It has only recently been discovered that naturally prevailing microorganisms have a notable role in flotation addition to chemical process parameters and overall water quality. This study’s aim was assess the microbial communities relation chemistry zinc copper mineral plant. Due limitations of cultivation-based methods detect fraction total diversity, DNA-based were utilised. However, it DNA ...

The nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) from the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is responsible for processing the non-structural region of the viral precursor polyprotein in infected hepatic cells. NS3 protease activity, located at the N-terminal domain, is a zinc-dependent serine protease. A zinc ion, required for the hydrolytic activity, has been considered as a structural metal ion essential for the stru...

Both cereal staples and household diets can be manipulated to enhance the content of micronutrients and/or alter the levels of absorption modifiers to improve micronutrient bioavailability. Strategies described range from plant breeding, use of fertilizers and genetic engineering to changes in food preparation and processing methods at the household level involving soaking, fermentation and ger...

In this study, defect-free zinc blende GaAs nanowires on Si (111) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth are systematically studied through Au-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method. The morphology, density, and crystal structure of GaAs nanowires were investigated as a function of substrate temperature, growth time, and As/Ga flux ratio during MBE growth, as well as the thickness, annealing ...

Copper oxide and Zinc (Zn)-doped nanostructures (CuO-NSs) are successfully synthesized by using a hydrothermal technique. The as-obtained pure Zn-doped CuO-NSs were tested to study the effect of doping in CuO on structural, optical, antibacterial properties. band gap is calculated Tauc plot. Our results have shown that reduces with addition Zinc. Optimization processing conditions concentration...

Hydrophobicity on steel-based metallic surfaces provides an advantage in limiting corrosion and debris buildup the surface, thereby, improving substrate performance. An experimental investigation was conducted development of zinc stearate silicon dioxide coatings surface hot-dipped galvanised zinc-coated steel substrates, which could be used to induce superhydrophobicity. Under optimal formulat...

Metal oxide-based transistors can be fabricated by low-cost, large-area solution processing methods, but involve a trade-off between low processing temperature, facile charge transport and high-capacitance/low-voltage transistor gates. We achieve these simultaneously by fabricating zinc oxide and sodium-incorporated alumina (SA) thin films with temperature not exceeding 200 to 250 °C using aque...

treat acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]) and against the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (to treat hypertension) are the only protease inhibitors approved by the FDA for therapeutic use (see Table 1). HIV-1 protease is an aspartic protease that is necessary for the processing of viral polypeptides late in the viral replicative cycle. Inhibition of this activity prevents formation of...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases which are involved in the proteolytic processing of several components of the extracellular matrix. As a consequence, MMPs are implicated in several physiological and pathological processes, like skeletal growth and remodelling, wound healing, cancer, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis, raising a very widespread inter...

The collaboration between Sharp Laboratories of America (SLA), Oregon State University (OSU) and ORNL focused on low thermal budget pulse thermal processing (PTP) technique to develop high performance copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) thin film system for advanced photovoltaic (PV) applications, with the goal to develop novel fabrication processes for the manufacture of low-cost, high-performance ...
