We employ the intake fraction (iF) as an effective tool for expressing the source-to-intake relationship for pollutant emissions in life cycle analysis (LCA) or comparative risk assessment. Intake fraction is the fraction of chemical mass emitted into the ...
The relationship between lead speciation and its bioaccumulation by the alga Chlorella vulgaris was studied in the absence and presence of nitrilotriacetic, iminodiacetic, malonic, and citric acids. Pb uptake fluxes were rigorously analyzed by considering ...
Fiber catalysts are easy to handle and free of mass-transfer resistance. This report is the first application of cloth catalysts to water denitrification. In this work, cloths woven from glass fibers (GF) of 7–10 mm in diameter, impregnated with Pd, were t ...
The Bases of Chemical Thermodynamics: Volume 2 In this volume (volume 2), the tools necessary to study and understand systems in which chemical reactions can take place are developed. The variables of reaction are the keys to this understanding. Criteria f ...
In the present work, several series with variation of deposition parameters such as hydrogen dilution ratio, VHF-power and plasma excitation frequency fexc have been extensively analyzed. Compared with `conventional' more-stable layers obtained at 200-250 ...
The anodic oxidn. of 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (CPA) on synthetic B-doped diamond thin film electrodes in acid media was studied, using cyclic voltammetry and bulk electrolysis. The results showed that in the potential region where the supporting electrol ...
Twelve analogues of diclofenac (1), a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug and known inhibitor of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid formation, were prepared and evaluated as TTR amyloid formation inhibitors. High activity was exhibited by five of the compounds. St ...
Combinatorial mutagenesis was used to investigate the role of three key residues in cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Arg48, Trp51, and Trp191, in control of the reactivity and selectivity of the heme-contg. enzyme. Libraries wer ...
The influence of hydrostatic pressure on the emission and absorption spectra measured for various types of InGaN structures (epilayers, quantum wells, and quantum dots) is studied. While the known pressure coefficients of the GaN and InN band gaps are abou ...
The Bases of Chemical Thermodynamics: Volume 1 In this volume (volume 1), the fundamental aspects of thermodynamics are presented. The first and second laws of thermodynamics are illustrated. The need to define thermodynamic temperature and the nature of e ...
