Amino-carboxyl cellulose for adsorption of Cd and Pb.

An amino-carboxyl cellulose was synthesized using the grafting of glycine on the aldehyde cellulose through a Schiff base reaction for the adsorption of heavy metals with Cd and Pb as the representative. Higher affinity of the amino-carboxyl cellulose was found at pH 4.5-5.

Social trust and the location choices of foreign firms in China-The moderating role of formal institution and cultural distance.

The institutional environment has a significant impact on the location of overseas investments by multinational enterprises (MNEs). However, there remain two research gaps. First, fewer studies focused on the impact of subnational regional institutions on the location choices of MNEs.

Botulinum Toxin A, a Better Choice for Skeletal Muscle Block in a Comparative Study With Lidocaine in Rats.

A positive response to scalene muscle block (SMB) is an important indication for the diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome. Lidocaine injection is commonly used in clinical practice in SMB, although there have been some cases of misdiagnosis. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) is one of the therapeutic agents in SMB, but whether it is also indicated for SMB diagnosis is controversial.

How Does Social Support Affect the Retention Willingness of Cross-Border E-Commerce Sellers?

E-commerce research usually focuses more on how to protect consumers' rights and increase their purchase intention from the perspective of consumers. However, we still lack understanding of e-commerce sellers, especially cross-border e-commerce sellers. Based on the stimulus-body-response theory, this paper built a moderated mediation model to test the relationships among social support, perceived benefits, perceived usefulness and sellers' willingness to retain.

Experimental Study on the Fracture Parameters of Concrete.

This study aimed to determine the influence of the volume fraction of steel fibers on the fracture parameters of concrete. Fifty notched steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams and ordinary concrete beams with 100 mm × 100 mm × 515 mm were cast and tested via a three-point bending test. Among them, the type of steel fiber was the milling type (MF), and the volume fraction of steel fiber added was 0%, 0.

Predictive significance of preoperative CT findings for suboptimal cytoreduction in advanced ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis.

Background: Computed tomography (CT) has been extensively used in predicting suboptimal cytoreduction (SCR) in advanced ovarian cancer (OC). However, disagreements remain in literatures on the predictive value of CT findings for SCR. This meta-analysis was designed to determine the ability of eight preoperative CT findings to predict SCR in advanced OC.
