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. …”

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. …”

The Thermodynamic Relationship between the RN-AdS Black Holes and the RN Black Hole in Canonical Ensemble by Yu-Bo Ma, Li-Chun Zhang, Jian Liu, Ren Zhao, Shuo Cao

“…In this paper, by analyzing the thermodynamic properties of charged AdS black hole and asymptotically flat space-time charged black hole in the vicinity of the critical point, we establish the correspondence between the thermodynamic parameters of asymptotically flat space-time and nonasymptotically flat space-time, based on the equality of black hole horizon area in the two different types of space-time. …”

Make it through tough times as a group: on the importance of collective predictors of protection behavior and policy acceptance of mitigation measures during the COVID-19 pandemic by Annedore Hoppe, Anna Maria Becker, Immo Fritsche, Johannes Lautenbacher

“…., health threats) and propose that collective factors, such as ingroup norms and collective efficacy, are equally important. Across three measurement points during Germany’s first COVID-19 wave (March–May 2020, N = 469), we found that both personal and collective factors independently predicted protection behavior and policy acceptance. …”
