The low efficiency of commercially-used reverse osmosis (RO) membranes has been the main obstacle in seawater desalination application. Here, we report the auspicious performance, through molecular dynamics simulations, of a seawater…
Treatment effects vary across different patients and estimation of this variability is important for clinical decisions. The aim is to develop a model to estimate the benefit of alternative treatment options for individual patients. Hence,…
The biofilms response on active attachment surfaces (submerged plant leaves) and inert attachment surfaces (biomimetic plant glass attachment surfaces) and their effects on PAHs and nitrogen transformation under the application conditions…
Biological processes like the sequestration of Superoxide Dismutase 1 (SOD1) into biomolecular condensates such as FUS and stress granules are essential to understanding disease mechanisms, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Our…
The self-organized pattern (SOP) phenomenon is prevalent in plasma, while knowledge about SOP discharge affecting reactive species generated plasma-activated media (PAM) for cancer therapy is poorly documented. The aim of this study focused…
Emerging contaminants (ECs) have come out as the latest class of environmental contaminants, which are highly recalcitrant and toxic in nature. Currently, no suitable rectification methods are available against the ECs, resulting in a…
In the resource allocation problem (RAP), the goal is to divide a given amount of resource over a set of activities while minimizing the cost of this allocation and possibly satisfying constraints on allocations to subsets of the…
The reactive uptake of carbonyl-containing volatile organic compounds (cVOCs) by aqueous atmospheric aerosols is a likely source of particulate organic material. The aqueous-phase secondary organic products of some cVOCs are surface-active.…
Hydrogen loss from a-SiNx:H films under irradiation with 100 MeV Ag7+ ions using elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) experiments is reported. The results are explained under the basic assumptions of the molecular recombination model.…
We develop a model that captures the dominant chemical mechanisms involved in the removal of fluoride from water by a novel adsorbent comprising mineral rich carbon (MRC) and chemically treated mineral rich carbon (TMRC). Working with…
Conventional methods for water pollutant detection, such as chemical assays and optical spectroscopy, are often invasive, expensive, and unsuitable for real-time, portable monitoring. In this paper, we introduce VibraWave, a novel…
RATIONALE: The investigation of cryogenic planetary environments as potential harbors for extant life and/or contemporary sites of organic synthesis represents an emerging focal point in planetary exploration. Next generation instruments…
This work reports the efficient degradation and mineralization of benzophenone-4 (BP-4), a widely used UV filter associated with endocrine-disrupting effects, via the electro-Fenton process. Key operating parameters including pH, current…
Whenever a person hears about pollution, more often than not, the first thought that comes to their mind is air pollution. One of the most under-mentioned and under-discussed pollution globally is that caused by the non-biodegradable waste…
Radiation Therapy (RT) plays a pivotal role in the treatment of cancer, offering the potential to effectively target and eliminate tumour cells while minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissues. However, the success of RT heavily depends…
Early endolysosomal and autophagic defects are among the earliest cellular alterations observed in Alzheimers disease (AD), yet the molecular drivers linking amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism to vesicle trafficking dysfunction…
Harvesting organic matter from wastewater is widely applied to maximize energy recovery; however, it limits the applicability of secondary treatment for acceptable effluent discharge into surface water bodies. To turn this bottleneck issue…
Anaerobic digestion (AD) offers a sustainable biotechnology to recover resources from carbon-rich wastewater, such as food-processing wastewater. Despite crude wastewater characterisation, the impact of detailed chemical fingerprinting on…
We report on the near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy of hybrid organic-inorganic resists. These materials are nonchemically amplified systems based on Si, Zr, and Ti oxides, synthesized from organically modified…
Chemical plant design and optimisation have proven challenging due to the complexity of these real-world systems. The resulting complexity translates into high computational costs for these systems' mathematical formulations and simulation…
