Microbiological and Physicochemical Characterization of Hospital Effluents before and after Treatment with Two Types of Sawdust by Rabea Elmountassir, Bahia Bennani, Youssef Miyah, Ahlam Fegousse, Ghita El Mouhri, Bouchra Oumokhtar, Mohammed Khatouf, Karima Elkarrach, Ghita Benjelloun Touimi, Anissa Lahrichi

“…Column filtration is an adequate method to reduce the pollutant load which makes it possible to have a rate of abatement of 97% and 79% by filtering the pollutant material using sawdust of catia and red sawdust, respectively, with a filter bed height equal to 13 cm. Physicochemical parameters such as chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, nitrate, ammonia, phosphorus, electrical conductivity and the bacteriological parameters like fecal coliforms, Streptococci, and Staphylococci have been measured. …”

Influence of oxygen on electronic correlation and transport in iron in the Earth’s outer core by Germán G. Blesio, Leonid V. Pourovskii, Markus Aichhorn, Monica Pozzo, Dario Alfè, Jernej Mravlje

“…At realistic 10 atomic% of oxygen, the thermal conductivity suppression by electronic correlations (about 20%) is of the same magnitude as that due to oxygen inclusion. Hence, both play an equally important role in reducing the conductivity and stabilizing the geodynamo. …”

Development of a Confocal Optical System Design for Molecular Imaging Applications of Biochip by Guoliang Huang, Shukuan Xu, Jiang Zhu, Cheng Deng, Zhonghua Dong, Yang Yang, Xiaoyong Yang, Xianhua Wang, Guofan Jin

“…This confocal optical system has a high scanning resolution, an excellent contrast and signal-to-noise ratio, and an efficiency of collected fluorescence of more than 2-fold better than that of other commercial confocal biochip scanners. The scanner is as equally good for the molecular imaging detection of enclosed biochips as for the detection of biological samples on a slide surface covered with a cover-slip glass. …”

First General Zagreb Index of Generalized F-sum Graphs by H. M. Awais, Muhammad Javaid, Akbar Ali

“…The first general Zagreb (FGZ) index (also known as the general zeroth-order Randić index) of a graph G can be defined as MγG=∑uv∈EGdGγ−1u+dGγ−1v, where γ is a real number. As MγG is equal to the order and size of G when γ=0 and γ=1, respectively, γ is usually assumed to be different from 0 to 1. …”
