed systems, trace elements (as micronutrients) are a limiting factor for methanogenic growth and activity.
