Ecofriendly remediation of cadmium, lead, and zinc using dead cells of Microcystis aeruginosa by Mohamad S. Abdelkarim, Mohamed H. H. Ali, Doaa A. Kassem

“…Isothermal analysis revealed that the adsorption of Cd(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) followed the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.96, q max > 67 mg/g). Kinetic studies indicated that the pseudo-second-order model best described the adsorption process (R2 > 0.94 and q e  > 81.3 mg/g.), suggesting a dominant chemisorption mechanism. …”

Measurement of SUVs-Maximum for Normal Region Using VOI in PET/MRI and PET/CT by Jeong Kyu Park, Sung Kyu Kim, Ihn Ho Cho, Eun Jung Kong

“…However, there appeared high correlation between them in view of statistics (R-square (R)>0.8). It is shown that one needs to decide SUVs-maximum for PET/MRI with the reduction of 25.0~26.4% from their evaluated value and needs to decide with the reduction of 28.8~29.4% in the same situation but with the use of contrast media. …”
