In this work, we have developed a series of the new sulfopropylated amino polyethersulfone (SP-NH-PES)/poly [2,2ʹ-(m-pyrazolidene)-5,5ʹ-bibenzimidazole] (PPBI) blend and its nanocomposites with SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) for evaluation as ion-exchange membranes. At first, SP-NH-PES and PPBI were prepared separately and after characterization by ...

When synthesizing copper compounds containing polymeric adsorbents, it was found that the two copper oxides, Cu2O and CuO, deposited in the skeleton of a strongly basic macroreticular anion exchanger (An) radically diminished the porosity of the obtained composites in relation to the host material. In order to investigate this phenomenon more close...

We compared fast-growing and slow-growing broilers raised in extensive indoor, free-range, and traditional free-range systems in terms of meat quality in spring and summer. Five different semi-intensive broiler production applications (fast- in extensive indoor, slow- in extensive indoor, fast- in free-range, slow- in free-range and slow- in tradit...

A study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of West African Dwarf (WAD) goat keepers and their trait preferences as part of a broader phenotypic characterisation work with the aim of providing information for improving the household management, conservation and productivity of the breed in Ghana. A total of 384 respondent households were ...

The Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) represent five narratives of future development used for climate change research. They include quantified projections of socioeconomic variables such as population, income levels, inequalities, and emissions over the twenty-first century. The SSP’s population projections embody explicit, pathway-specific int...

Nanoparticles have gained importance in various biomedical field viz cosmetics, diagnostics, therapeutics, and food additives. Due to small size, NPs penetrate tissues and cells, thereby interacting with biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. This raises the major concern to investigate the effect of NPs in a living system. Previously, we...

Although it is known that the extrusion process significantly affects the cell morphology of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) foam, its effect on foam shrinkage, which is a critical problem in foam processing, has not yet been studied. Extrusion also significantly influences the thermomechanical properties and foaming behavior of TPUs. In this stud...

Increasing interest has recently been devoted to interlocking blocks/interfaces capable to enhance the sliding resistance of masonry joints to external forces. In this framework, this paper deals with the assessment of the torsion-shear capacity of the contact interface between the lock and the main body of an interlocking block, assumed to have a ...

Climate change poses a challenge to farming systems worldwide. However, existing research suggests that farmers and those providing outreach may have different climate change perspectives, and there is little understanding of how farmers prioritize climate change compared with other aspects of their farming system. To compare how farmers and outrea...

A visible light-responsive redox-mediator-free calcium indium sulfide (CaIn2S4) and bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6)–based direct dual semiconductor nanocomposites were prepared by combination of hydrothermal and wetness impregnation methods. The results substantiated the formation of CaIn2S4 marigold flowers, the flower-like structure of the Bi2WO6, and...
