Cavitation resistance of the material PA 3200 GF produced by selective laser sintering
(International Institute for the Science of Sintering (IISS), 2023)
The present study focuses on the results of cavitation resistance research of samples obtained by the Selective Laser Sintering technology. The samples were made from polyamide powder reinforced with glass beads – PA 3200 ...
The Impact of Ca2+ on Intracellular Distribution of Hemoglobin in Human Erythrocytes
(MDPI AG, 2023)
The membrane-bound hemoglobin (Hb) fraction impacts red blood cell (RBC) rheology and metabolism. Therefore, Hb–RBC membrane interactions are precisely controlled. For instance, the signaling function of membrane-bound ...
Accumulation of heavy metal(loid)s and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the sediment of the Prahovo Port (Danube) and associated risks
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023)
The current study investigated the concentrations, possible sources, toxicity, and ecological risk of eight heavy metal(loid)s (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn) and sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ...
Assessment of Life Quality in Children with Dysphonia Using Modified Pediatric Voice-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire in Serbia
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: Hoarseness is not uncommon in children, especially at school age, as communication with peers is intensified. It is caused by improper use or overuse of the vocal apparatus. (2) Methods: The study included 85 ...
Biomedical Applications of Thermosensitive Hydrogels for Controlled/Modulated Piroxicam Delivery
(MDPI, 2023)
The objectives of this study are the synthesis of thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate), p(NiPAm-HPMet), hydrogels and the analysis of a drug-delivery system based on piroxicam, as a ...
Dynamic light scattering analysis of immune complexes in sera of rheumatoid arthritis patients
(Academic Press Inc., 2023)
The size of circulating immune complexes (CICs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) could be an emerging criterion in disease diagnosis. This study analyzed size and electrokinetic potential of CICs from RA patients, healthy young ...
Possibility of using ionizing radiation treated sludge from drinking water treatment plant as fertilizer in agriculture: Effects of aging
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
Using ionizing radiation in treating waste sludge from a drinking water treatment plant is a well-known technique. Sludge treated with ionizing radiation can be used as fertilizer in agriculture. In this paper, the effects ...
Sterilized plum pomace biochar as a low-cost effective sorbent of environmental contaminants
(Journal of Water Process Engineering, 2023)
The removal of environmental pollutants is significant because of their harmful effects on living organisms. Biochar is favorable as a natural adsorbent of environmental pollutants due to its advantages, such as environmental ...
Cascade luminescence and antibacterial behavior of fluorapatite nanopowder co-doped with Pr3+, NO3− and CO32− ions
(Springer, 2023)
In this study, luminescence and antibacterial behavior of pure fluorapatite (FAp) and praseodymium-nitrate-carbonate co-doped fluorapatite (PrNCFAp) nanopowders were investigated. Uniform nanopowders were synthesized by ...
