INVESTIGATION ON PARAMETERS AFFECTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PHOTOCATALYTIC FUNCTIONAL COATINGS TO DEGRADE NO: TIO2 AMOUNT ON SURFACE, ILLUMINATION, AND SUBSTRATE ROUGHNESS

Investigation on Parameters Affecting the Effectiveness of Photocatalytic Functional Coatings to Degrade NO: TiO2 Amount on Surface, Illumination, and Substrate Roughness

This paper deals with the degradation of NO by photocatalytic oxidation using TiO2-based coatings.Tests are conducted at a laboratory scale through an experimental setup inspired from ISO 22197-1 standard.Various parameters are explored to evaluate their influence on photocatalysis efficiency: TiO2 dry matter content applied to the surface, nature

Changes in prevalence and the cascade of care for type 2 diabetes over ten years (2005-2015): results of two nationally representative surveys in Mozambique

Abstract Background Sub-Saharan Africa is predicted to have the steepest increase in the prevalence of diabetes in the next 25 years.The latest Mozambican population-based STEPS survey (STEPS 2005) estimated a 2.9% prevalence of diabetes in the adult population aged 25-64 years.We aimed to assess the change in prevalence, awareness, and management
