Synthesis of fluorine substituted hydroxyapatite nanopowders and application of the central composite design for determination of its antimicrobial effects
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Synthetic biomaterials based on fluorine substituted hydroxyapatite are potentially attractive for orthopedic and dental implant applications. The new synthesis of fluorine substituted hydroxyapatite samples were done by ...
The microbial eukaryote Blastocystis is a prevalent and diverse member of the healthy human gut microbiota
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2014)
To date, the majority of research into the human gut microbiota has focused on the bacterial fraction of the community. Inevitably, this has resulted in a poor understanding of the diversity and functionality of other ...
Influence of the Thermomechanical Treatment on the Intergranular Corrosion Susceptibility of Zn-Modified Al-5.1 Wt Pct Mg-0.7 Wt Pct Mn Alloy Sheet
(Springer, New York, 2014)
In this study, the effect of thermomechanical treatment on intergranular corrosion (IGC) susceptibility of the Zn-modified Al-5.1 wt pct Mg-0.7 wt pct Mn alloy plates was investigated. The specimens underwent varied amounts ...
Characterization of silver/polystyrene nanocomposites prepared by in situ bulk radical polymerization
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Nanocomposites (NCs) with different content of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) embeded in polystyrene (PS) matrix were prepared by in situ bulk radical polymerization. The nearly monodisperse Ag NPs protected with oleylamine ...
Modeling analysis of the lipid bilayer-cytoskeleton coupling in erythrocyte membrane
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2014)
Studies of thermal fluctuations in discocytes, echinocytes, and spherocytes suggest that the coupling between lipid bilayer and cytoskeleton can affect viscoelastic behavior of single erythrocyte membranes. To test this ...
Hydrodynamic modeling of downward gas-solid flow. Part II: Co-current flow
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
The one-dimensional model of accelerating turbulent downward co-current gas-solid flow of coarse particles was formulated and experimentally verified by measuring the pressure distribution along the transport tube. The ...
On the role of aniline oligomers on the corrosion protection of mild steel
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2014)
Corrosion of the mild steel electrode with electrochemically formed aniline oligomers coating in 3% NaCl has been investigated by the means of electrochemical techniques and UV-vis spectroscopy. It has been shown that ...
Antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility of Ag--(+) and Cu2+ -doped biphasic hydroxyapatite/alpha-tricalcium phosphate obtained from hydrothermally synthesized Ag+- and Cu2+ -doped hydroxyapatite
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders doped with Ag+ or Cu2+ were synthesized by a hydrothermal method in order to obtain biomaterial with an antimicrobial effect. The synthesis was performed with two contents of dopant (Ag+ or ...
Visible light-harvesting of TiO2 nanotubes array by pulsed laser deposited CdS
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes arrays, obtained by anodization technique and annealing, were decorated with CdS using pulsed laser deposition method. Their structural, morphological and chemical characterization was ...
Immobilization of lipase on epoxy-activated Purolite((R)) A109 and its post-immobilization stabilization
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this study, Purolite (R) A109, polystyrenic macroporous resin, was used as immobilization support due to its good mechanical properties and high particle diameter (400 mu m), which enables efficient application in enzyme ...
