September 2024
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the ecological health of waters in the Saudi Arabian Exclusive Economic Zone using benthic biotic indices from 2013 to 2018, covering 67 sampling locations with various depths and salinity.
- Researchers found variations in macrobenthic density, averaging 566 individuals per square meter, and measured biodiversity with a Shannon diversity index averaging 4.70.
- Most locations were deemed slightly disturbed or undisturbed, with 95.5% of sites showing good or high ecological status according to the M-AMBI analysis.
Background: Post traumatic seizures (PTS) and post traumatic epilepsy (PTE) are potential consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI). There is no consensus regarding its management among treating doctors.
Purpose: We have undertaken a global survey to assess the variability of management practices of PTS and PTE and highlight the pressing need to formulate uniform practice guidelines.
Pyrolytic conversion of human hair to fuel: performance evaluation and kinetic modelling.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the pyrolysis process for disposing of discarded human hair, aiming to mitigate environmental and health impacts.
- It finds that using 250 g of hair at temperatures between 210-300 °C yields a high bio-oil output of 97%.
- Chemical analysis reveals the bio-oil's composition and properties, including pH, specific gravity, and several identified compounds such as amino acids, with significant mass loss occurring at specific temperatures during the pyrolysis process.
