DEGRADATION OF MICROPOLLUTANT CEPHALEXIN BY ULTRAVIOLET (UV) AND ASSESSMENT OF RESIDUAL ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF TRANSFORMATION PRODUCTS

Degradation of micropollutant cephalexin by ultraviolet (UV) and assessment of residual antimicrobial activity of transformation products

Cephalexin (CEX) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals.However, it is also a micropollutant.Thus, this study evaluated the degradation of CEX using ultraviolet irradiation (UV-C) and analyzed 8 Tracks the by-products as well as their residual antimicrobial activity.A reactor with a mercury vapor lamp was

Quantitative Assessment of Variational Surface Reconstruction from Sparse Point Clouds in Freehand 3D Ultrasound Imaging during Image-Guided Tumor Ablation

Surface reconstruction for freehand 3D ultrasound is used to provide 3D visualization of a VOI (volume of interest) during image-guided tumor ablation surgery.This is a challenge because the recorded 2D B-scans are not only sparse but also non-parallel.To solve this issue, we established a Flatware / Cutlery Racks framework to reconstruct the surfa
