Simultaneous Adsorption and Reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) in Aqueous Solution Using Nitrogen-Rich Aminal Linked Porous Organic Polymers
(MDPI, 2021)
Two novel nitrogen-rich aminal linked porous organic polymers, NRAPOP-O and NRAPOP-S, have been prepared using a single step-one pot Schiff-base condensation reaction of 9,10-bis-(4,6-diamino-S-triazin-2-yl)benzene and ...
Physicochemical Characterization and Seasonal Variations of PM10 Aerosols in a Harsh Environment
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
We have conducted a comprehensive sampling campaign of PM₁₀ pollutants at a site next to a major highway, using standard protocols. Particulate matter (PM) total mass, elemental and chemical/mineral compositions of the ...
Towards Monitoring of Nutrient Pollution in Coastal Lake Using Remote Sensing and Regression Analysis
(MDPI, 2020)
The last few decades have witnessed a tremendous increase in nutrient levels (phosphorus and nitrogen) in coastal water leading to excessive algal growth (Eutrophication). The presence of large amounts of algae turns the ...
AEO‑7 surfactant is “super toxic” and induces severe cardiac, liver and locomotion damage in zebrafish embryos
(Springer Open, 2020)
Background: Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether-7 (AEO-7), a non-ionic surfactant, has recently been receiving extensive attention from the ocean pipeline industry for its ability to inhibit corrosion. However, the present ...
Antibacterial Activities of Selected Pure Compounds Isolated from Gut Bacteria of Animals Living in Polluted Environments
(MDPI, 2020)
Antibiotic resistance is a global threat to public health, further accelerated by the misuse of antibiotics in humans and animals. Our recent studies have shown that gut bacteria of animals living in polluted environments ...
Freshwater budget in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf and exchanges at the Strait of Hormuz
(PLOS, 2020-05-29)
Excess evaporation within the Persian (also referred as the Arabian) Gulf induces an inverse-estuary circulation. Surface waters are imported, via the Strait of Hormuz, while saltier waters are exported in the deeper layers. ...
World Literature in the World? Kahf ’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf and the Transnational Reading Public
(BRILL, 2021)
Criticized for being too Euro- and Americentric, world literature scholarship tends to center on the American implications of this shortcoming, with little discussion of world literature beyond these centers. This paper ...
Whole Organism Model to Study Molecular Mechanisms of Differentiation and Dedifferentiation
(MDPI, 2020)
Cancer recurrence has remained a significant challenge, despite advances in therapeutic approaches. In part, this is due to our incomplete understanding of the biology of cancer stem cells and the underlying molecular ...
Scorpion and Frog Organ Lysates are Potential Source of Antitumour Activity
(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP), 2020)
It is noteworthy that several animal species are known to withstand high levels of radiation, and are exposed to heavy metals but rarely been reported to develop cancer. For example, the scorpion has been used as folk ...
Investigations of the Co-Pt alloy phase diagram with neutron diffuse scattering, inverse cluster variation method, and Monte Carlo simulations
(American Physical Society, 2020)
The short-range order in a CoPt alloy was determined at 1203 and 1423 K using neutron diffuse scattering measurements. The effective pair interactions provided by data analysis reproduce well the experimental order-disorder ...
