Remaining strength of API J55 steel casing pipes damaged by corrosion
(International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping, 2020)
Experimental investigation of the integrity of casing pipes, used in the oil drilling rigs, withdrawn after about 70,000 h of service, has been conducted, together with numerical simulation. Pipes were manufactured by the ...
Viscoelastic properties of poly(e-caprolactone)/clay nanocomposites in solid and in melt state
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2016)
Viscoelastic properties in solid and in melt state of poly(epsilon-caprolactone), PCL, nanocomposites with organomodified clays (Cloisite30B and Cloisite15A) are thoroughly investigated. Although WAXD is insensitive to the ...
Efficient phytoremediation of uranium mine tailings by tobacco
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)
This investigation shows that tobacco plant roots and leaves accumulate 60 times more uranium than previously reported. Phytoremediation is a convenient technique to clean up polluted soils using herbaceous plants and ...
Oxidized Cotton as a Substrate for the Preparation of Hormone-Active Fibers-Characterization, Efficiency and Biocompatibility
(Korean Fiber Soc, Seoul, 2015)
Oxidized cellulose has a long history of safe and effective use in medical applications. In this paper, research has been directed towards obtaining hormone-active cellulose fibers in the form of an artificial insulin ...
Safe-by-design gelatin-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles
(Journal of Nanoparticle Research, 2021)
We report an innovative low-cost wet precipitation synthesis method for gelatin-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles (GM ZnO NPs) at the interface between the gelatin hydrogel and aqueous electrolyte. Diffusion of ammonia ...
Hydrochemical changes and groundwater grouping data by multivariate statistical methods within one karst system: recharge-discharge zone (Eastern Serbia case study)
(Springer, New York, 2020)
To define changes in hydrochemical composition from the recharge to the discharge zone of the complex Kucaj-Beljanica karst massif, located in eastern Serbia, on a quarterly basis within one hydrologic year, a physico-chemical ...
Evaluation of Electrochemical Process Improvement Using the Computer-Aided Nonlinear Frequency Response Method: Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Alkaline Media
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
The intensification of an electrochemical process by forced periodic operation was studied for the first time using the computer-aided Nonlinear Frequency Response method. This method enabled the automatic generation of ...
In vitro cytotoxicity assessment of intelligent acrylate based hydrogels with incorporated copper in wound management
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2016)
In order to evaluate biological response and potential toxicity prior to clinical use as wound dressing materials, three series of hydrogels, based on 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and itaconic acid (IA), unloaded, with ...
Experimental and theoretical consideration of the factors influencing cationic pollutants retention by seashell waste
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2018)
BACKGROUNDSeashell waste (SW) is rich in biogenic calcium carbonate and potentially can substitute geological sources in various applications, such as the separation of heavy metals and radionuclides from contaminated ...
Development and Validation of a Long-Term 3D Glioblastoma Cell Culture in Alginate Microfibers as a Novel Bio-Mimicking Model System for Preclinical Drug Testing
(Brain Sciences, 2021)
Background: Various three-dimensional (3D) glioblastoma cell culture models have a limited duration of viability. Our aim was to develop a long-term 3D glioblastoma model, which is necessary for reliable drug response ...
