NOVEL PROTOCOL FOR FOULING DETECTION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE BASED ON METHYLENE BLUE COLORIMETRIC METHOD BY IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUE

Novel protocol for fouling detection of reverse osmosis membrane based on methylene blue colorimetric method by image processing technique

In the current study, a novel methylene blue (MB)-based colorimetric method for a quick, inexpensive, and facile approach for the determination of fouling intensity of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane has been reported.This technique is based on the interaction of MB with the organic foulants and shows the corresponding change in the colour intensity

Aging and the number sense: preserved basic non-symbolic numerical processing and enhanced basic symbolic processing

Aging often leads to general cognitive decline in domains such as memory and attention.The effect of aging on numerical cognition, particularly on foundational numerical skills known as the Number Sense, is not well known.Early research focused on the effect of aging on arithmetic.Recent studies have begun to investigate the impact of healthy aging

Do acupuncture trials have lower risk of bias over the last five decades? A methodological study of 4 715 randomized controlled trials.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the change of the risk of bias (RoB) of acupuncture randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the past five decades.MethodsMultiple databases were searched.We included RCTs identified from systematic reviews (SRs) on acupuncture.General characteristics and RoB judgment for each domain were extracted.The proportions of RCTs at high
