AB  - Maple syrup, a popular natural sweetener has a high content of sucrose, whose consumption is linked to different health issues such as obesity and diabetes. Hence, within this paper, the conversion of sucrose to prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides, FOS) was proposed as a promising approach to obtaining a healthier, value-added product. Enzymatic conversion was optimized with respect to key experimental factors, and thereafter derived immobilized preparation of fructosyltransferase (FTase) from Pectinex® Ultra SP-L (FTase-epoxy Purolite, 255 IU/g support) was successfully utilized to produce novel functional product in ten consecutive reaction cycles. The product, obtained under optimal conditions (60 ◦C, 7.65 IU/mL, 12 h), resulted in 56.0% FOS, 16.7% sucrose, and 27.3% monosaccharides of total carbohydrates, leading to a 1.6-fold reduction in caloric content. The obtained products` prebiotic potential toward the probiotic strain Lactobacillus plantarum 299v was demonstrated. The changes in physico-chemical and sensorial characteristics were esteemed as negligible.

AB  - Providing structural information on drug-like compounds is a significant step in efforts to develop innovative drugs with balanced solubility, cell permeability and target binding. In this paper, a new cyclohexane-5-spirohydantoin tethered with a 4‑tert-butylbenzoyl group was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined using the single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to gain a preliminary insight into the proportion and nature of the intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure, while their quantitative description is further presented in terms of a systematic analysis of dimeric motifs representing different recognition modes. A combination of N–H∙∙∙O and C(sp3)–H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds, C(sp3)–H∙∙∙π, lone-pair∙∙∙π and π∙∙∙π stacking interactions links the molecules into a bilayer having two carbonyl O atoms exposed to the exterior. Further stacking of the bilayers occurs through C(sp3)–H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds involving these O atoms as acceptors, C(sp3)–H∙∙∙π and π∙∙∙π stacking interactions between the phenyl groups. The molecular electrostatic potential surface map reveals that the carbonyl O atoms of the hydantoin ring and the phenyl ring are electrophilic centers, while the N1–H1 group is a nucleophilic center. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies were used to semiquantitatively estimate the global reactivity descriptors suggesting the soft nature of the molecule.

AB  - Three novel triphenyltin(IV) compounds with modulated azo-carboxylato ligands: triphenylstannyl (E)-4-((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)diazenyl)benzoate, 1, triphenylstannyl (E)-4-((4-hydroxyphenyl)diazenyl)benzoate, 2, and triphenylstannyl (E)-4-((4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)diazenyl)benzoate, 3, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR and NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) spectroscopy. The structures and spectra of compounds were predicted by Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods at B3LYP-D3BJ/6–311++G(d,p)(H,C,N,O)/LanL2DZ(Sn) level of theory. Furthermore, the antitumor potential of ligand precursors, HL1–HL3, and appropriate organotin(IV) compounds 1–3 was evaluated across mouse melanoma B16F1, human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7, human colorectal HT-29 and human prostate PC3 cell lines using MTT and CV assays. The organotin(IV) compounds exhibit enhanced cellular uptake and efficacy in reducing viable cell numbers when compared to free acids. Specifically, compound 3 demonstrates a notable impact at lower nanomolar concentrations on all tested cell lines. Moreover, 3 induces cell death in MCF-7 cells by inhibiting cell division and promoting the overproduction of cellular nitric oxide (NO), ultimately leading to caspase-independent apoptosis. Importantly, this process occurs without concurrent activation of autophagy or the generation of ROS/RNS species. The binding affinity of 1–3 with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking simulations, suggesting their capacity to interact with these biomolecules.

AB  - Pesticides used in coffee cultivation may remain behind and pose a risk to humans even after various processing stages of coffee beans (washing, drying, roasting, and grinding). In addition to pesticides applied to battle pests and diseases, mepiquat formation occurs during roasting. A comprehensive LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS multi-residue screening approach to determine pesticides in coffee was used in this study. Residues were extracted using the QuEChERS method and analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry after chromatographic separations. Good linearity (r2˃0.9919), recovery (80.2–118%), and RSD (≤19%) were obtained for the procedure including sample preparation and both instrumental techniques. Nine residues were identified as commonly present in coffee samples collected from supermarkets in Serbia. The human intake risk of pesticides was categorized and prioritized using the matrix ranking scheme. Also, health risk assessment was conducted by calculating acute and chronic hazard indices. Multi-residues were present in 79.2% of samples, whereas mepiquat chloride (88.9%) and permethrin (81.9%) were the most detected residues. Risk ranking classified mepiquat chloride, permethrin, and methiocarb sulfone in a high-risk group. On the other hand, the human health risk assessment indicated no risks in the short- and long-term and no cumulative chronic risk.

AB  - This study focuses on the development of bioactive materials using environmentally friendly techniques, renewable, biocompatible, and biodegradable polysaccharide, as well as natural bioactive compounds (NBCs) found in plant extracts. First, cornstarch aerogels with a porosity of 86 % and a specific surface area of 225 m2/g were produced via supercritical CO2- assisted drying. Further, thymol, citronellol, carvacrol, and eugenol were incorporated into the aerogels by supercritical CO2- assisted impregnation, which allowed variation in loadings of NBCs (12.8–17.6 %). Interaction between cornstarch aerogels and NBCs determined impregnation rate, pore wall thickness (in the range 18–95 nm), liquid absorption capacity (from 265 to 569 %), dehydration mass loss, and release in phosphate-buffered saline. Controlled release of NBCs was maintained over a 3-day period. Moreover, impregnated aerogels showed a significant antioxidant effect with the highest value for DPPH radical inhibition of 25.5 % determined for the aerogels impregnated with eugenol. Notable antimicrobial activity against tested Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, and fungi was also observed, being the highest for thymol-loaded aerogel with the diameter of the inhibition zones of up to 37.5 mm. This work shows a promising green approach for the production of bioactive two-component starch-based materials for potential applications in skin infection treatment.

AB  - Anthropogenic activities predominantly affect environmental Pb pollution, especially during waste lead-acid battery (LAB) recycling operations. In this study, the presence of Pb and nine other potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the soil at an abandoned LAB recycling site was investigated. The focus was on spatial and vertical distributions and potential health issues related to PTEs. Average concentrations of Cd, As, Hg, Pb, Al, Zn, Cu, and Sb were elevated at all investigated soil depths, whereas the concentrations of Zn, Cu, and Sb were significant only on the soil surface. Positive matrix factorization, correlation and cluster analyses, as well as self-organizing maps, identified four primary pollution sources: recycling activities (Cd, Hg, Pb, and Sb), mixed anthropogenic sources (Zn and Cu), the soil parent material (As, Cr, and Ni), and surface runoff combined with sand application (Al and pH). While the non-carcinogenic risk results revealed a negligible risk for adults, the hazard index (HI) values for children were greater than one in 26% of the samples. For adults and children, the total carcinogenic risk (TCR) values were acceptable for 98% and 94% of the samples, respectively. Geospatial analysis identified the main hotspot in the battery disposal area. Source-specific non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were most influenced by recycling activities. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) of total HI for children showed that the risk value exceeded the threshold level (HI > 1) at the 10th percentile, whereas the maximum value of total HI for adults was 0.2. Regarding carcinogenic risk, the TCR values at the 95th percentile of all four sources for adults and children were below the limit value (1 × 10−4), indicating a low probability of cancer development.

abstract = "Anthropogenic activities predominantly affect environmental Pb pollution, especially during waste lead-acid battery (LAB) recycling operations. In this study, the presence of Pb and nine other potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the soil at an abandoned LAB recycling site was investigated. The focus was on spatial and vertical distributions and potential health issues related to PTEs. Average concentrations of Cd, As, Hg, Pb, Al, Zn, Cu, and Sb were elevated at all investigated soil depths, whereas the concentrations of Zn, Cu, and Sb were significant only on the soil surface. Positive matrix factorization, correlation and cluster analyses, as well as self-organizing maps, identified four primary pollution sources: recycling activities (Cd, Hg, Pb, and Sb), mixed anthropogenic sources (Zn and Cu), the soil parent material (As, Cr, and Ni), and surface runoff combined with sand application (Al and pH). While the non-carcinogenic risk results revealed a negligible risk for adults, the hazard index (HI) values for children were greater than one in 26% of the samples. For adults and children, the total carcinogenic risk (TCR) values were acceptable for 98% and 94% of the samples, respectively. Geospatial analysis identified the main hotspot in the battery disposal area. Source-specific non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were most influenced by recycling activities. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) of total HI for children showed that the risk value exceeded the threshold level (HI > 1) at the 10th percentile, whereas the maximum value of total HI for adults was 0.2.

AB  - Nanofibers made of natural proteins have caught the increasing attention of food scientists because of their edibility, renewability, and possibility for various applications. The objective of this study was to prepare nanofibers based on pumpkin leaf protein concentrate (LPC) as a by-product from some crops and gelatin as carriers for vitamin B12 using the electrospinning technique. The starting mixtures were analyzed in terms of viscosity, density, surface tension, and electrical conductivity. Scanning electron micrographs of the obtained nanofibers showed a slight increase in fiber average diameter with the addition of LPC and vitamin B12 (~81 nm to 109 nm). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy verified the physical blending of gelatin and LPC without phase separation. Thermal analysis showed the fibers had good thermal stability up to 220 °C, highlighting their potential for food applications, regardless of the thermal processing. Additionally, the newly developed fibers have good storage stability, as detected by low water activity values ranging from 0.336 to 0.376. Finally, the release study illustrates the promising sustained release of vitamin B12 from gelatin-LPC nanofibers, mainly governed by the Fickian diffusion mechanism. The obtained results implied the potential of these nanofibers in the development of functional food products with improved nutritional profiles.

AB  - This study aimed to (1) comparatively analyze properties of Sr- and Mg-substituted hydroxyapatite (HAP)-based dental inserts; (2) evaluate insert bonding to restorative materials, and (3) evaluate the effect of doped HAP inserts on fracture resistance (FR) of human molars with large occlusal restorations. By ion-doping with Sr or Mg, 3 insert types were obtained and characterized using XRD, SEM, Vickers hardness and fracture toughness. Shear bond strength (SBS) was determined between acid etched or unetched inserts and following materials: Maxcem cement (Kerr); Filtek Z250 (3M) bonded with Single Bond Universal (SBU; 3M) or Clearfil Universal (Cf; Kuraray). Modified Class I cavities were prepared in 16 intact molars and restored using insert + composite or composite only (control) (n = 8/group). FR of restored molars was determined by static load until fracture upon thermal cycling. Fracture toughness was similar between Sr/Mg-doped inserts (0.94–1.04 MPam 1/2 p = .429). Mg-doped inserts showed greater hardness (range 4.78–5.15 GPa) than Sr6 inserts (3.74 ± 0.31 GPa; p < .05). SBS for SBU and Cf adhesives (range 7.19–15.93 MPa) was higher than for Maxcem (range 3.07–5.95 MPa) (p < .05). There was no significant difference in FR between molars restored with insert-containing and control restorations (3.00 ± 0.30 kN and 3.22 ± 0.42 kN, respectively; p > .05). HAP-based inserts doped with Mg/Sr had different composition and mechanical properties. Adhesive bonding to inserts resulted in greater bond strength than cementation, which may be improved by insert acid-etching. Ion-doped HAP inserts did not affect FR of restored molars. In conclusion, HAP-based dental inserts may potentially replace dentin in large cavities, without affecting fracture resistance of restored teeth.

AB  - Population growth, urbanization, industry, floods, and agriculture globally degrade groundwater in river plains, necessitating action for its quality assessment and management. Hence, a comprehensive methodology, including hydrogeochemical facies (Piper, Gibbs), irrigation indices (SAR, Wilcox), entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI), positive matrix factorization (PMF), and Monte Carlo simulation of source-specific health risks was used in this study to analyze groundwater in the Morava river plain (Serbia). The results revealed a prevalent Ca–Mg–HCO3 groundwater type, influenced by water–rock interactions. Although groundwater was found suitable for irrigation, only 66.7 % of the samples were considered drinkable. Agricultural activities, natural processes, and municipal wastewater were identified as primary pollution sources. The incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) and hazard index (HI) threshold exceedance for adults and children ranged from 8.5 % to 39 % of the samples, with arsenic identified as the most risk-contributing contaminant. These findings provide valuable insights for researchers studying groundwater vulnerability in river plains.

AB  - This study presents an innovative approach for the reuse and recycling of waste material, brewer’s spent grain (BSG) for
creating a novel green biocatalyst. The same BSG was utilized in several consecutive steps: initially, it served as a substrate
for the cultivation and production of laccase by a novel isolated fungal strain, Coriolopsis trogii 2SMKN, then, it was reused
as a carrier for laccase immobilization, aiding in the process of azo dye decolorization and fnally, reused as recycled BSG
for the second successful laccase immobilization for six guaiacol oxidation, contributing to a zero-waste strategy. The novel
fungal strain produced laccase with a maximum activity of 171.4 U/g after 6 days of solid-state fermentation using BSG
as a substrate. The obtained laccase exhibited excellent performance in the decolorization of azo dyes, both as a free and
immobilized, at high temperatures, without addition of harmful mediators, achieving maximum decolorization efciencies
of 99.0%, 71.2%, and 61.0% for Orange G (OG), Congo Red, and Eriochrome Black T (EBT), respectively. The immobilized
laccase on BSG was successfully reused across fve cycles of azo dye decolorization process. Notably, new green biocatalyst
outperformed commercial laccase from Aspergillus spp. in the decolorization of OG and EBT. GC-MS and LC-MS revealed
azo-dye degradation products and decomposition pathway. This analysis was complemented by antimicrobial and phytotoxicity tests, which confrmed the non-toxic nature of the degradation products, indicating the potential for safe environmental
disposal.

± 0.30 kN and 3.22 ± 0.42 kN, respectively; p > .05). HAP-based inserts doped with
Mg/Sr had different composition and mechanical properties. Adhesive bonding to
inserts resulted in greater bond strength than cementation, which may be improved by
insert acid-etching. Ion-doped HAP inserts did not affect FR of restored molars. In conclusion,
HAP-based dental inserts may potentially replace dentin in large cavities, without
affecting fracture resistance of restored teeth.",

AB  - Polymer composites based on unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) and reinforced with particles based on unmodified/modifiedplant provenance biosilica particles were synthesized and characterized. An unsaturated polyester resin was obtained fromwaste poly (ethylene terephthalate (PET). Biosilaca particles are made from rice husk biomass. The surface of the producedsilica particles was modified using three different silanes: 3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (MEMO), trimethoxyvinylsilane (TMEVS), and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS). The microhardness test method was used to investigatethe mechanical properties of synthesized composite material with variations in dwell times and applied loads. Optimization ofcomposite microhardness value prediction in function of synthesized parameters (type of modification of silica particles) andmeasurement parameters (applied loads and dwell times) was done using the method of response surface methodology (RSM)regression analysis. The maximal microhardness values (0.459 GPa) were obtained of type modification of silica particles withvinyl with 80% confidence for 120 experimental variables. This method can be used to choose the optimal dwell time and loadfor comparison of measurements between different composite materials and to enable the choice of the material in terms ofoptimization of the quality of reinforcement and quality of interphase determined by surface modification.

AB  - High concentrations of LTA zeolite (27-52mass%) were embedded in poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) matrix to obtain composite hydrogels with porosity and active sites originating from both components. Substandard mechanics of PMAA and aggregation of zeolite particles, were thereby overcome. The composites had remarkably higher density than PMAA xerogel (1700 to1400 kg m−3), higher crosslinking density (54.8 to1.29 mol m−3) and lower swelling degree (41 to 420 kg kg−1). Zeolite particles were uniformly dispersed in PMAA matrix and there was no agglomeration or leaching of zeolite despite very high concentrations. XRD patterns revealed that the inclusion of zeolite particles affected the short-range order in the PMAA matrix. Being an active filler LTA zeolite notably improved thermal stability and mechanics of PMAA hydrogel, multiplying the storage modulus 5.2 times in dry and 21.8 times in swollen state. Structure–property correlations were provided making the base for further development of tailor-made zeolite-PMAA composite hydrogels.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: Inflammation  process  in  human  body  can  lead  to  many serious inflammation-related  diseases. Hence, there are urge to find better solution for the treatment of the inflammation processes. Solution can be found in application  ofpoly(methacrylicacid)  hydrogels  which  have  potential  for  targeted  delivery  and  controlled  release  of drugs. These pH-sensitive hydrogelscan swell at the pH values between 5 and 8,and release drug in the process. So,taking into account that pH value at the inflammation site is around 6, these hydrogels are materials of choice. It  is  very  important thatthe system  for  controlled  releasebe  prepared  through mild  and  non-toxic  conditions  in order to preserve bioactivity of the drug andkeep good impact on environment. Enzymes are good candidates for eco-friendly preparation of hydrogels, because these greensubstancescan initiate polymerisation of various monomers. 
EXPERIMENTAL (or Materials and Methods):In this study, hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) were prepared through  eco-friendly  method  by  using enzyme/hydrogen  peroxide(HP)/ascorbic  acid(AA)as  initiator.  Two  groupsof the samples were prepared: in the first group peroxidase isolated from potato peel waste (with activity of 0.8 IU) was used in the initiation system, whereas in the second group peroxidase isolated from soya bean coats (with activity of 0.8  IU) was  employed  in  the  initiation  system.  The  amounts  of HPand AAin  both  series  were  40  μL  and  10  mg, respectively.Anti-inflammatory drugs,dexamethasone(5 mg/mL)and diclofenac(4.5 mg/mL)were encapsulated in the first and the second group of the PMAA samples, respectively. Anti-inflammatory  effect of the PMAA hydrogels  with encapsulated drugs were tested on the Bovine Chondrocytes cells.
RESULTS  AND  DISCUSSION:Results  showed  that  the  level  of  pro-inflammatory  mediators  NO  and  IL-8  decreased. The PCR analysis showed that the proinflammatory TNα, IL-6 genesexpression level decreased, the matrix catabolism MMP1and MMP3 genesexpression level decreased and the fibrotic COL2 and ACAN genes expression level increased.
CONCLUSIONS:The studyshowed that the PMAA hydrogels have anti-inflammatory effect and have potential for treatment of the inflammation processes.

AB  - A great deal of interest is directed towards g-C3N4 (CN) for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI), due to its high stability in acidic conditions and medium band gap (~2,7 eV), but its practical application is limited because of the high recombination rate of electrons and holes. Sulfuric acid treatment is considered as one of the methods for optimizing properties of CN by certain surface and possibly structure modifications which would lead to an increased specific surface area (Sp) and more active sites, anchoring electronegative groups to enhance charge separation, exfoliated bulk CN into the nanosheets, etc. The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of H2SO4 concentration and other experimental conditions (temperature and time) on physicochemical properties and photocatalytic efficiency of CN.

AB  - The Kevlar fabric composites have a wide range of applications in the
body armor and lightweight vehicle-armor structures. Nanoparticles are one of the
most common nanofillers for these structures. In this research, the testing specimens have been made from the Kevlar fabrics impregnated with the poly (vinyl
butyral)/ethanol solution which had been reinforced with the ZnO nanoparticles.
The two-layered composite samples have been fabricated by means of hot compression. The immersion of the square Kevlar/PVB specimens for the water uptake
measurements has been performed according to the ISO 62 standard. The specimens have been immersed in a water bath filled with the distilled water (40 °C) in
the period of 8 weeks. The Kevlar/PVB specimens have been tested in accordance
with the ASTM D 3039 standard for the tensile properties and the ASTM D 790–
03 standard for the flexural properties. The tensile and bending characteristics of
the dry specimens have been compared with the ones that had undergone the water
immersion.

abstract = "The Kevlar fabric composites have a wide range of applications in the
body armor and lightweight vehicle-armor structures. Nanoparticles are one of the
most common nanofillers for these structures. In this research, the testing specimens have been made from the Kevlar fabrics impregnated with the poly (vinyl
butyral)/ethanol solution which had been reinforced with the ZnO nanoparticles.
The two-layered composite samples have been fabricated by means of hot compression. The immersion of the square Kevlar/PVB specimens for the water uptake
measurements has been performed according to the ISO 62 standard. The specimens have been immersed in a water bath filled with the distilled water (40 °C) in
the period of 8 weeks. The Kevlar/PVB specimens have been tested in accordance
with the ASTM D 3039 standard for the tensile properties and the ASTM D 790–
03 standard for the flexural properties. The tensile and bending characteristics of
the dry specimens have been compared with the ones that had undergone the water
immersion.",

AB  - In this study, a new product was evaluated: enriched dark chocolate with two encapsulated plant extracts: Salvia Lavandiulaefolia and Salvia officinalis with the addition of fruit extract Malpighia glabra (acerola). Physico-chemical characteristics, antioxidant, and sensory properties of chocolate with extracts (AC300, AC400, and AC500) were determined in relation to chocolate without additives (DC). The analysis showed that according to the hardness, enthalpy, and sensory analysis, AC 400 chocolate (sample with 36.34 g of dark chocolate, 0.256 g Acerola extract, and 0.4 g Cognivia™ extract) had the best characteristics, while the rheology and particle size distribution was almost identical in all three samples of functional chocolates. A small amount of extracts did not cause changes in the structure of chocolate, but it significantly improved the polyphenolic status of chocolate and antioxidant activity. The results of the antioxidant activity tests showed that the best sample was AC 500 (sample with 36.24 g of dark chocolate, 0.256 g Acerola extract, and 0.5 g Cognivia™ extract), in which the total polyphenol content was the highest, as well as a level of compounds that inhibit AChE activity.

AB  - This paper outlines a novel simple protocol for tuning the structure and properties of jute using sodium periodate (NaIO4) oxidation and coating with alginate. When compared to the raw jute, fabrics oxidized with a 0.2 or 0.4 % NaIO4 solution for 30–120 min exhibited an increased aldehyde group content (0.185 vs. 0.239–0.398 mmol/g), a significantly increased negative zeta potential (from − 8.57 down to − 20.12 mV), a slight disruption of fiber crystallinity, 15.1–37.5 % and 27.9–49.8 % lower fabric maximum force and stiffness, respectively. Owing to the removal of hydrophobic surface barrier, decreased crystallinity index and the presence of micropores on the
fabrics' surfaces, oxidized fabrics have a 22.3–29.6 % improved ability for moisture sorption compared to raw fabric. Oxidized fabrics characterized by very long wetting times and excellent antioxidant activities (> 98 %), can find applications as hydrophobic packaging materials. To further extend the utilization of jute in biocarpet engineering such as water-binding geo-prebiotic supports, oxidized fabrics were coated with alginate resulting in 7.9–24.9 % higher moisture sorption and 352–660 times lower wetting times than their oxidized counterparts. This modification protocol has never been applied to lignocellulosic fibers and sheds new light on obtaining jute fabrics with tuned structure and properties intended for various applications.

AB  - This study present estimation of the thermodynamic parameters and the influence of ionic activity coefficient on the thermodynamic equilibrium constant of adsorption of phosphates on fly ash. The adsorption was conducted over a wide range of initial phosphate concentrations at different pH values pH = (3; 7; 10). The adsorption results were treated using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips adsorption isotherms, which provide information about the maximum adsorption capacity. The Langmuir and Sips isotherms were a satisfactory fit to the adsorption data, especially at pH = 3, with an acceptable regression coefficient over the entire concentration range, Langmuir (r2 = 0.9737) and Sips (r2 = 0.9969). The estimated maximum phosphate sorption capacity of fly ash was 6.21 ± 0.68 (mmol·g−1) according to Langmuir and 4.19 ± 0.16 (mmol·g−1) according to the Sips model, at pH = 3.0. However, there is no data in the published literature for estimating the thermodynamic parameters of the phosphate adsorption process using thermodynamic models for activity coefficients. Novel approach of this paper was determination of the thermodynamic equilibrium constant and Gibbs free energy, using the Pitzer ion-interaction model to predict the nature of adsorption. The Pitzer-ion interaction model was used for the mixed ionic systems, taking into consideration the effect of other present ions besides phosphates in the equilibrium solution resulting from fly ash desorption. The procedure for comprehensive estimation of the ion activity coefficient at maximum adsorption capacity and the dimensionless thermodynamic equilibrium constant using Langmuir's and Sips's constants was presented. The calculated value of the phosphate activity coefficient in the equilibrium solution was γH = 0.7003 ± 0.0027 and the converted molar activity coefficient was γH = 0.6903 ± 0.0027. The estimated values of Gibbs free energy were: ΔGL = −6.788 ± 0.521 kJ·mol−1 based on Langmuir equilibrium constant and ΔGa = −7.707 ± 0.527 kJ·mol−1 based on activity and thermodynamic equilibrium constant. According to Sips model, the adsorption process is even more spontaneous, with the Gibbs free energy calculated using the phosphate activity coefficient and the thermodynamic equilibrium constant, ΔGa = −9.707 ± 0.617 kJ·mol−1. Consideration of the ionic activity coefficient is particularly important for large, charged adsorbates at higher concentrations, as the absolute difference in free energy for adsorption is app. 12 %. The scientific contribution is reflected in obtaining the necessary and more accurate information for the improvement of adsorption processes and possibly for the upgrading of fly ash in overall wastewater treatment technology.

AB  - Kevlar fibers are widely used for industrial and military purposes due to their remarkable mechanical properties, such as their high tenacity and high strength-to-weight ratio. In this study, two-layered Kevlar composite specimens were impregnated with 10 wt.% poly (vinyl butyral)/ethanol solution which contained TiO2 nanoparticles as reinforcement. The concentrations of the nanoparticles were 1 wt.% or 2 wt.% with respect to the poly (vinyl butyral), PVB. The single-axial tensile test and three-point bending test of the Kevlar/PVB composites have been performed according to the ASTM D 3039 and ASTM D 790-03 standards, respectively. The tensile and bending properties of the dry and wet Kevlar/PVB composite specimens after a 56-day immersion are examined in this work. Upon the addition of the 2 wt.% TiO2 nanoparticles, the tensile strength and modulus of the dry specimens without reinforcement were increased by 39.8% and 24.3%, respectively. All the submerged specimens’ tensile and flexural property values were lower than those of the dry specimens. After comparing the wet composite specimens to their dry counterparts, the percentage decrease in tensile strength was approximately 20%. The wet Kevlar/PVB specimens with no TiO2 reinforcement showed the greatest reduction in bending strength, 61.4% less than for the dry Kevlar/PVB specimens, due to the degradation of the PVB matrix. In addition, a numerical simulation of the three-point bending test was carried out in Abaqus.

AB  - Spatial and temporal variability of Copepoda was studied at four stations in the Bay of Boka Kotorska and five stations in the open waters of the South Adriatic Sea in 2008. The research area included three sectors differing in geographical and hydrological conditions: The Bay of Boka Kotorska, the estuary of the Bojana river (both with the typical neritic Copepod fauna), and offshore waters of South Adriatic Sea (with the pelagic species). Four species from the genus Centropages Kröyer, 1849 were registered: C. typicus Kröyer, 1849, C. kröyeri Giesbrecht, 1893, C. violaceus (Claus, 1863) and C. ponticus Karavaev, 1895. Only one of the species, C. typicus, was encountered at all nine stations. By examining the seasonal distribution and abundance of  specimens, as well as the ecological properties of the researched area, we observed particular behavioural pattern in distribution and abundance of certain species that had not been described previously. The conclusion is that the seasonal differences in the horizontal distribution are associated with the dynamics of the hydrographic conditions of the South Adriatic Sea. Significant relationships have been reported between C. kröyeri abundance and the temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration, and C. typicus abundance and pH factor.
AB  - Répartition spatio-temporelle des copépodes calanoïdes du genre Centropages en relation avec
les facteurs environnementaux dans le sud de la mer Adriatique (NE Méditerranée). La variabilité spatiale et temporelle des copépodes a été étudiée dans quatre stations de la baie de Boka Kotorska et cinq stations dans les eaux du large de la mer Adriatique Sud en 2008. La zone de recherche comprenait trois secteurs présentant des conditions géographiques et hydrologiques différentes : la baie de Boka Kotorska, l’estuaire de la rivière Bojana (tous deux avec la faune typique des copépodes néritiques) et les eaux au large de la mer Adriatique du Sud (avec les espèces pélagiques). Quatre espèces du genre Centropages Kröyer, 1849 ont été enregistrées. C. typicus Kröyer, 1849, C. kröyeri Giesbrecht, 1893, C. violaceus (Claus, 1863) et C. ponticus Karavaev, 1895. Une seule de ces espèces, C. typicus, a été observée dans les neuf stations. En examinant la répartition saisonnière et l’abondance des spécimens, ainsi que les propriétés écologiques de la zone étudiée, nous avons observé un comportement particulier dans la répartition et l’abondance de certaines espèces qui n’avaient pas été décrites précédemment. La conclusion est que les différences saisonnières dans la distribution horizontale sont associées à la dynamique des conditions hydrographiques de la mer Adriatique Sud. Des relations significatives ont été enregistrées entre l’abondance de C. kröyeri et la température et la concentration d’oxygène dissous, et l’abondance de C. typicus et le pH.

The research area included three sectors differing in geographical and hydrological conditions: The Bay of Boka Kotorska, the estuary of the Bojana river (both with the typical neritic Copepod fauna), and offshore waters of South Adriatic Sea (with the pelagic species). Four species from the genus Centropages Kröyer, 1849 were registered: C. typicus Kröyer, 1849, C. kröyeri Giesbrecht, 1893, C. violaceus (Claus, 1863) and C. ponticus Karavaev, 1895. Only one of the species, C. typicus, was encountered at all nine stations. By examining the seasonal distribution and abundance of  specimens, as well as the ecological properties of the researched area, we observed particular behavioural pattern in distribution and abundance of certain species that had not been described previously. The conclusion is that the seasonal differences in the horizontal distribution are associated with the dynamics of the hydrographic conditions of the South Adriatic Sea. Significant relationships have been reported between C. kröyeri abundance and the temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration, and C. typicus abundance and pH factor., Répartition spatio-temporelle des copépodes calanoïdes du genre Centropages en relation avec
les facteurs environnementaux dans le sud de la mer Adriatique (NE Méditerranée). La variabilité spatiale et temporelle des copépodes a été étudiée dans quatre stations de la baie de Boka Kotorska et cinq stations dans les eaux du large de la mer Adriatique Sud en 2008. La zone de recherche comprenait trois secteurs présentant des conditions géographiques et hydrologiques différentes : la baie de Boka Kotorska, l’estuaire de la rivière Bojana (tous deux avec la faune typique des copépodes néritiques) et les eaux au large de la mer Adriatique du Sud (avec les espèces pélagiques). Quatre espèces du genre Centropages Kröyer, 1849 ont été enregistrées. C. typicus Kröyer, 1849, C. kröyeri Giesbrecht, 1893, C. violaceus (Claus, 1863) et C. ponticus Karavaev, 1895. Une seule de ces espèces, C. typicus, a été observée dans les neuf stations. En examinant la répartition saisonnière et l’abondance des spécimens, ainsi que les propriétés écologiques de la zone étudiée, nous avons observé un comportement particulier dans la répartition et l’abondance de certaines espèces qui n’avaient pas été décrites précédemment. La conclusion est que les différences saisonnières dans la distribution horizontale sont associées à la dynamique des conditions hydrographiques de la mer Adriatique Sud. Des relations significatives ont été enregistrées entre l’abondance de C. kröyeri et la température et la concentration d’oxygène dissous, et l’abondance de C. typicus et le pH.",

AB  - This paper investigates the feasibility of using diethyl adipate (DEA), a green organic solvent, as a separation agent for extracting various alcohols from aqueous solutions. In order to achieve this, liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE) experiments were carried out for four ternary systems: {water + methanol + DEA}, {water + ethanol + DEA}, {water + 1-propanol + DEA}, and {water + 2-propanol + DEA} at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. LLE experiments involve determination of certain thermodynamic data such as binodal curves and cloud-point data. Binodal curve data were determined by the cloud-point method using the titration technique, while the tie-line data were determined by optimizing the parameters based on the experimental measurements of the refractive index. Additionally, the distribution coefficients and the separation factors were calculated within the immiscibility region. Hand and Othmer-Tobias correlations were used to examine the reliability of the tie-line data. Also, the experimental ternary LLE data were correlated using the UNIversal QUAsiChemical (UNIQUAC) activity coefficient models. The results confirm that that DEA is a suitable choice for extracting methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol from water. The potential of DEA as a separation agent followed the sequence methanol < ethanol < 2-propanol < 1-propanol. UNIQUAC model proved to be effective in correlating the LLE data.

AB  - In this work, we present a two-phase electro-magneto-fluid dynamics (EMFD) model that merges electromagnetics and fluid dynamics. The model is suitable for use in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and was incorporated into OpenFOAM® after deriving appropriate equations that bypassed certain limitations of the software. Currently, there is lack of even single-phase EMFD models that can be incorporated into CFD software; however, simpler models from electrohydrodynamics (EHD) and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are being implemented although they have certain approximations that can limit their applicability. We conclude that the derived EMFD model is applicable, and show its quality by implementing it and analyzing the results. We use cases with a droplet and the electrospinning process for verification. The drop deformations obtained were closer to analytical predictions than in the literature for two EHD models, but some oscillations were observed. We compared one simulation to the prediction of an analytical equation from MHD, and good agreement was shown. Finally, we simulate the electrospinning process, and the results were very close to the analytical predictions. We conclude that the implementation can be used for both EHD and MHD cases.
