TEMPO-oxidized cotton as a substrate for trypsin immobilization: impact of functional groups on proteolytic activity and stability
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2017)
Cotton fibers containing different amounts of aldehyde and carboxyl groups were prepared by varying TEMPO oxidation conditions and then employed as carriers for trypsin immobilization. Depending on the functional group ...
Biodegradation of cotton and cotton/polyester with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by standard test method ASTM 5988-03 based on determination ...
Oxidized pentacene micro-rods obtained by thermal annealing of pentacene thin films in air
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Prolonged annealing of pentacene thin films in air leads to the formation of nano- and micro-scale rod-shaped structures at temperatures equal to or higher than 130 degrees C. Scanning electron microscopy measurements ...
Influence of the synthesis parameters on the properties of the sepiolite-based magnetic adsorbents
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
The magnetic nanocomposites (MNCs), used as adsorbents for Cd2+ ions, were prepared by a co-precipitation method using both the untreated natural (SEP) and the partially acid-activated (ASEP) sepiolites as supports for ...
Combustion of Metallurgical Wastes Using Secondary Aluminum Foils
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2017)
Simulating the reactions in a complex system can lead to self-sustaining and energy efficient treatment of wastes in recycling promoting manner. In this contribution, the synergic combination of electric arc furnace dust ...
Re-formation of metastable epsilon-Fe2O3 in post-annealing of Fe2O3/SiO2 nanostructure: Synthesis, computational particle shape analysis in micrographs and magnetic properties
(Ceramics International, 2017)
Several Fe2O3/SiO2 nanostructures were synthesized by the combination of the microemulsion and a sol-gel methods. Based on X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and magnetic measurements (giant coercivity similar to 2.13 T) we ...
Development of low calorie jams with increased content of natural dietary fibre made from tomato pomace
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study, four jam formulations were developed, starting with the basic formulation (Jam 1) containing sucrose and without added pectin. Sucrose was partially (50%) replaced by stevioside in formulations of Jam 2 and ...
Optimization of Active Carbonaceous Material Obtained by Low Hydrothermal Carbonization of Plane Tree Seed with H3PO4
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Durnten-Zurich, 2017)
Activated carbons (ACs) were successfully prepared using plane tree seed (PTS) as a cheap and renewable raw material. The plane tree seeds were firstly treated combining magnetic (MM) and ultrasonic mixing (USM) during ...
Advances in mathematical modeling of supercritical extraction processes
(Mathematical Research Summaries, 2017)
A new trend in mathematical modeling of supercritical extraction process from plant material is presented. The most of the previously published models considered properties of the fixed bed of plant material during the ...
Prediction of nitrogen oxides emissions at the national level based on optimized artificial neural network model
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2017)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions into the atmosphere have multiple negative effects on the environment and effects directly and indirectly on human health. This paper describes the development of a model for NO (x) emission ...
