Salmonellosis is a significant public health problem worldwide. It has been implicated in a number of food-borne outbreaks in the Republic of Ireland; its prevention, surveillance, and control have become a public health ...

Nanoporous Gold (NPG) is a material of emerging interest for immobilization of biomolecules and especially enzymes. NPG materials provide a high surface area onto which biomolecules can either be directly physisorbed, ...

High loading (>1.6 mg cm−2) of Si nanowires (NWs) is achieved by seeding the growth from a dense array of Cu15Si4 NWs using tin seeds. A one-pot synthetic approach involves the direct growth of CuSi NWs on Cu foil that ...

Pyrolysis is a promising way to convert biomass into fuels and chemicals. This reaction is complex and inevitably involves a cascade of radical reactions that lead to char formation, in which some radicals become trapped ...

The integrative conjugative elements, ICE s SXT and R391 are the prototypes of a group of gram negative integrative elements known as the SXT/R391 group. R391 was identified in a clinical isolate of Providencia in the ...

To date, many nanoadsorbents have been developed and used to eliminate heavy metal contamination, however, one of the challenges ahead is the preparation of adsorbents from processes in which toxic organic solvents are ...

Ni50Co50-layered double hydroxide/UiO-66-NH2 metal–organic framework nanocomposite (Ni50Co50-LDH/UiO-66-NH2 NC) was synthesized through a facile ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal method. UiO-66-NH2 MOF nanocrystals were ...

Time-resolved step-scan FTIR spectroscopy has been employed to probe the dynamics of the ba3 oxidoreductase from Thermus thermophilus in the ns-µs time range and in the pH/pD 6-9 range. The data revealed a pH/pD sensitivity ...

Vanillin crystals in a saturated aqueous solution disappear and a second liquid phase emerges when the temperature is raised above 51°C. The phenomenon has been investigated with crystallization and equilibration experiments, ...

This study aims to provide a geometrical description of biomass particles that can be used in combustion models. The particle size of wood and herbaceous biomass was compared using light microscope, 2D dynamic imaging, ...
