Vegetable oils in textile finishing applications: the action mode of wrinkle-reduction sprays and means for analyzing their performance
(Sage Publications Ltd, London, 2014)
The effect of different aqueous emulsions of vegetable oils on the wrinkle recovery properties of 100% cotton fabric was investigated. Six vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, olive oil, coconut oil, safflower oil, linseed oil ...
Forecasting GHG emissions using an optimized artificial neural network model based on correlation and principal component analysis
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
The prediction of GHG emissions is very important due to their negative impacts on climate and global warming. The aim of this study was to develop a model for GHG forecasting emissions at the national level using a new ...
Photocatalytic Degradation of C. I. Acid Orange 7 by TiO2 Nanoparticles Immobilized onto/ into Chitosan- Based Hydrogel
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2014)
Photocatalytic degradation of dye C.I. Acid Orange 7 in aqueous solution using TiO2/hydrogel nanocomposite under solar light simulating source was studied. Hydrogel based on chitosan, itaconic and methacrylic acid was ...
Improved compressive strength of alkali activated slag upon heating
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
This paper presents a study on thermal stability of alkali activated slag (AAS) prepared from electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) using a mixture of alkaline sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solutions. The samples were ...
Effect of nutrient supplements on growth and viability of Lactobacillus johnsonii NRRL B-2178 in whey
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
The main objectives of the paper were to study the effects of nutrient supplementation of cows' whey on the growth and viability of the probiotic microorganism Lactobacillus johnsonii NRRL B-2178. Because of the short ...
Quality attributes of a fermented whey-based beverage enriched with milk and a probiotic strain
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)
Beverages produced by fermentation of whey have significantly lower viscosity, milder flavour and less viability of probiotic microorganisms compared to those obtained by fermentation of milk. Therefore, it is necessary ...
Optimization of microwave-assisted extraction of natural antioxidants from spent espresso coffee grounds by response surface methodology
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Espresso spent coffee grounds (SCG) that is a waste material abundantly produced by restaurants, cafeterias and in domestic environment could be used as a low-cost and rich source of valuable polyphenol compounds. The ...
Catalyzed Ester Synthesis Using Candida rugosa Lipase Entrapped by Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-itaconic Acid) Hydrogel
(Hindawi Publishing Corp, New York, 2014)
This study reports the synthesis of polymeric matrices based on N-isopropylacrylamide and itaconic acid and its application for immobilization of lipase from Candida rugosa. The lipase was immobilized by entrapment method. ...
The potential application of TiO2/hydrogel nanocomposite for removal of various textile azo dyes
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
TiO2/hydrogel nanocomposite has been utilized for investigation of photocatalytic degradation of three different groups of anionic azo dyes in aqueous solutions under solar light simulating source in order to evaluate its ...
Structural analysis, electronic and optical properties of the synthesized Sb2S3 nanowires with small band gap
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2014)
We report a simple colloidal synthesis of two types of Sb2S 3 nanowires with small band gap and high aspect ratio. Field-emission scanning electron and transmission electron microscopies confirmed formation of high aspect ...
