This work aimed to study the biodegradation dynamics of plasticized cellulose acetate samples (etrols) with different content of plasticizers. Isophthalic acid dimethyl ester and orthophosphoric acid tributyl ester were used as plasticizers. The targets of the study also included assessing the effect of the plasticizers' content on the degradation ...
Keratin is an insoluble fibrous protein from natural environments, which can be recycled to value-added products by keratinolytic microorganisms. A microbial consortium with efficient keratinolytic activity was previously enriched from soil, but the genetic basis behind its remarkable degradation properties was not investigated yet. To identify the...

The major challenge of Fenton and Fenton-like technologies is promoting the effective transformation of Fe3+ to Fe2+. Photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) enables charge to transfer effectively from the complex ligand to metal ions for the subsequent redox reactions. This study shows that photoactivated LMCTs relying on internal char...
Understanding the dynamic of land use/land cover (LULC) can assist relevant authorities in implementing them along with management options for natural forests like Desa' a forest in Northern Ethiopia. It is worth mentioning that no comprehensive study has been done so far on the overall change of LULC within the surrounding of Desa'a forest areas. ...
Batteries are multi-physical systems and during actual operating conditions they are submitted to variable ambient operating conditions which can affect the dynamic behavior and the degradation. Therefore, a good understanding of the dynamic behavior and the degradation laws under actual operating conditions is the key to a durability improvement a...

In Arabidopsis , the root clock regulates the spacing of lateral organs along the primary root through oscillating gene expression. The core molecular mechanism that drives the root clock periodicity and how it is modified by exogenous cues such as auxin and gravity remain unknown. We identified the key elements of the oscillator (AUXIN RESPONSE FA...
In this study, ultrafiltration (UF) pre-oxidation with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode was employed aiming to mitigate membrane fouling during algae-laden water treatment. It was found that BDD anodizing can efficiently alleviate membrane fouling regardless of the filtration membrane material when the oxidation time was over 30 min. This was ...
Owing to photocatalytic and antibacterial properties, bismuth based oxides has drawn much attention in recent past. However, non-recyclability of these oxides has restricted their practical applications. In present work, a novel nanostructured composite monoclinic bismuth [email protected] activated carbon fibers ([email protected]) photo catalyst was efficaciousl...
