Three ultrafiltration membranes were prepared using phase separation techniques.The membranes were characterized by scan electron microscope, porosity, pore size distribution measurement, and mechanical properties.The membrane performance was carried out using synthetic solutions from humic acid and RAW GOLDEN HONEY tap water to express the contami
Background & Objective: The fair distribution of medical specialists among the population of a country is one of the requirements for the public health.We aimed to investigating the distribution of medical specialists using Gini coefficient in all governmental hospitals in two medical universities of Golestan (15 hospitals) and Mazandaran (23 hospi
Polar areas are not exempt from anthropogenic pollution.Heavy metals have been detected in Arctic and Antarctic lakes.Bacteria, at the base of the food web, can possess the ability to adsorb or immobilize heavy metals in the environment and reduce their concentration in the water column.However, several gaps exist in our knowledge of bacterial tole
