The increasing demand for sustainable and high-performance lubricants in the automotive industry has led to a growing interest in bio-lubricants as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional petroleum-based lubricants. Despite their advantages, such as biodegradability, lower toxi [....] » Read More
Title : Fighting antibiotic resistance: Eliminating implant infections in humans without antibiotics
Thomas Jay Webster, Brown University, United States
Nanomedicine is the use of nanomaterials to improve disease prevention, detection, and treatment which has resulted in hundreds of FDA approved medical products. While nanomedicine has been around for several decades, new technological advances are pushing its boundaries. For exa [....] » Read More
Title : Direct solar leaf-dehydration: physiochemistry, and practice on the island of Crete
Victor John Law, University College Dublin, Ireland
There is increased interest in the use of direct solar energy treatments for the dehydration of leaves prior to their use both in culinary applications, as well as their long-term storage. The treatment also has application as a first-step, prior to traditional organic-solvent fr [....] » Read More
Title : PH-dependent recoil stabilization in Iodates following the (n,gamma) process
Shree Niwas Chaturvedi, Centre for Aptitude Analysis and Talent Search, Heritage School, Buxar, India
The neutron capture reaction ¹²⁷I(n,γ)¹²⁸I offers a direct route to no-carrier-added ¹²⁸I, yet the chemical state of the product is dictated not by nuclear physics alone but by the subsequent hot-atom chemistry of the recoil fragment. In [....] » Read More
Title : Application of the Michaelis-Menten formalism to hydrocracking-related reactions and analysis of the features of the reactors
Orchidea Maria Lecian, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
I establish a comprehensive theoretical foundation for the catalytic hydrocracking of heavy residues, focusing on vacuum residues derived from both coal and petroleum resources. The strategic upgrading of these complex heavy oils centers on crucial industrial chemical objectives, [....] » Read More
Title : Palladium-catalyzed direct ortho-alkoxylation of 1-aryl-1H-indazoles via C–H bond activation
Shivani, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Reseach-Lucknow, India
A palladium-catalyzed, PIDA-promoted cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) strategy has been developed for the direct and regioselective ortho-alkoxylation of 1-aryl-1H-indazoles through C-H bond functionalization. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first dire [....] » Read More
Title : Brownfield remediation with phosphates: A nature-based and circular economy approach - a case study from Central Italy
Alessia Corami, Cerege/ AixMarseille University, Italy
Soil contamination by heavy metals (HMs) [or potential toxic elements (PTEs)] poses serious risks to ecosystems and human health. Moreover, cleaning up a brownfield is a hard task because HMs are non-degradable, persistent, and often difficult to remove. Heavy metal inputs arise [....] » Read More
Title : From fungal biomass to functional chitosan: a green route to low-molecular-weight polymers via Aspergillus niger fermentation
Javad Chehri, Medico checm research centre of Medicine Biotechnology , Spain
The escalating global demand for chitosan, a biocompatible, biodegradable, and antimicrobial biopolymer, has necessitated the exploration of sustainable production pathways beyond traditional crustacean sources. Conventional chitosan manufacturing is constrained by seasonal avail [....] » Read More
Title : Chemical-soil-biological engineering and biogeosystem technique methodology for long-term environmental sustainability
Valery P Kalinitchenko, All-Russian Phytopathology Research Institute, Institute of Fertility of Soils of South Russia, Russian Federation
The current “ecosphere–technology” conflict and poor environmental sustainability stem from an outdated technological platform for environmental, agricultural, and chemical management. At its root, this conflict arises from attempts to merely imitate natural phe [....] » Read More
Title : Tomographic image of molecules based on spin-spin interactions that are part of them resonating nuclei of atoms
Vladimir Voronov, Irkutsk National Research Technical University, Russian Federation
The paper provides a theoretical substantiation of the method of obtaining a tomographic image of multielectronic (molecular) systems. According to existing ideas, the spin-spin interaction between resonating nuclei, manifested in NMR spectra, is carried out by means of ele [....] » Read More
Title : Antibacterial activity of bioactive compounds extracted from the Egyptian untapped green algae Rhizoclonium hieroglyphicum
Ahmed Diab Mohamed Ahmed El Esawy, Drinking Water and Sanitation Company, Egypt
Finding alternative powerful antibacterial drugs of natural origins is, today, a crucial prerequisite due to the resistance of some bacterial strains to commercial and widely-used medications. Algae are characterized by their bioactive constituents and have a wide spectrum of bio [....] » Read More
Title : Study of hydrogen transfer reactions within the framework of the non-equilibrium approach
I A Romanskii, N N Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics, Russian Federation
The kinetics of H-atom transfer reactions of methane with methyl and hydroxyl radicals in the gas phase was studied within the framework of the non-equilibrium approach (energy calculation level CCSD(T)/6-311++G**//B3LYP/6-31G**). Analysis of experimental data leads to the conclu [....] » Read More
Title : In-search of metallic corrosion inhibitors: Chemical science and latest trends
Abdulmumin Malam Usman, Department of chemistry, Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences, Nigerian Army University Biu, Borno State, Nigeria
Literature has established that; Metallic corrosion remains one of the most persistent challenges confronting modern infrastructure, energy systems, transportation, chemical processing, oil and gas production, construction and marine technologies. To cube the challenges, chemical [....] » Read More
Title : Memory characteristics and crystallographic aspects of reversibility in shape memory alloys
Osman Adiguzel, Firat University, Turkey
Shape memory alloys take place in a class of advanced smart materials by exhibiting dual memory characteristics, shape memory effect and superelasticity in the β-phase region with chemical composition with recoverability of two shapes at different conditions. Shape memory ef [....] » Read More
Title : Quo vadis cell-penetrating peptide?
Siegmund Reissmann, Friedrich Schiller University, Germany
This contribution discusses the state of the art with cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs). While CPPs from first generation exhibit only low cell and tissue selectivity, the peptides from the newer generation are characterized by an innate selectivity for distinct cells or specific [....] » Read More
