In the present work, we study the effects that aggregation of humic acids in seawater, and its adsorption to surfaces, can have on the determination of Cu and Pb accumulation by phytoplankton within the context of metal bioavailability studies, using the d ...
Parylene films loaded with TiO2 are reported as hotocatalysts in azo dye discoloration processes. The TiO2 loading of the parylene film was 0.32% (w/w) and the amount of TiO2 on the film was about two orders of magnitude below the TiO2 added in suspension ...
The present study examines the role of humic acid, as a representative of dissolved organic matter, in Cd(II), Cu(II) and Pb(II) speciation and biouptake by green microalgae. Cellular and intracellular metal fractions were compared in the presence of citri ...
The hydroxylated surface structures of seven morphologically important crystallographic surfaces of hematite were calculated allowing the determination of the surface energies and, consequently,the hematite equilibrium morphology. The docking of two organi ...
The 1-hexadecyl-3-vinylimidazolium bromide (hvimBr), a water-soluble long-chain imidazolium ionic liquid (IL) with surfactant properties, showed the ability to produce stable homogeneous aqueous dispersions of pristine Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs ...
Oil-in-water emulsions consist of oil droplets dispersed in an aqueous phase. Interfacial properties of the droplets determine the stability of emulsions. Even though this statement is widely accepted, a molecular level picture of the droplet interface is ...
Mn2+ complexes represent an alternative to Gd3+ chelates which are widely used contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. In this perspective, the authors studied the Mn2+ complexes of two 12-membered, pyridine-contg. macrocyclic ligands bearing one pe ...
The main aim of this study was to analyze dilute acid pretreatment for the Douglas fir wood in order to improve the efficiency of hydrolysis with an ultimate aim to produce bioethanol. Compositional analysis of the untreated Douglas fir biomass revealed th ...
We explored the effects of addition of the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 on the stability of aggregates of poly(ethylene glycol-bl-propylene sulfide) di- and triblock copolymers. Fluorescence spectra of pyrene, used as a probe molecule, elucidated the v ...
Odor perception may be considered from different perspectives: the physicochemical properties of odorants and target surfaces of interest, the biological aspects of electing odorant molecules by odorant receptors and their related downstream cellular signa ...
