To improve implant biocompatibility, we developed a simple cost-effective thermal surface treatment allowing an increase in the oxide layer thickness of a titanium (Ti) alloy used in orthopaedic implants. The goal of this study was to test in vitro the rea ...
The incapability of conventional biological wastewater treatment to remove effectively biorecalcitrant and/or toxic pollutants, as well as the shortage of world water resources have promoted the research of more efficient and ecologically y friendly water ...
This study focuses on the mineralization of 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone (AMBI), an important precursor in the industrial production of dyes, through an integrated Fe(III) photoassisted–biological system without addition of other electron acceptor th ...
Implantation of Ni ions into pure aluminium shows the formation of amorphous zones (AZ). Measurements by energy dispersive spectrometry attribute to the amorphous zones at Ni concentration of 25 at.%. These amorphous regions are relatively stable under hea ...
After treatment with an appropriate base (butyllithium or sodium amide), 2-alkenyltris(2-methoxymethoxyphenyl)phosphonium salts carrying an allyl, crotyl, or prenyl (3-methyl-2-butenyl) side chain condense with satd. or unsatd. aldehydes to give conjugated ...
This paper discusses the influence of time horizon on dynamic optimization of small-size wastewater treatment plants alternating aerobic and anoxic processes. The optimization problem consists in determining the aeration policy (air-on and air-off periods) ...
This invention relates to oligonucleotide targeting agents and their use in the treatment of diseased cells by selective photochemotherapy (PCT). PCT is a method of treating human diseases and disorders, bacteriological indications and other pathological c ...
The database and information retrieval communities have long been recognized as being irreconcilable. Today, however, we witness a surprising convergence of the techniques used by both communities in decentralized, large-scale environments. The newly emerg ...
5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone (AMBI), used in the manufacture of dyes, was characterised as a biorecalcitrant compound by means of different biodegradability tests. In order to enhance the biodegradability of this important pollutant, the application ...
The conventional treatment for the cure of esophageal cancer is surgical resection. Esophageal cancer, when detected at an early stage, has a very good probability of being eradicated by less aggressive procedures, and photodynamic therapy has proven to be ...
