• Organic matter from VFCW's sludge deposits is less soluble after aging. Truly dissolved organics (<3kDa) are leached under acidic conditions. Larger colloids (>3 kDa) alkaline around neutrality very aromatic. Leached all poorly aromatic regardless of pH and molecular size. The rapid development vertical flow constructed wetlands (VFCW) in Europe throughout the world has induced a growing conc...

Three methods (using GM3 quantities ranging from a few milligrams to grams) have been developed to prepare, in high yield, the three derivatives of ganglioside GM3 [alpha-Neu5Ac-(2-3)-beta-Gal-(1-4)-beta-Glc-(1-1)-ceramide]: deacetyl-GM3 [alpha-Neu-(2-3)-beta-Gal-(1-4)-beta-Glc-(1-1)-ceramide], lyso-GM3 [alpha-Neu5Ac-(2-3)-beta-Gal-(1-4)-beta-Glc-(1-1)-sphingosine], and deacetyl-lyso-GM3 [alpha...

We screened a small molecular library that was designed and independently synthesized in vitro and found a new drug (MY-03-01) that is active against ovarian cancer. We established that MY-03-01 effectively inhibited SKOV-3 cell survival in a dose-dependent manner, based on cell viability rates, and that it not only induced SKOV-3 apoptosis by itself, but also did so synergistically with paclit...

Egg whites can undergo gelation at extreme pH. In this paper, the effects of NaOH concentration (1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3%), temperature (10, 20, 30, and 40°C), and additives (metallic compounds, carbohydrates, stabilizers, and coagulants) on the strength of alkaline-induced egg white gel were investigated. Results showed that NaOH concentration and induced temperature significantly affected the rate...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) was reacted with coal fly ash in a 24 hour equilibration time using 3:1 and 1.5:1 AMD: FA ratios by weight to produce neutral and alkaline process waters and remove major and minor elements from solution. The elemental concentration trends with time in the solution were used to discern which elements have solubility control in the neutralization process. The resulting c...

Tinplate cans were used to study if electro-activated brine solution (EAS) is more corrosive than conventional one by ICP analysis. The results showed different effects of EAS on cans, alone or filled with product. Acidic EAS (pH 2-3) and Redox +900 to +1200 mV highly reacted with the cans. The concentrations of Zn, Fe, and Cu in the solution were 0.028, 28.81, and 0.022 ppm, respectively. No S...

a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the bes...

Sol-gel and polymeric membrane electrodes, based on thiacalix[4]arene as a neutral carrier, weresuccessfully developed for the detection of VO2+ in aqueous solutions. The sol-gel and PVCmembrane electrodes exhibited linear response with Nernstian slopes of 29.3 and 28.4 mV perdecade, respectively, within the vanadyl ion concentration ranges from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1mol dm-3 and from 1.0 × 1...

Abstract A pilot study investigating the possible role of desferrioxamine B (DFOB) to prevent U VI precipitation in alkaline NaCl solutions was carried out. Desferrioxamine is a hydroxamate siderophore occurring naturally environment. The can possibly mobilize from wide range sources such as mine tailings, contaminated land and radioactive waste storage disposal facilities. results series batch...

We report cuboctahedral Pd nanoparticles on WC synthesized by the polyol process using ethylene glycol with NO(3)(-) and Fe(3+)/Fe(2+) ions. The cuboctahedral Pd/WC shows much improved electrocatalytic activity for methanol electrooxidation in alkaline solution.
