Susceptibility of Enterovirus B strains to disinfectants and heat

The susceptibility of waterborne viruses to different inactivating treatments is acknowledged to vary between viruses and even between closely related strains, yet the extent of this variation, or the underlying mechanisms, are not known. Here, different e ...

Aerosols in an arid environment: The role of aerosol water content, particulate acidity, precursors, and relative humidity on secondary inorganic aerosols

Athanasios Nenes, Yi Wang, Hui Wang, Qianyu Zhao

Meteorological conditions, gas-phase precursors, and aerosol acidity (pH) can influence the formation of secondary inorganic aerosols (SIA) in fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Most works related to the influence of pH and gas-phase precursors on SIA have b ...

A new post-synthetic polymerization strategy makes metal-organic frameworks more stable

Wendy Lee Queen, Emad Oveisi, Daniel Teav Sun, Shuliang Yang, Li Peng, Mehrdad Asgari, Olga Trukhina, Safak Bulut, Abbas Jamali

Metal-organic frameworks are of interest in a number of host-guest applications. However, their weak coordination bonding often leads to instability in aqueous environments, particularly at extreme pH, and hence, is a challenging topic in the field. In thi ...

Synthesis and Characterization of a Water Stable Uranyl(V) Complex

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Radmila Faizova

We have identified a polydentate aminocarboxylate ligand that stabilizes uranyl(V) in water. The mononuclear [UO2(dpaea)]X, (dpaeaH2 = Bis(pyridyl-6-methyl-2-carboxylate)-ethylamine; X = CoCp2*+ or X = K(2.2.2.cryptand) complexes have been isolated from an ...

Effect of Ions and Admixtures on the Growth of Synthetic Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H)

Jirawan Siramanont

This thesis investigates the effect of different parameters such as Fe (III), D-gluconate and heterogeneous particles on the nucleation and growth of synthetic C-S-H by using the dropwise precipitation method. Firstly, the effect of Fe (III) on the synthet ...

Ozone and chlorine reactions with dissolved organic matter - Assessment of oxidant-reactive moieties by optical measurements and the electron donating capacities

Urs von Gunten

Oxidation processes are impacted by the type, concentration and reactivity of the dissolved organic matter (DOM). In this study, the reactions between various types of DOM (Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA), Nordic Reservoir NOM (NNOM) and Pony Lake fulvic ...

Impact of CO2 injection on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a clay-rich caprock

Lyesse Laloui, Valentina Favero

The safe storage of CO2 in deep reservoir units requires an efficient sealing of the overlaying caprock. The acidic environment caused by the dissolution of CO2 into the pore fluid can induce changes in the microstructure of the material over the long term ...

Probing renal pH using hyperpolarized [1-13C]alaninamide

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli

Hyperpolarized molecular probes can be effectively used as pH markers. To date, the only two probes reported in vivo as extracellular pH sensors are 13C-bicarbonate, and [1,5-13C2]zymonic acid. Alaninamide is a derivative of alanine which is found to be se ...

Characterization of aerosol composition, aerosol acidity, and organic acid partitioning at an agriculturally intensive rural southeastern US site

Athanasios Nenes, Yixing Chen, Hairun Guo

The implementation of stringent emission regulations has resulted in the decline of anthropogenic pollutants including sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NO x), and carbon monoxide (CO). In contrast, ammonia (NH3) emissions are largely unregulated, wit ...
