conclusions concerning the ability of salicorniaeuropea to survive in the contaminated areas, it might be suitable that endemic types of this plant would be cultivated in contaminated coast lines. results the highest uptake was at eight mg crude oil, per one g of soil and the least uptake was at 13.75 mg crude oil, per one g of soil. it seems that physical characteristics of crude oil are the m...

The molecular self-assembly of aromatic building blocks is a powerful approach to the construction of dynamic nanostructures that are able to respond to external stimuli by changing their shape and/or macroscopic properties. In this context, it is possible to modulate the interplay between multiple noncovalent interactions through the rational design of molecular modules. The directionality of ...
