In the present work, the grain growth activation energy, Q was evaluated in a Mg-0.3Ce (wt. %) alloy after equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) processing via route Bc for 4 passes at 300 and 350 °C and followed by isochronal annealing at 150, 250, 350, and 450 °C for 2 h. The results demonstrated that Q depends strongly on the deformation process...

Biodegradation of 1,4-Dioxane at environmentally relevant concentrations usually requires the addition of a primary electron-donor substrate to sustain biomass growth. Ethane is a promising substrate, since it is available as a degradation product of 1,4-Dioxane's common co-contaminants. This study reports kinetic parameters for ethane biodegradati...
HypothesisThe addition of a non-solvent to a solute in good solvent solution leads to nanoprecipitation, which is the spontaneous formation of nanodomains. Yet, increasing solute concentration usually leads to the formation of macrodomains that quickly separate into a bulk phase, which is a severe process limitation. The corresponding concentration...
Positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands that bind with high-affinity to α4β2-type nicotinic receptors (α4β2Rs) allow for in vivo investigations of the mechanisms underlying nicotine addiction and smoking cessation. Here, we investigate the use of an image-derived arterial input function and the cerebellum for kinetic analysis of radioligand...

Indiscriminate use of oxytetracycline is linked to the development of antibiotic-resistant genes, posing a serious threat to human health and ecosystem balance. This article reports the adsorptive elimination of oxytetracycline (OTC) from aqueous solution using a newly developed MnO2-modified pine-cone biochar (MnO2/PCBC). The MnO2/PCBC was charact...

Most natural formate dehydrogenases (FDHs) exhibit NAD+ specificity, making it imperative to explore the engineering of FDH cofactor specificity for NADPH regeneration systems. The endogenous FDH of Komagataella phaffii (K. phaffii), termed KphFDH, is a typical NAD+-specific FDH. However, investigations into engineering the cofactor specificity of ...

Tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) is widely implemented as a wide-ranging antibacterial drug in medical care and animal husbandry, in spite of having negative effects on the environment and human health. Photocatalytic treatment is one of the popular techniques used to treat TC-HCl in wastewater. In this study, we have used CuFe2O4 and CuFe2O4/po...

Force-sensing treatment tables are becoming more commonly used by chiropractic educational institutions. However, when a table-embedded force platform is the sole measurement method, there is little information available about what force-time values instructors and students should expect for side-posture spinal manipulative thrusts. The purpose of ...
Micro - heterogeneous liquids are characterized by particular heterogeneous micro - structure, which contains labile bonded supra - molecular aggregates. Typical examples of such liquids are alcohols, ionic liquids and various soft - matter liquids. In addition to the usual molecular dynamics, common to all liquids, the dynamics of these systems is...
