An analytical methodology based on asymmetric flow field flow fractionation hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (AF4-ICP-MS) has been developed for monitoring citrate coated platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) of different sizes (5, 30, and 50 nm) in water samples. Several factors have been optimized, such as carrier composition, ...

Knowledge of lithospheric strength can help to understand the internal structure and evolution of the terrestrial planets, as surface topography and gravity fields are controlled mainly by deformational features within the lithosphere. Here, strength profiles of lithosphere were calculated for each planet using a recently updated flow law and takin...

With the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic showing no signs of abating, resuming neglected tropical disease (NTD) activities, particularly mass drug administration (MDA), is vital. Failure to resume activities will not only enhance the risk of NTD transmission, but will fail to leverage behaviour change messaging on the importance of han...

In the current study, we deal with the crucial role of 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical and water in the mechanism of the conversion of l-lysine into l-β-lysine. The DFT (density functional theory)–B3LYP method coupled with 6-31G(d) basis set has been performed to investigate the optimized structures of transition states (TSs) and intermediates (IMs) of tw...

Electrocoagulation (EC) process is found as effective water and wastewater treatment method, as it can able to remove a variety of pollutants, treat various industrial wastewater, and able to handle fluctuations in pollutant quality and quantity. The performance of EC process can be improved significantly in combination with degradation processes. ...

The climate of Iraq is of the subtropical semi-dry type; however, the country was rich in water resources until a few decades ago. The climate change, the construction of many dams on the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the neighboring countries, wasting water, and mismanagement caused water shortages. Now, there is a need to decrease consumption, g...

Surface-water irrigation is one of the most important irrigation methods in areas with abundant surface water. Although this method of irrigation is both economical and convenient, many contaminants are also introduced into the soil-water systems such as organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs). To study the influence of surface-water irrigation on the d...

The present study focused on the occurrence, distribution and risk assessment of 32 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in water and sediment, as well as the surrounding soil of the irrigation channels and lake of a Mediterranean coastal wetland, the Albufera Natural Park (Valencia, Spain). Moreover, the influent and effluent of ten ...

Itis increasingly evident that approaching agricultural growth not taking the limits of ecosystems into consideration has reached critical levels of environmental impact and that costs of environmental service losses are no longer bearable (Ecosystems..., 2005; Kitzes et al., 2008). Agriculture can negatively affect the environmental balance by ine...

The effects of water content; 15, 30, and 40% (w/w), water droplet size; d43 15.0-19.6 µm (larger) and d43 1.2-2.7 µm (smaller), and sodium alginate (0.5%, w/w) induced water gelation on crystallization kinetics and water and fat proton relaxation were studied in water-in-milk fat emulsions during in situ cooling from 40 °C to 5 °C. Anhydrous milk ...
