Potential of Pleurotus ostreatus Mycelium for Selenium Absorption
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, New York, 2014)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high selenium (Se) concentrations on morphophysiological and ultrastructural properties of Pleurotus ostreatus. Mycelium growth was good in media enriched with 5.0, 10.0, ...
Ex-situ sensitization of ordered TiO2 nanotubes with CdS quantum dots
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Ordered titania nanotubes (pore diameter approximate to 90 nm and wall thickness approximate to 10 nm) were obtained by the anodization technique and used for the ex-situ deposition of cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS ...
Isopiestic determination of the osmotic and activity coefficients of the {yMg(NO3)(2) + (1-y)MgSO4}(aq) system at T=298.15 K
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2017)
Isopiestic (vapor pressure) measurements were made for aqueous mixtures of Mg(NO3)(2) and MgSO4 at T = (298.15 +/- 0.01) K with Mg(NO3)(2) ionic strength fractions y = (0.19691, 0.42542, 0.60113, 0.79583, and 1), along ...
Methacrylic Acid Based Polymer Networks with a High Content of Unfunctionalized Nanosilica: Particle Distribution, Swelling, and Rheological Properties
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2015)
The poor stability and tendency to agglomerate of unfunctionalized nano-SiO2 in the presence of ionic species presents a challenge for preparing poly(methacrylic acid)/nano-SiO2 nanocomposite (NC) hydrogels with desired ...
Photocatalytic activity of pulsed laser deposited TiO2 thin films in N-2, O-2 and CH4
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
We report on pulsed laser deposition of TiO2 films on glass substrates in oxygen, methane, nitrogen and mixture of oxygen and nitrogen atmosphere. The nitrogen incorporation into TiO2 lattice was successfully achieved, as ...
Influence of Trace Elements on Ligninolytic Enzyme Activity of Pleurotus ostreatus and P. pulmonarius
(North Carolina State Univ Dept Wood & Paper Sci, Raleigh, 2013)
Trace elements, at tolerable concentrations, are either part of the active site or act as an activity modulator of ligninolytic enzymes of white-rot mushrooms. They are usually in plant raw materials in a non-toxic amount ...
Antioxidant Protective Effects of Mushroom Metabolites
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2013)
Global industrialization and agricultural development are related to the release of various pollutants into the environment including huge amounts of free radicals, which are associated with the occurrence of various ...
Unique effects of microwave heating on polymerization kinetics of poly(methyl methacrylate) composites
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2013)
The effects of heating mode (conventional and microwave) on the kinetics of isothermal polymerization of MMA composite materials were investigated. Isothermal kinetics curves at temperature range from 343 K to 363 K for ...
Structure and magnetic properties of electrodeposited Ni87.3Fe11.3W1.4 alloy
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
A dark gray nanostructured coating of an alloy composed of 87.3 wt.% Ni, 11.3 wt.% Fe and 1.4 wt.% W (Ni87.3Fe11.3W1.4) was electrodeposited from an ammonia citrate bath on a titanium cathode at a current density of 500 ...
Removal of model cationic dye by adsorption onto poly(methacrylic acid)/zeolite hydrogel composites: Kinetics, equilibrium study and image analysis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
Composites based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and two types of zeolite, hydrophilic zeolite A and hydrophobic zeolite ZSM-5, were synthesized. The obtained hydrogel composites that combine well the strong interaction ...
