This work describes the first real developments in radiochemistry around exotic radionuclides at the cyclotron of Orléans focusing on the radiochemistry of two radiometals 165Er and 52Mn. For these developments, targets were irradiated during 0.5–2 h at a maximum current of 2 µA. All activities have been determined by radiotracer method. The production of 165Er from a natural Ho target that was irradiated is described. Higher activities of 165Er were obtained via deuteron irradiation then proton with lower ratio 165Er/166Ho (400/1 to 8/1). By using LN2 resin, the separation of adjacent lanthanides was made on various concentrations of HNO3 (0.3 to 5 M). Weight coefficients (Dw) were defined in a batch test. Then, the first tests of separation on a semi-automated system were made: the ratio 166+natHo/165Er in an isolated fraction was significantly reduced (1294 ± 1183 (n = 3)) but the reliability and reproducibility of the system must be improved. Then, a new Cr powder-based target for 52Mn production was designed. Its physical aspects such as mechanics, thermal resistance and porosity have been studied. Dw for various compositions of eluent Ethanol/HCl were evaluated by reducing contact time (1 h) comparative to the literature. A first evaluation of semi-automated separation Cr/Mn has been made.

Abstract Mechanisms of Cr(VI) reduction by Fe(II) modified zeolite and vermiculite were evaluated. Adsorbents were treated with Fe(SO4).7H2O to saturate their exchange sites with Fe(II). Vermiculite (V-Fe) adsorbed more Fe(II) (21.8 mg g−1) than zeolite (Z-Fe) (15.1 mg g−1). Z-Fe and V-Fe were used to remove Cr(VI) from the solution by batch test to evaluate the effect of contact time and Cr(VI) initial concentration. Cr(VI) was 100% reduced to Cr(III) by Z-Fe and V-Fe from solution with 18 mg L−1 Cr(VI) in 1 minute. Considering that 3 moles Fe(II) are required to reduce 1 mole Cr(VI) (3Fe+2 + Cr+6 → 3Fe3+ + Cr+3), the iron content released from Z-Fe and V-Fe were sufficient to reduce 100% of Cr(VI) in solution by up to 46.8 mg L−1 Cr(VI), and about 90% (V-Fe) and 95% (Z-Fe) in solution with 95.3 mg L−1 Cr(VI). The assess of the Fe(II), Cr(III), Cr(VI), and K+ contents of the adsorbents and solutions after batch tests indicated that K+ ions from K₂Cr₂O₇ solution were the main cation adsorbed by Z-Fe, while vermiculite did not absorb any of these cations. The H+ of the acidic solution (pH around 5) may have been adsorbed by V-Fe. Therefore, the release of Fe(II) from Z-Fe and V-Fe involved cation exchange between, respectively, K+ and H+ ions from solution. The reduction of Cr(VI) by Fe(II) caused the precipitation of Cr(III) and Fe(III), and the decrease of pH of the solution to < 5. As acidity limits the precipitation of Cr(III) ions, they remained in solution and were not adsorbed by both adsorbents (since they prefer to adsorb K+ and H+). To avoid oxidation, Cr(III) can be removed by precipitation or adsorption by untreated minerals.

Tailored Communications

AbstractIn more and more medical settings, physicians have less and less time to be effective communicators. To be effective, they need accurate, current information about their patients. Tailored health communications can facilitate positive patient-provider communications and foster behavioral changes conducive to health. Tailored communications (TCs) are produced for an individual based on information about that person. The focus of this report is on tailored print communications (TPCs). TPCs also enhance the process of evaluation, because they require a database and the collection of patient-specific information. We present a Tailoring Model for Primary Care that describes the steps involved in creating TPCs. We also provide examples from three ongoing studies in which TPCs are being used in order to illustrate the kinds of variables used for tailoring the products that are developed and how evaluation is conducted. TPCs offer opportunities to expand the reach of health professionals and to give personalized, individualized massages in an era of shrinking professional contact time.

System The process of counting and storing in a manual water reservoir analysis has a high percentage of error rate compared to an automated system. In a company industry, especially in the WWT (Waste Water Treatment) section, it has several reservoir tanks as stock which are still counted manually. The ultrasonic sensor is placed at the top of the WWT tank in a hanging position. Basically, to measure the volume in a tank only variable height is always changing. So by utilizing the function of the ultrasonic sensor and also the tube volume formula, the stored AIR volume can be monitored in real time based on IoT using the Blynk application. From the sensor, height data is obtained which then the formula is processed by Arduino Wemos and then information is sent to the MySQL database server via the WIFI network.
