Anomalous surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) peaks are identified for liquid sample stored in polypropylene centrifuge tubes (PP tube) for months. We observed the unexpected Raman peaks during experiments for Thiamine Hydrochloride…
Tannery wastewater contains large amounts of pollutants that, if directly discharged into ecosystems, can generate an environmental hazard. The present investigation has focused the attention to the remediation of wastewater originated from…
Oily wastewater is an extensive source of pollution to soil and water, and its harmless treatment is of great importance for the protection of our aquatic ecosystems. Membrane filtration is highly desirable for removing oil from oily water…
A detailed study has been carried out on $\gamma^\prime$ (AlAg$_2$) precipitates in Al-Ag and Al-Ag-Cu alloys to reconcile the conflicting reports on chemical ordering and stacking faults in this phase. High angle annular dark field…
Scope: To study the effect of variation in dietary vitamin A (VA) content on its hepatic and intestinal metabolism. Methods and results: Adult female and male rats were fed with diets containing 400, 2300, or 9858 IU/kg VA for 31-33 weeks.…
Radiation chemistry of model systems irradiated with ultra-high dose-rates (UHDR) is key to obtain a mechanistic understanding of the sparing of healthy tissue, which is called the FLASH effect. It is envisioned to be used for efficient…
The contact of water with graphene is of fundamental importance and of great interest for numerous promising applications, but how graphene interacts with water remains unclear. Here we used atomic force microscopy to investigate…
Seagrass meadows contribute to the conservation of marine ecosystems, reduction in global warming impacts and pathogen controls. However, the decline in seagrass habitats due to environmental loads has become an urgent global issue. One way…
Cold atmospheric plasmas (CAP) are weakly ionized gases that can be generated in ambient air. They produce energetic species (e.g. electrons, metastables) as well as reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, UV radiations and…
The variations in feedstock characteristics such as moisture and particle size distribution lead to an inconsistent flow of feedstock from the biomass pre-processing system to the reactor in-feed system. These inconsistencies result in low…
Evolutionary algorithms for molecular design require computationally efficient yet accurate fitness functions. We systematically benchmark Hartree-Fock and density functional theory for predicting molecular first hyperpolarizability…
In this study, we investigate the effects of pre-germinative and post-germinative plasma treatments, applied separately or in combination, to improve maize germination and early seedling development. Pre-germinative treatment consists of…
Graphene-based nanostructures with distinct structural and physicochemical characteristics may be able to photodegrade antibiotics effectively. Herein, this study reports the successful synthesis of NiFe2O4/CeO2/GO nanocomposite (NC) by…
The improper disposal and mismanagement of medical waste pose severe environmental and public health risks, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and the spread of infectious diseases. Efficient and accurate medical waste classification…
Purpose: PFS is often used as a surrogate endpoint for OS in metastatic breast cancer studies. We have evaluated the association of treatment effect on PFS with significant HR$_{OS}$ (and how this association is affected by other factors)…
The collection of high-resolution training data is crucial in building robust plant disease diagnosis systems, since such data have a significant impact on diagnostic performance. However, they are very difficult to obtain and are not…
Resistance to chemotherapy and molecularly targeted therapies is a major factor in limiting the effectiveness of cancer treatment. In many cases, resistance can be linked to genetic changes in target proteins, either pre-existing or…
The integration of sonocatalysis with photocatalysis offers a powerful strategy for advanced wastewater treatment by overcoming rapid charge carrier recombination in conventional photocatalytic systems. Although these processes are often…
We discuss the extraction of alpha_s using isovector hadronic tau decay data and sum rules constructed specifically to suppress contributions associated with poorly known higher dimension condensates. We show, first, that problems with the…
Microorganisms have developed complex regulatory features controlling their reaction and internal adaptation to changing environments. When modeling these organisms we usually do not have full understanding of the regulation and rely on…
