photocatalytic membranes exhibit great potential for water treatment since they combine the filtration and photo degradation in a single unit. although blending photocatalytic nanoparticles into polymeric thin film remains the simplest method to prepare the photocatalytic membrane, the entrapped photocatalyst showed less catalytic activity due to the agglomeration and shielding effects in the p...

The present study attempts to introduce a method of statistical downscaling with a synoptic view. The precipitation data of Golestan Province has been used for the years 1971 to 2010. Employing multivariable regression, this study models the precipitation gauges in the station scale, by making use of 26 predicting components of model HadCM3, on the basis of two A2 and B2 scenarios. However, the...

magnetic cofe2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple chemical reaction using precipitation method. the obtained materials consist of ferrite particles with average diameter of 25 nm. the effect of different surfactants such as cationic, anionic and neutral on the morphology of the products was investigated. scanning electron microscopy was used to study the structure and particle size o...

Introduction: Fluid inclusions are micron-scale volumes of fluid entrapped during the precipitation of minerals. Fluids are entrapped during primary mineral growth, and during healing of later fractures. The water in fluid inclusions in minerals precipitated in the upper crust of Mars contains a record of the ambient environment during precipitation. This includes data on fluid temperature and ...

Traditionally, the integration of sensing gel layers in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is achieved via "bulk" methods, such as precipitation, spin-coating or in-situ polymerization onto the total surface of the sensor chip, combined with covalent attachment of the antibody or receptor to the gel surface. This is wasteful in terms of materials as the sensing only occurs at the point of resonanc...

A method to photo-chemically trigger fluorescent labelling of proteins in live cells is developed. The approach is based on photo-caged split-intein mediated conditional protein trans-splicing reaction and enabled background-free fluorescent labelling of target proteins with the necessary spatiotemporal control.
