Non-carbon materials in capacitive deionization (CDI) can help to enhance the capacity of removed ions. Here, we report for the first time the removal of chloride ions (Cl-) with a bismuth (Bi) anode when coupled with an activated carbon (AC) cathode in CDI. The effects of carbon black in the Bi electrode, applied voltage, electrode mass loading an...

Protein kinases, the main regulators of a vast map of cellular processes, are the most attractive targets in drug discovery. Despite a few successful examples of protein kinase inhibitors, the drug discovery strategy of downregulating protein kinase activity has been quite limited and often fails even in animal models. Here, we utilize protein kina...

Background: Fully intrinsically disordered plant dehydrin ERD14 can protect enzymes via its chaperone-like activity, but it was not formally linked with enzymes of the plant redox system yet. This is of particular interest, as the level of H2O2 in Arabidopsis plants increases during osmotic stress, which can be counteracted by overexpression of ERD...
Pseudomonas species are metabolically robust, with capacity to produce secondary metabolites including cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs). Herein we conducted a chemical analysis of a crude CLP extract from the cocoyam rhizosphere-derived biocontrol strain Pseudomonas sp. COW3. We performed in silico analyses on its whole genome, and conducted in vitro ant...
In this work, cyclopropylamine (CPA) monomer was plasma-polymerized on poly (&epsilon / -caprolactone) nanofiber meshes using various deposition durations to obtain amine-rich surfaces in an effort to improve the cellular response of the meshes. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to investigate the sur...
A new approach was proposed for grouping separation of 14 lanthanide rare-earth ions from their coexisting mixed aqueous solutions, by performing liquid-column elution using the aqueous solution containing 14 lanthanide rare-earth ions as the stationary phase and the dispersed organic oil droplets containing P507 extractant as the mobile phase. It ...

Molasses-based fermentation produces a large amount of wastewater with high salinity and recalcitrant pigments, and thus alternative strategies to efficiently utilize molasses are required. In this study, the clarified molasses were treated by nonpolar resin adsorption to recover caramel pigments, and this operation also greatly alleviated fouling ...
