Effect of microstructure of modified diatomite on its adsorption properties by T. Ia. Datsko, V. I. Zelentsov

“…The increase in the specific surface area of DMA is connected with variation of the ratio of the micro- and mesopores through the filling of the large mesopores with aluminosilicate and its own microporous structure increment; the specific surface area gets 81.8 m2/g, which is 2.5 times larger than the corresponding value of the initial unprocessed diatomite (37.5 m2/g). …”

An Assessment of Right Hepatic Artery Variations Using Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography Angiography by Mahadev Sidram Shiraganve, Veereshkumar S. Shirol, Virupaxi V. Hattiholi, Sheetal V. Pattanshetti

“…The continuation or unusual regression of parts of the early blood vessel system is responsible for these variations. A thorough preoperative evaluation of the source and branching configuration of the right hepatic artery (RHA) is essential for effective resections related to the right hepatic lobe due to the significant variability in the vascular structure of the right intrahepatic region. …”
