Impact of plasma treatment on acoustic properties of natural cellulose materials
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2019)
Low-temperature plasma is widely used in many surface treatment technologies for modifications of the physical properties of different polymeric materials. In the present work, we have examined the modification of acoustical ...
Industrial steel waste as an iron source to promote heterogeneous and homogeneous oxidation/reduction reactions
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
This work examines the mill scale (MS) of hot rolling, a waste product formed in industrial steel processing. MS was evaluated as an iron source in promoting the oxidation of Reactive Red 120 azo dye in location-sourced ...
Application of whey protein and whey protein hydrolysate as protein based carrier for probiotic starter culture
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The main object of study is application of whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) for probiotic encapsulation. The controlled enzymatic hydrolysis was applied to change technological properties ...
Consolidated vs new advanced treatment methods for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern from urban wastewater
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2019)
Urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are among the main anthropogenic sources for the release of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) into the environment, which can result in toxic and adverse effects on aquatic ...
Long-time viscoelasticity of multicellular surfaces caused by collective cell migration - Multi-scale modeling considerations
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2019)
Long-time viscoelasticity of multicellular surfaces caused by collective cell migration depends on: (1) the volume fraction and configuration of migrating cells and the rate of its change, (2) the viscoelasticity of migrating ...
Rome Foundation Working Team Report on Post-Infection Irritable Bowel Syndrome
(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, Philadelphia, 2019)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The existence of postinfection irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS) has been substantiated by epidemiology studies conducted in diverse geographic and clinical settings. However, the available evidence has ...
Antibacterial ability of immobilized silver nanoparticles in agar-agar films co-doped with magnesium ions
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The antibacterial ability of in situ prepared nanometer-sized silver particles, immobilized in agar-agar films, was studied as a function of the concentration of co-dopant, magnesium ions. Content of inorganic components ...
In-depth quantitative profiling of post-translational modifications of Timothy grass pollen allergome in relation to environmental oxidative stress
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
An association between pollution (e.g., from traffic emissions) and the increased prevalence of respiratory allergies has been observed. Field-realistic exposure studies provide the most relevant assessment of the effects ...
Assembling Mesoscale-Structured Organic Interfaces in Perovskite Photovoltaics
(Wiley-VCH Verlag Gmbh, Weinheim, 2019)
Mesoscale-structured materials offer broad opportunities in extremely diverse applications owing to their high surface areas, tunable surface energy, and large pore volume. These benefits may improve the performance of ...
Mg/Cu co-substituted hydroxyapatite - Biocompatibility, mechanical properties and antimicrobial activity
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The aim of this study was to improve the mechanical properties and to optimize antimicrobial activity of hydroxyapatite (HAP) by simultaneous doping with Mg and Cu ions in order to obtain material that would be able to ...
