Adsorption of Rhesus monkey erythrocytes to the plasma membranes of measles virusinfected cells is frequently carried out to detect the presence of plasma membrane-associated measles virus hemagglutinin. The hemagglutinin is a viral genome-coded structural glycoprotein of the measles virion that is associated with the plasma membrane of the host cell during measles virus replication. BGM/MV,ano...

Pb(II) is a representative heavy metal in industrial wastewater, which may frequently cause serious hazard to living organisms. In this study, comparative studies between alginate nanoparticles (AN) and quercetin-decorated alginate nanoparticles (Q-AN) were investigated for Pb(II) ion adsorption. Characterization of AN and Q-AN were analysed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier tr...

In this work, we analyze artificial heavy-metal solutions with ferrite nanoparticles. Measurements of adsorption effectiveness of different kinds of particles, pure magnetite or magnetite doped with calcium, cobalt, manganese, or nickel ions, were carried out. A dependence of the adsorption efficiency on the composition of the inorganic core has been observed. Ferrites surfaces were modified by...

This paper presents a comparative study of the efficiency of biodegradation, adsorption and simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation (SAB) process for the remediation of industrial wastewaters containing both cyanide and phenol. Adsorption was carried out using granular activated carbon (GAC), while biodegradation was achieved by co-fermentation with Pseudomonas putida and Azotobacter chrooco...

Platinum is the most widely used catalyst in fuel cell electrodes. Designing improved catalysts with low or no platinum content is one of the grand challenges in fuel cell research. Here, we investigate electronic structures of Pt(4) and Pt(3)Co clusters and report a comparative study of adsorption of H(2), O(2), and CO molecules on the two clusters using density functional theory. The adsorpti...

Heavy metals such as Cu(II) and Pb(II) are among the hazardous pollutants that lead to severe ecological problems and have a toxic effect on living organisms. The removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by Iranian bentonite experiment were conducted in single component and multi component systems. The bentonite from the Birjand area was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern and FTIR spectroscopy. The...

The adsorption of serum lipoproteins onto an insoluble matrix of colloidal silicic acid results in the removal of nonspecific inhibitors of rubella virus hemagglutinin. The procedure can be performed in 15 min at room temperature. Comparative studies using both the dextran sulfate-CaCl2 and heparin-MnCl2 methods for removal of inhibitors demonstrated that the colloidal silicic acid procedure yi...

Whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in surface-fixated fluorescent polystyrene microbeads are studied in view of their capability of sensing the formation of biochemical adsorption layers on their outer surface with the well-established biotin-streptavidin specific binding as the model system. Three different methods for analysis of the observed shifts in the WGM wavelength positions are applied an...
