Cognitive distortions and pathological tendencies in sports betting by YXP Phua, Do Young Pyun, HK Leng

“…groups MANOVA showed that sport bettors recorded higher scores for Luck/Perseverance (M = 35.27, SD = 13.63) than non-gamblers (M = 17.60, SD = 8.20, p < .001) and non-sport gamblers (M = 27.19, SD = 11.81, p < .001). …”

Humic acids adsorption and decomposition on Mn2O3 and α-Al2O3 nanoparticles in aqueous suspensions in the presence of ozone by Julia S. Salla, Natan Padoin, Suelen M. Amorim, Gianluca Li-Puma, Regina F.P.M. Moreira

“…The removal and decomposition of humic acids (HAs) in the presence of ozone and aqueous suspensions of Mn2O3 and a-alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles was investigated. Mn2O3 presented lower BET specific surface area (15.6m2 g-1 vs 45.8m2 g-1) but a higher point of zero charge (PZC) (5.9 vs 4.2) than α-Al2O3. …”

Production of porous silica microparticles by membrane emulsification by Marijana Dragosavac, Goran Vladisavljevic, Richard Holdich, Michael T. Stillwell

“…The most uniform particles had a mean diameter of 40 μm and coefficient of variation of 17%. By altering the pH of the sodium silicate solution and aging the gel particles in water or acetone, the internal structure of the silica particles was successfully modified, and both micro- and mesoporous near-monodispersed spherical particles were produced with an average internal pore size between 1 and 6 nm and an average surface area between 360 and 750 m2 g–1. …”

Modification and characterisation of carbon fibre ion exchange media by I.D. Harry

“…The optimum constant current at which a combination of applied current and reduction time at any extent of reduction to produce ACC of maximum anion exchange capacity was found to be 5.5 A, with voltage of 9.8 V and current density of 6.4 mA/m2. Batch sorption experiments showed that the maximum chromium(VI) sorption capacity for electrochemically reduced ACC increased 2.12 times, with highest maximum chromium(VI) sorption capacity of 3.8 mmol/g at solution pH 4. …”

Management of filtrate from the hydrothermal pre-treatment of sewage sludge using anaerobic digestion followed by chemisorption by Eleni Nyktari

“…The nature of this adsorption reaction was presumed to be an anion sorption, highly dependent on the pH, with higher removal at low pH values, for all the materials except the PAC. …”
