Ozonation of drinking water results in the formation of low molecular weight (LMW) organic by-products. These compounds are easily utilisable by microorganisms and can result in biological instability of the water. In this study, we have combined a novel b ...
The accelerated programme of global privatization and deregulation in the provision of water and waste water services presents a minefield of issues for the industry professional. Setting the scene with a thorough introduction to water resource issues, "Wa ...
Continuing modifications of fuels like gasoline should include evaluations of the proposed constituents for their potential to damage environmental resources such as subsurface water supplies. Consequently, we developed a screening model to estimate well w ...
The herbicide transport and the groundwater vulnerability to pesticide contamination were studied in the alluvial aquifer of the Rhône River Valley near Martigny (Southwest Switzerland). The low clay and organic matter content of the soil, the intensive ag ...
This article describes BP86/SV(P) (DFT) calcns. on a representative set of weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) of type [M(L)n]-, their parent neutral Lewis acids M(L)n-1 and their ate complexes with fluoride, i.e., [FM(L)n]n-1 (M = B, L = F, OTeF5, C6H5, C6F ...
Ozone is an excellent disinfectant and can even be used to inactivate microorganisms such as protozoa which are very resistant to conventional disinfectants. Proper rate constants for the inactivation of microorganisms are only available for six species (E ...
We report here a simple method, based on electrostatic self-assembly, for realizing bead-based single protein micro-arrays. We generate positively charged surface micro-patterns on a glass substrate and use them as template for adsorbing negatively-charged ...
TiO2-photocatalysis disinfection experiments were carried out with both E. coli in distilled water and natural water samples from the Cauca River (Cali, Colombia). The experiments performed with E. coli in distilled water showed no increase in cell concent ...
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and HRTEM simulation by the Bloch wave method (JEMS) are used to determine the structure and thickness of micro- and nanocrystals of biominerals and hydroxyapatite grown from aqueous solutions. It is ...
We report here a simple method, based on electrostatic self-assembly, for realizing bead-based single protein microarrays. We generate positively-charged surface micro-patterns on a glass substrate and used them as the template for adsorbing negatively-cha ...
