Removal of Toxic 2, 4-Dinitrophenol (2, 4-DNP) and 2, 4, 6-Trinitrophenol (2, 4, 6-TNP) through Adsorptive Interaction with Metal Ferrocyanides | Chapter 02 | Theory and Applications of Chemistry Vol. 1

Antimony,  cadmium  and  zirconium  hexacyanoferrates  (II)  were  synthesized  and  characterized  by elemental and spectral studies. Interaction of 2, 4-dinitrophenol (2, 4-DNP) and 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol (2,  4, 6-TNP)  with  antimony,  cadmium  and  zirconium  hexacyanoferrates (II)  have  been  studied  at neutral pH (7.00 ± 0.01) and a temperature of 30 ± 1°C. The progress of adsorption was followed spectrophotometrically  by  measuring  the  absorbance of  substituted  phenols at  their corresponding λmax.  The  nature  of  adsorption  has  been  interpreted  from  the  shape  of  adsorption  isotherms.  The Langmuir type of adsorption is followed in the concentration range of 10ˉ³ –10ˉ⁴ M of 2, 4-DNP and 2, 4, 6-TNP solutions. The 2, 4, 6 -TNP was found to have greater affinity for the antimony, cadmium and zirconium hexacyanoferrates (II) than 2, 4 –DNP. High adsorption capacity has been observed for  cadmium  hexacyanoferrate  (II)  while  it  is  minimum  with  zirconium  hexacyanoferrate  (II),  which indicate highly porous characteristics of cadmium hexacyanoferrate (II) in comparison to other metal hexacyanoferrates  (II)  studied.  Removal  of  toxic  phenol  is  necessary  for  the  protection  of  our environment.  Phenols  react  with  soil  to  reduce  their  fertility  therefore  its  removal  from  soil  is  also important for our food security. The p-nitrophenol was found to have greater affinity for the antimony, cadmium and zirconium ferrocyanides than the p-aminophenol. The adsorption of 2, 4-DNP and 2, 4,6-TNP on copper, zinc, molybdenum and chromium ferrocyanides was studied at different pH and temperature. The thermodynamic parameters for adsorption od 2, 4-DNP and 2, 4, 6-TNP on metal ferrocyanides is reported.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

Patients’ Perspective of Acute Post-operative Pain Management: A Multicentre Survey of Tertiary Hospitals in Maharashtra, India | Chapter 08 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 When postoperative pain is adequately controlled, patients' satisfaction and patient-related outcomes (PROs) increase. Understanding the patients' perspective is crucial since it supports in the formulation of improvement strategies. Because wrong attitudes and assumptions might block pain alleviation, patients' attitudes and beliefs are critical. As a result, a multicenter study of patients' attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and satisfaction levels with acute postoperative pain management was done in Maharashtra's tertiary hospitals. In addition, the responses were examined to evaluate if the Acute Pain Service (APS) resulted in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. A 13-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies was used to capture patients' experiences with postoperative pain treatment. The responses of 179 patients are included in the study. The findings revealed that 91.6 percent of patients experienced postoperative pain, with 75.5 percent
