Kinetics and Equilibrium Studies of the Adsorption of Copper(II) Ions from Industrial Wastewater Using Activated Carbons Derived from Sugarcane Bagasse by Temiloluwa E. Amoo, Kehinde O. Amoo, Opeyemi A. Adeeyo, Clement O. Ogidi

“…The modeling of kinetic data of Cu(II) ions adsorption onto BAC-P and BAC-Zn adsorbents illustrated that the Elovich kinetic model fitted well. Here, the adsorption process was film-diffusion controlling, while being principally governed by external mass transport where the slowest step is the diffusion of the particles through the film layer. …”

Psychometric properties of the Chinese-version Behavioral Inhibition System/Behavioral Activation System Scales among stroke survivors with depressive symptoms by Dan Shi, Yuen Yu Chong, Lijuan Zhou, Ho Yu Cheng

“…The findings of CFAs supported the original four-factor structure of BAS-reward, BAS-drive, BAS-fun seeking, and BIS with acceptable model fit indices. Discriminative validity, assessed via known-group analysis, indicated that stroke survivors with probable depression had significantly lower mean BAS-reward, BAS-drive, and BAS-fun seeking scores (P < 0.001) and a higher mean BIS score (P = 0.028) compared to those without probable depression. …”
