Harmless treatment of municipal solid waste incinerator fly ash through shaft furnace.

Municipal solid waste incinerator fly ash (MSWI FA) is a type of waste that is harmful to the environment, and the melting treatment methods can treat MSWI FA, removing its potential negative impacts. However, special equipment is required for the FA melting process, which necessitates high costs. Metallurgical shaft furnaces (MSF) can melt MSWI FA efficiently.

Advanced converter sludge utilization technologies for the recovery of valuable elements: A review.

Due to the high proportion of the steel output produced by oxygen converter, significant quantities of converter sludge (CS) is generated annually as waste material. This study aims to review the latest CS utilization technologies and illuminate the migration behaviors of harmful substances as well as valuable elements. The intrinsic characteristics, including chemical constitution, size distribution, mineralogical composition, microstructure, and viscosity of the CS are studied.

[Efficacy and safety of № I Empirical Prescription for Chronic Prostatitis in the treatment of type Ⅲ refractory chronic prostatitis].

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency and safety of № I Empirical Prescription for Chronic Prostatitis (№ I EPCP) in the treatment of type Ⅲ refractory chronic prostatitis.

Methods: We randomly assigned 53 cases of type Ⅲ refractory chronic prostatitis with damp-heat and blood stasis to an experimental and a control group to receive № I EPCP at 1 dose per day and saw palmetto extract at 160 mg bid), respectively, all for 8 weeks. Before and after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, we obtained The National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) scores, Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Scores (TCMSS), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), average urinary flow rate (Qavg), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) scores and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) scores, and compared them between the two groups of patients.

ReaxFF Molecular Dynamics Simulation for the Graphitization of Amorphous Carbon: A Parametric Study.

A parametric study of ReaxFF for molecular dynamics simulation of graphitization of amorphous carbon was conducted. The responses to different initial amorphous carbon configurations, simulation time steps, simulated temperatures, and ReaxFF parameter sets were investigated. The results showed that a time step shorter than 0.

[Sertraline hydrochloride combined with four-spot caressing for primary premature ejaculation].

Objective: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of sertraline hydrochloride combined with four-spot caress in the treatment of primary premature ejaculation (PE).

Methods: We randomly assigned 90 primary PE patients to three groups of equal number. The patients in group A (aged [28.

[A correlation study of Tei index and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in patients with high-altitude heart disease].

Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of Tei index of right ventricle and serum level of NT-proBNP in patients with high-altitude heart disease (HAHD).

Methods: Right ventricle Tei index and serum NT-proBN level were calculated and tested in 32 local healthy volunteers and 34 cases of HAHD patients hospitalized in our hospital in Golmud city (2808 meters above sea level) from 2008 to 2010, and a correlation study was conducted thereafter.

Results: The pulmonary arterial systolic pressure and right ventricle Tei index, elevated significantly in HAHD patients compared with the control group [(86.
