Arid areas play a significant role in the global nitrogen cycle. Dry and wet deposition of inorganic nitrogen (N) species were monitored at one urban (SDS) and one suburban (TFS) site at Urumqi in a semi-arid region of central Asia. Atmospheric concentrations of NH3, NO2, HNO3, particulate ammonium and nitrate (pNH4 (+) and pNO3 (-)) concentrations and NH4-N and NO3-N concentrations in precipit...

pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes a variety of infections in compromised patients. the ability of pseudomonas aeruginosa to produce chronic infection is based in part on its ability to biosynthesis of biofilm, and alginate is the major polysaccharide in the synthesized biofilm. so alginate degradation is very essential in the dispersion of pseudomonas aeruginosa bi...

The capacity of the serum of rabbits following intradermal pneumococcus infections to precipitate in the presence of pneumococcus C polysaccharide has been studied during the resultant periods of active infection and during recovery. In rabbits infected with Type I, III, or VIII pneumococci, large hemorrhagic lesions are produced which frequently bring about death of the animals after a febrile...

The study presents a more efficient way of exfoliating MoS2 in water and the exfoliated was used an electrode. electrodes were prepared from (active material)–nanocrystalline cellulose (binder) with carbon nanotubes (electron-conducting support) demonstrated zinc battery half-cell that showed Coulombic efficiency 90%. Successful exfoliation done by sonication bulk sulfated nanocrystals (CNC) fo...

Water-soluble fluorescent Ag nanoclusters (NCs) were synthesized at room temperature with sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) as a protective agent. The effects of synthetic conditions on the fluorescence properties of Ag NCs were investigated. The results show that the fluorescence intensity of Ag NCs strongly depends on the synthetic conditions, such as the molar ratio of AgNO3 versus SDS and sodi...
