Mercury removal by porous sulfur copolymers: adsorption isotherm and kinetics studies
(Elsevier, 2020)
Mercury is one of the most toxic, harmful element present in water that severely affects human health. Many traditional as well as advanced technologies were developed to remove mercury from wastewater. In this study, ...
Electrical resistivity of carbonaceous bed material at high temperature
(Springer Verlag, 2020)
This study reports the effect of high-temperature treatment on the electrical properties of charcoal, coal, and coke. The electrical resistivity of industrial charcoal samples used as a reducing agent in electric arc ...
Layer-by-layer nanocoating of antiviral polysaccharides on surfaces to prevent coronavirus infections
(MDPI, 2020)
In 2020, the world is being ravaged by the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes a severe
respiratory disease, Covid-19. Hundreds of thousands of people have succumbed to the disease.
Efforts at curing the disease are ...
Looking for an offshore low-level jet champion among recent reanalyses: a tight race over the Baltic Sea
(MDPI, 2020)
With an increasing interest in offshore wind energy, focus has been directed towards large
semi-enclosed basins such as the Baltic Sea as potential sites to set up wind turbines. The meteorology
of this inland sea in ...
Synthesis and evaluation of C3 substituted chalcone-based derivatives of 7-azaindole as protein kinase inhibitors
(Wiley, 2020)
Chalcones are a group of naturally occurring or synthetic compounds which possess a wide range of biological activities. In this paper, a series of twenty‐three 7‐azaindole‐chalcone hybrids (5a–w) were synthesized and ...
Anthelmintic potency of Rumex crispus L. extracts against Caenorhabditis elegans and non-targeted identification of the bioactive compounds
(Elsevier, 2021)
Traditional healers and ethnoveterinary therapists use several medicinal plants, such as Rumex crispus L., to treat endoparasite infections. R. crispus has been established by researchers to be effective agasint a few ...
On the detection potential of blazar flares for current neutrino telescopes
(IOP Publishers, 2020)
Blazar jets are extreme environments, in which relativistic proton interactions with an ultraviolet photon field could give rise to photopion production. High-confidence associations of individual high-energy neutrinos ...
A troglobitic species of the centipede cryptops (Chilopoda, scolopendromorpha) from Northwestern Botswana
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020)
A new species of Cryptops, C. (Cryptops) legagus sp. nov., occurs in caves in the Koanaka and Gcwihaba Hills in northwestern Botswana. Bayesian molecular phylogenetics using 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, 16S rRNA and cytochrome c ...
Substrate utilisation of cultured skeletal muscle cells in patients with CFS
(Nature, 2020)
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients often suffer from severe muscle pain and an inability to exercise due to muscle fatigue. It has previously been shown that CFS skeletal muscle cells have lower levels of ATP and have ...
Phylogeny and systematics of the Sesamia coniota Hampson species group (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Noctuinae: Apameini: Sesamiina), with the description of three new species from the Afrotropical region
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
In this study, we review six morphologically similar species of Sesamia Guenée, 1852 from Africa, including three new species that are described: Sesamia corymbosus Le Ru n. sp., S. schoenoplectus Le Ru n. sp. and S. ...
